A BESS project can look right on paper and still go wrong in the details.
Learn to connect the technical, operational, contractual and financial decisions before an assumption becomes a redesign, a warranty dispute or a number that no longer works.
- 12 core modules
- Optional technical library
- ≈ 30 hours
- Online in English
Payment is taken today. Programme access begins in September 2026, and your 12-month access period starts when access is activated.
You do not need another person in the meeting who understands one box.
You probably know the meeting.
The supplier talks about nominal energy. The financial model assumes usable energy. The contract says guaranteed capacity. Everybody nods.
Nobody stops to ask whether those three numbers mean the same thing.
Then the project moves forward. And months later one of these things happens:
- The design looked correct on paper, but auxiliary losses destroy the net performance assumption.
- The operating strategy asks the battery to do something the warranty quietly penalises.
- The EMS response does not match what the revenue model assumed it could monetise.
- The acceptance test proves a result that is not the result the contract needed.
- Degradation and augmentation arrive in the model after the investment decision, not before it.
That is not bad luck. It is what happens when everyone understands their component and nobody understands the consequences between components.
Seeing the consequences is what makes you valuable.
The BESS Academy is built around that second skill.
Not memorising more acronyms. Connecting technical, operational, contractual, and financial decisions well enough to ask the uncomfortable question while it is still cheap to answer.
“This course offers a comprehensive view of all the key aspects to consider in the development of BESS projects, addressing them from different perspectives.”Hayat · BESS, PV, Sales & Business Development
“Practical and direct… real experiences that make understanding much easier.”Juan G. · Electrical Engineer, Power System EPC
Twelve modules. One connected decision chain.
M0–M11 form the complete Professional Core Path. The optional TD1–TD9 library adds specialist depth whenever you need it.
Technical Deep Dive Library
TD1–TD9. Included, optional, and non-linear.
This is probably for you.
Unless it is not.
I would rather make that clear before you pay.
It is for you if…
- You work in engineering, development, EPC, consulting, operations, asset management, investment, or project finance around utility-scale BESS.
- You are moving from solar, wind, grid, or electrical infrastructure into energy storage.
- You need to challenge suppliers, assumptions, models, guarantees, and project interfaces with more confidence.
- You want a structured view of the whole project, not another collection of isolated presentations.
It is not for you if…
- You want a three-hour shortcut that promises to turn you into a BESS expert.
- You only want vendor-specific product training.
- You are looking for project-specific engineering or investment advice.
- You do not have time to think, question, and apply what you learn.
Two complementary perspectives. One connected programme.
Juan connects BESS technology to real projects, contracts, commercial decisions and field experience. Sergey adds the granular technical depth behind cells, systems and components. The value is in bringing both perspectives together without losing one clear learning path.

Clear answers before you enrol.
When does the 2026 English programme begin?
Programme access begins in September 2026. Your purchase reserves your place now, and you will receive activation information when the English edition opens.
Do I receive course access immediately after buying?
No. This is an Early Bird purchase. Payment and order confirmation happen now; course access is activated when the programme opens. Your 12-month access period begins on activation, not on the purchase date.
What is included in the Early Bird purchase?
The 12-module Professional Core Path, the optional Technical Deep Dive Library, approximately 30 hours of structured training, practical cases and resources, programme updates during your access period, and a certificate for completing the Core Path.
Do I need previous BESS experience?
No previous BESS experience is required. A basic background in electrical, renewable-energy, infrastructure, engineering, project, or finance work will help you apply the material more quickly.
Is the Technical Deep Dive Library mandatory?
No. M0–M11 form the coherent Professional Core Path. The TD1–TD9 library is included as optional specialist depth and does not block completion of the Core programme.
What if I change my mind after purchasing?
Please review The BESS Academy’s refund and cancellation policy before purchase. The applicable policy is linked next to the enrolment button below.
You can wait until September.
Or reserve your place now.
