    BESS as a virtual power line

    Participants evaluate a battery energy storage system used to defer transmission investment, a real and growing use case as grid build-out struggles to keep pace with load.

    Why a VPL

    When a BESS at the right location is faster and cheaper than building new lines, and how operators value the deferral.

    Revenue stack

    Capacity payments, ancillary services, energy arbitrage, and the contractual structures that make it bankable.

    Sizing

    How power, energy, and duration are chosen against the underlying constraint, and the trade-off with degradation.

    Work cases like this inside the programme

    Every BatteryMBA cohort runs an optional case study track where participants build recommendations on live industry questions, mentored by lecturers working on the same problems.
