Prof. Madya Ir. Ts. Dr. Jasrul Jamani Jamian, representing Prospek Lestari, recently participated as a panel member in a regional forum on Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The one-hour discussion brought together panelists from multiple countries, enabling a focused exchange of views on the current state and future direction of grid-scale energy storage across the region.
Key Panel Conclusions
- Lithium-based BESS remains the most suitable technology for grid-scale applications at present.
- The energy density of lithium batteries is approximately double that of sodium-based alternatives.
- The carbon footprint of lithium BESS is generally lower compared to other storage technologies.
- For long-duration applications (8–24 hours), lithium BESS may require hybridisation with other storage solutions to meet performance and reliability needs.
This engagement highlights Prospek Lestari’s continued leadership in promoting knowledge exchange, innovation, and sustainable energy solutions, while strengthening collaboration opportunities across the ASEAN region.
