What is the EPC phase?

Despite the EPC phase being one of the shortest in a project’s lifecycle, the range of work is large. It includes selecting modules; creating electrical wiring diagrams, which requires an awareness of local site regulations; civil engineering and construction work, which can include earth or mechanical work.

How a liquid electrolyte is pumped from a storage tank?

Liquid electrolytes are pumped from the storage tanks through electrodes where the chemical energy in the electrolyte is converted to electrical energy (discharge) or vice versa (charge). The electrolytes flowing through the cathode and anode are often different and referred to as catholyte and anolyte, respectively.

What drives EPC costs?

Construction costs are the area of most variability for overall EPC costs and hold out the promise for greatest areas of cost reduction. These costs are driven by where and how the unit is deployed and the experience of those doing the work. The deployment location of the ESS is the first-level driver for construction costs.

What is an EPC project?

EPC projects that are also known as ‘turnkey’ and as the contractor assumes responsibility for engineering services, procurement of materials, hiring of teams and materials, and execution of the work, among other tasks, to deliver the project ready to be operated by the client by a given deadline and with a number of guarantees.

How do EPC contracts work?

As for the payment, the EPC contracts typically provide for a payment schedule running in parallel with the construction milestones agreed between the parties.

What is a “full-wrap” EPC contract?

This chapter describes the best practice for a “full-wrap” EPC contract, under which the EPC service provider undertakes to build and deliver the plant in compliance with the agreed time-schedule. The EPC service provider also manages the supply of the necessary equipment, and all the necessary ancillary works and activities.
