As part of GIZ’s global “Partnerships to Accelerate the Energy Transition” (PACT) initiative, Energynautics, commissioned through a GET.transform Leveraged Partnership, delivered a series of technical workshops on Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for key stakeholders in Thailand’s energy sector. The PACT project promotes international collaboration and accelerates the global energy transition through targeted knowledge exchange among energy experts. The initiative builds on GIZ’s long-standing presence in partner countries and draws on the expertise of international energy initiatives.

In Thailand, one of PACT’s focal points is supporting the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Knowledge Sharing Platform. As part of this activities, GIZ Thailand, organized a series of technical workshops in 2025 for representatives from key Thai energy institutions. Energynautics contributed by delivering deep-dive sessions on the technical, regulatory, and economic aspects of BESS deployment in power grids.

More than 100 professionals from the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) participated in the initial two-part online workshop series held in April and May 2025. The first workshop focused on international best practices and insights into BESS technology. Energynautics CEO Dr. Eckehard Tröster presented the role of BESS in Europe and emerging economies, discussing technology trends, safety considerations, regulatory frameworks, and best practices from leading BESS markets.

The second session addressed practical implementation, covering the technical and economic feasibility of integrating BESS into Thailand’s power system. Dr. Tröster provided insights into system design, inverter configurations, and feasibility planning. Using a range of case studies, he emphasized the importance of various use case applications, different financial mechanisms and tools, and strategies for revenue optimization.

The workshop series concluded with an in-person event in June 2025, which brought together representatives from PACT, GIZ Thailand, the International Energy Agency (IEA), the Thai-German Cooperation on Energy, Mobility and Climate (TGC EMC), and several Thai energy institutions. In the final workshop, Dr. Tröster led three in-depth technical sessions on grid stability and security, grid code requirements, and business models for BESS deployment.
