"Operating via the Hornsdale Power Reserve, it has helped to restore stability to the network . . .
It does not, and never will. A battery would normally be connected by a static inverter. As such, the connection provides no inertia and will not improve the stability of the system. In fact, by displacing conventional rotating plant, it may make it worse.

Why do you need inertia when you have a power station with a response time of 100 milliseconds?
This isn't some diesel generator that has to crank into life when it's needed. It's a 129MWh battery connected to a 100MW inverter than can go from standby to full power before you have even realised that you have a supply problem.
