  8. Repost: Completing a Grid-Scale Battery Energy Storage course

    I have recently completed a new course focused on Grid-Scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), further strengthening my knowledge of the key aspects involved in developing utility-scale energy storage projects.

  9. Repost: Battery storage is growing 30%+ annually, and most learn it on the job

    Battery storage is growing 30%+ annually — and most professionals are learning it on the job. A 15-hour deep dive into grid-scale BESS, from core engineering to project bankability.

  10. Sodium batteries: which sodium are we talking about?

    A quick reminder that "sodium battery" is not one thing — sodium-ion, sodium-sulfur, and sodium-nickel-chloride are different chemistries at very different maturity levels.

  1. career · certification · learning

    What BESS certification should I get?

    The honest answer to the most common question I get: which BESS credential is worth your time, and when experience beats any certificate.

  2. harmonics · power-quality · power-systems

    How harmonics change the shape of a sine wave

    Harmonics are easy to state in theory and hard to picture — until you watch how stacking components distorts a smooth sine into a square, a sawtooth, and beyond.

  3. mv-skid · equipment · grid-integration

    What's actually inside an MV Skid

    "MV Skid" comes up constantly in BESS projects, but not everyone pictures the same thing inside it — here is what the package typically contains and why it matters.

  4. Repost: Swaroop Kumar completes the BESS course

    A course graduate shares what the Battery Energy Storage System course covered — battery technologies, BMS, PCS, EMS, grid integration, and the role of BESS in modern power systems.

  5. Repost: Gangaraju Pilly completes the BESS course

    A graduate reflects on the grid-scale BESS course — fundamentals, system architecture, project development, battery technologies, financials, and real-world industry perspective.

  6. What makes this energy transition different

    Every fuel before this one got denser and easier to store — fossil fuels were natural storage. Renewables break that link, and that is what makes this transition structurally different.

  7. Repost: My professor once told me I was more excited about why renewables would fail

    My professor once told me I was more excited about why renewables would fail than why they'd succeed — a repost on why the hard problems are the interesting ones.

  8. Repost: Nashvinder Singh completes the BESS Complete Guide

    A short note of thanks on finishing the "Grid-Scale Battery Energy Storage (BESS): Complete Guide" course.

  9. site-design · visualization · grid-integration

    A BESS site map you can click through

    Explaining how a grid-scale battery site fits together usually means a single-line diagram that makes sense to one person in the room — so I built something more practical.

  10. Repost: A course graduate maps the full BESS stack

    Sagar Bhatta connects the whole utility-scale BESS picture — from cell electrochemistry and control hierarchy to grid compliance, revenue stacking, and project bankability.

  1. Repost: Leonardo Cabrera earns a grid-scale storage certification

    A note on completing a Grid-Scale Battery Energy Storage certification, with thanks to the sponsors who made the learning opportunity possible.

  2. Repost: Bibek B. finishes the BESS masterclass

    A graduate on what the course delivered — cell-to-system design, safety and risk planning, and the project-management and bankability frameworks behind utility-scale BESS.
