Tesla, fresh from the success of its newly opened big battery in South Australia,
. . . has joined 18 other groups,
. . . competing for the right to build another big battery,
. . . this time in the Northern Territory.
The government-owned utility Territory Generation,
. . . wants the battery to provide:
. . . . . . contingency frequency control ancillary services (FCAS),
. . . . . . reduce the required spinning reserve, from its
. . . . . . . . . 40–50MW of “spinning reserve” gas and diesel generators,
. . . . . . provide peak shaving, and
. . . . . . ultimately allow for more solar PV in the local grid.
