Wedoany.com Report-Mar 7, Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners has announced plans to build an advanced long-duration battery energy storage system (BESS) in collaboration with CATL.
In a statement, Quinbrook said this will be the “world’s first genuine 8-hour battery at more than double the current maximum 4-hour duration BESS.”
Quinbrook said this project is just in time to support “the delivery of cost-competitive renewables over an extended delivery profile.”
The company is eyeing a near-term deployment of over 3 gigawatts of long-duration capacity at various sites across Australia to serve both existing partners and new commercial and industrial customers.
This will specifically be first deployed in Quinbrook’s Supernode site in Brisbane which already hosts Australia’s largest BESS campus.
