EnharComm at the BESS Development Summit 2026 (Melbourne)

EnharComm presented at the Responsible BESS Development Summit in Melbourne on 27 October 2026, with two sessions on commercial and industrial battery storage - covering the engineering, the financial case and the grid-connection realities behind a successful BESS project.

Our sessions at the Summit

Designing smarter commercial BESS: value engineering and grid-ready solutions

Roger Mansfield, Technical Director, EnharComm Parallel Track 4 | 12:30 - 12:45 PM

Roger explored commercial battery engineering and grid applications, covering systems from 30kVA to 5MVA. His session walked through the detailed design requirements, value-engineering approaches, and the grid-approval process - including the key constraints and the role of grid-connection readiness in successful project delivery.

Commercial financial modelling: making your battery bring home the bacon

Andrew Reddaway, EV Team Leader, EnharComm Parallel Track 5 | 1:00 - 1:20 PM

Andrew presented as part of a C&I BESS case-studies session focused on optimised performance and revenue. His talk drew on real ‘behind the meter’ C&I BESS installations, showing how Australian battery solutions are being designed for a rapidly evolving energy market - with practical technical insights and a sharp focus on optimising system revenue.

The combined picture

Together the two sessions covered the full arc of a commercial battery project - from the financial case for investing, through to a value-engineered, grid-ready design.

Key themes from the sessions

• How the financial case for a commercial battery actually gets built, and what drives the return.

• Real-world lessons from behind-the-meter C&I BESS installations.

• The design and grid-connection factors that make or break a commercial BESS project.
