Field-tested engineering notes, a design platform for sizing and single-line diagrams, and structured training - from first sizing pass to commissioned, bankable site.
Helping deliver bankable, buildable battery energy storage projects - from spec to commissioning.
Storage is being built faster than the industry can train the people who will deliver it. This site, and the course it grew into, is one engineer's contribution to closing that gap: practical engineering experience written down and passed on to the next engineer in the chair.
Engineering-led and built for grid-scale storage: understand the engineering, design the project, and train the team.
How a storage project gets from a power purchase agreement to a commissioned asset, broken into the parts that need a dedicated owner.
Director of Product Engineering, grid-scale BESS — an engineer who writes things down.
I write as BESS.engineer: a working notebook from product engineering in the battery energy storage industry, based in Vancouver, BC.
The focus is grid-scale BESS delivery: system architecture, integration, certification, project execution, and the engineering decisions that lock in for decades of operation.
If this site helps you make one better project decision, it has done its job.
Everything I wish I had when I started in storage: sequenced, illustrated, and built around projects I have actually delivered.
207 lessons across 11 sections covering electrical foundations, lithium-ion cells, enclosures, PCS, controls, safety, augmentation, project finance, and how battery storage makes money.
Recent LinkedIn posts on BESS delivery, updated as the projects update.
Working notes are posted on LinkedIn first, then synced weekly to the blog.
IEEE 1547 is one of 64 grid codes in the ride-through chart — every LVRT, HVRT and FRT envelope plotted against the clause it was read from.
