Grid scale BESS can be used for frequency regulation, peak shaving (i.e. reducing demand during peak hours to lower grid stress or avoid high tariffs) and grid stability. The 750 kW BESS project at the PECC2 Innovation Hub in Ho Chi Minh City is an example of this.

[pdf] System Scale: Think “bigger is cheaper”—sort of. A 100 MWh system might cost $400/kWh, while smaller 10 MWh setups hover around $600/kWh. Infrastructure & Installation: Pumps, tanks, and inverters aren’t free, folks. Site prep can add 15-20% to your bill.
