The Chinese storage manufacturer Lingtech has launched a grid-forming BESS with synthetic inertia, voltage and frequency regulation, black-start capability, and PV–microgrid integration for utility and large C&I applications.

Chinese battery manufacturer Lingtech has unveiled a new battery energy storage system (BESS) for utility and large commercial and industrial (C&I) use.

Called the 6MWh 3MW Grid-Forming BESS, the system features a storage capacity of 6 MWh and nominal AC power of 3MW.

“The core of the system lies in its ability to mimic the inertia response of traditional synchronous generators, that is, its grid-forming technology (GFM),” said the company. “It provides primary frequency regulation, voltage support, and black-start capability to restart the grid in the event of a total blackout.”

Lingtech further explained that the new product opeates as a controlled voltage source and can independently set and maintain the grid’s voltage and frequency.
