Electric Energy Technology for Australian Utilities
Foton provides utility-grade Electric Energy Technology solutions that support grid stability, renewable integration and network performance across Australia. These systems combine high-capacity battery storage with intelligent control platforms to deliver peak management, frequency services, reserve capacity and renewable smoothing.
Grid Scale Energy Storage Benefits
For utilities and network operators seeking reliable grid stability and renewable integration
Load Adjustment
Absorb, store, or release power on command for cost-effective grid balancing and demand-side management.
Smoothing Intermittent Energy
Intelligently smooth and time-shift variable outputs of wind and solar, reducing rapid ramps.
Increase Renewable Consumption
Enable capture and dispatch of renewable energy during high production periods.
Enhance Grid Reserve Capacity
Rapidly scale reserve capacity up or down for contingency and long-duration management.
Market Support Service
Fast Frequency Response (FFR), spinning reserves, and synthetic inertia for grid markets.
Peak Load & Frequency Regulation
Millisecond-level response for peak demand and grid frequency management.
Renewable Integration at Scale
Confidently connect wind and solar projects to Australia's National Electricity Market.
Reduce Curtailment
Store and dispatch energy that would otherwise be lost due to grid constraints.
Applications
Battery Storage for Power Generation Sites
Grid-scale storage at the point of energy production from solar and wind farms to fossil generation and hybrid plants.
- • Capture excess output during off-peak to dispatch at price peaks
- • Enable Virtual Power Plant (VPP) participation
- • Improve plant reliability during ramp events
Applications: Solar, wind, hydro, hybrid facilities, peaking plants
Battery Storage for Grid Operators
Deployed at substations, distribution hubs, transmission stations, and load centres.
- • Spinning and contingency reserves for operators
- • Buffer rapid ramps in load or generation
- • Alleviate network congestion
- • Support microgrid and black-start operations
Applications: Utility companies, industrial parks, community grids
