This article reports a transformative project aimed at enhancing the control capabilities of a Portland General Electric (PGE) owned 5 MW/1.25 MWh ESS located at Salem Smart Power Center (SSPC), Salem, Oregon, USA toward achieving better techno-economic benefit. Steps for developing a value-driven control capability is illustrated starting from evaluation of economic opportunities that drive the coordination of multiple services to be delivered by an ESS to implementation and testing. Lessons learned during critical processes are identified for the benefit of the ESS industry.
