Workshop: Unlocking solar + storage in Southeast Asia: Hybried system design for grid-ready deployment

Southeast Asia is at a pivotal moment in its energy transition, with growing demand for renewable energy solutions that are both scalable and grid-compatible. This presentation explores the role of hybrid solar PV and battery energy storage systems (BESS) as a key enabler for accelerating solar adoption across the region, addressing the unique technical challenges posed by emerging grid infrastructure and tropical operating conditions.

The session will provide a technical deep dive into hybrid system design, covering DC- and AC-coupled configurations, system sizing considerations, and practical strategies for mitigating common deployment challenges such as grid instability, curtailment, and performance degradation. Attendees will gain insight into how thoughtful engineering decisions at the design stage directly influence long-term system performance and project viability.

Drawing on Worley’s project experience and technical capabilities, the presentation will conclude with real-world case studies that illustrate lessons learned from hybrid system deployments — offering actionable takeaways for developers, utilities, and technical stakeholders looking to advance solar and storage projects in Southeast Asia.
