/ 01 · Who this is for

For the storage projects under active interconnection.

Battery energy storage is the fastest-growing compliance vertical in power generation. Every new project — standalone or co-located with solar and wind — has to demonstrate capability and dynamic response to the grid operator before commercial operation. The applicable framework is now IEEE 2800-2022 in most jurisdictions, layered with local grid code requirements that evolve quickly.

Our clients fall into five archetypes. Each needs the same thing in the end: a compliance package that closes the interconnection, releases the lender's retention and stands up to regulator review.

/ A

IPPs & Developers

New BESS projects under interconnection. Capability + dynamic + interconnection testing required before COD. Standalone or hybrid (PV + BESS, wind + BESS) configurations.

/ B

Utilities

Grid-service BESS — frequency regulation, fast frequency response, capacity firming. Validated capability data is required for dispatch and commercial agreements.

/ C

EPC Contractors

Acceptance test campaigns for owner handover. Independent third-party testing protects both the EPC schedule and the owner's acceptance gate.

/ D

OEMs

Tesla, Fluence, Wärtsilä, BYD, Sungrow, Hitachi Energy, SMA — third-party verification of inverter and integrated-system performance preserves independence from the supplier.

/ E

Lenders & DFIs

Independent BESS performance verification underwriting non-recourse storage finance. Capability tests, round-trip efficiency, and dynamic guarantees verified against contractual terms.

One playbook · five paths

Standalone, hybrid with PV, hybrid with wind, grid-service or behind-the-meter — the methodology is the same. IEEE 2800-aligned, OEM-fluent, regulator-ready.

/ 02 · What we deliver

Six concrete deliverables. One BESS-ready package.

Every BESS engagement produces the same set of artifacts. You know exactly what arrives at the end of the campaign — and what the regulator's interconnection team, your EPC and your lender each receive for sign-off.

Documentation is authored in the language the regulator and the contractual parties read. EN, ES, PT or AR — adapted to local regulatory submission format and OEM platform conventions.

/ 01

BESS test program design

Tailored to the specific BESS configuration, inverter platform and connection scope. Capability, dynamic and interconnection tests sequenced for SOC and thermal constraints. Reviewed with owner and operator before mobilization.

/ 02

Calibrated measurement data

Synchronized AC and DC measurements — high-speed voltage and current waveforms, frequency, SOC, temperature, control signals. Calibration-traceable to international standards.

/ 03

Capability curves

P-Q operating envelope across SOC range. Active and reactive power capability per IEEE 2800 — the document grid operators and lenders use to confirm dispatch readiness.

/ 04

Dynamic response reports

Primary and fast frequency response (PFR, FFR), voltage ride-through (LVRT, HVRT), active power ramp rate, reactive power dynamics. Each test against the local code and IEEE 2800 tolerance.

/ 05

Compliance dossier

Consolidated regulator-submission package. Adapted to CRE Mexico, ONS Brazil, CEN Chile, CAMMESA Argentina, XM Colombia or COES Peru protocols.

/ 06

Post-submission defense

We respond to regulator queries, supply clarifications and stand behind the report through final approval. BESS interconnections trigger newer regulator questions — we are positioned for them.

/ 03 · How we deliver it

Five phases. SOC-aware at every step.

Every BESS engagement follows the same disciplined methodology. Each phase produces specific deliverables that gate the next. SOC management, thermal constraints and inverter platform specifics are designed into the test sequence — not handled as exceptions.

This is the methodology that closes interconnection on schedule — and gives lenders confidence to release retention at COD.

/ 04 · Instrumentation & tools

Inverter-aware instrumentation. AC + DC, both sides.

BESS testing is fundamentally different from synchronous-machine testing. Inverters respond in milliseconds, not cycles. The DC side has to be captured alongside the AC side. SOC management has to live inside the test sequence, not next to it. Our instrumentation and analysis suite is built specifically for this — not adapted from generator-era tooling.

All field equipment is on a documented calibration cycle, traceable to international standards. Analysis runs in our internal BESS compliance suite with native IEEE 2800-2022 verification.

/ 05 · Accreditation & standards

Credentialed for operator and lender review.

ISO/IEC 17020 accreditation as a Type A inspection body is in progress, expected to complete in 2026. The methodology and the BESS-specific instrumentation already meet the technical requirements — accreditation formalizes what is already in place.

Every campaign is anchored to IEEE 2800-2022 — the modern global benchmark for inverter-based resource interconnection — and layered with the specific compliance requirements of the local grid code.

  • Capability, dynamic & interconnection scope
  • Local grid code overlays preserved
  • IEC 62933 alignment where applicable
/ 06 · Engagement preview

What a BESS campaign looks like.

BESS & Storage Compliance is one of the newer disciplines on the page — the global standard (IEEE 2800-2022) is only three years old, and most regulator frameworks are still actively updating to reflect it. We have built the methodology and the instrumentation stack to operate at the leading edge of where the discipline is going, not where it was.

Ready to mobilize on four weeks' notice. Languages, OEM platforms and regulator frameworks named below are all covered today.

Services that complete the picture.

BESS rarely arrives alone. Most engagements combine compliance testing with adjacent disciplines — model validation for the BESS inverter and battery system, electrical studies for the interconnection design, and regulatory filings authored by the team that ran the tests.
