The project will comprise a grid-scale BESS with a total discharge capacity of around 400MW.
This will make Wellington BESS one of the largest battery storage projects in NSW. Wellington is being constructed at 6773 and 6909 Goolma Road, Wuuluman NSW 2820. The project site is situated within the Central-West Orana Renewable energy Zone (CWO REZ), in the Dubbo Regional Council local government area (LGA).
The target capacity of the Wellington BESS is 500 MW / 1,000 MWh, making it one of the largest battery storage projects in NSW. The Wellington BESS will connect to the adjacent TransGrid Wellington substation, adjacent to the Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (Central West Orana REZ).
The existing Wellington substation is very strategically located within the NSW energy grid. The output from both stages of the Wellington Battery represents the demand from over 60,000 homes. This fund has been established with Dubbo Regional Council (DRC), allocating $2 million to the local community over the Battery's life.
Plans for construction of Stage 2 are ongoing, but construction is likely to follow 12 to 18 months behind Stage 1. The existing Wellington substation is very strategically located within the NSW energy grid. The output from both stages of the Wellington Battery represents the demand from over 60,000 homes.

Overcharging occurs when a lithium battery's charging voltage exceeds its maximum cut-off voltage, typically between 4. 4 volts (for cell phone lithium-ion batteries).
This article explores what these terms mean, their effects on battery health, and practical tips on how to avoid them. Overcharging occurs when a lithium battery's charging voltage exceeds its maximum cut-off voltage, typically between 4.2 and 4.4 volts (for cell phone lithium-ion batteries).
Overcharging occurs when a battery is charged beyond its maximum capacity, leading to harmful chemical and physical changes. But how exactly does overcharging affect charging cycles and battery lifespan? In this detailed guide, we'll explore the science behind overcharging, its effects on batteries, and how to prevent it. Let's dive in! Part 1.
Overcharge occurs when we continue to charge our electronic devices beyond their full battery capacity. This leads to a phenomenon known as trickle charging, where a small amount of current is continuously supplied to sustain the battery's charge.
Preventing overcharging is essential for maintaining battery health. Here are some practical tips to avoid overcharging: Use smart chargers: Smart chargers automatically stop charging when the battery reaches full capacity. Follow manufacturer guidelines: Always use chargers and power supplies recommended by the battery manufacturer.
Overcharging lithium batteries disrupts their chemical stability, triggering thermal runaway, capacity degradation, or fire risks. Modern chargers include safeguards, but prolonged charging accelerates electrode wear and electrolyte breakdown. Always use certified chargers and avoid leaving batteries plugged in indefinitely.
However, proper maintenance and charging practices are crucial to ensure their longevity. One common issue that negatively impacts batteries is overcharging. Overcharging occurs when a battery is charged beyond its maximum capacity, leading to harmful chemical and physical changes.
