Abstract

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are critical for modern power networks, supporting grid services such as frequency regulation, peak shaving, and black start. Delivering a BESS under an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) model requires a concise methodology that balances regulatory compliance, technical details, and schedule efficiency. This paper presents a streamlined, five step EPC framework covering feasibility assessment, permitting, procurement, construction, and commissioning. A Danish demonstration (the BOSS project on Bornholm) serves as a case study.
