Off-Grid BESS
What is BESS
Battery Energy Storage System?
A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) stores energy in batteries and releases it when needed, playing a key role in managing power supply and demand. It captures energy from various sources, storing it for later use. Key components include battery cells, a battery management system (BMS) for safety, an inverter to convert energy to usable forms, and an Energy Management System (EMS) to control flow and optimize storage. BESS is essential for stabilizing the power grid and in transitioning to cleaner energy by supporting a reliable, flexible, and efficient power grid.
Key Benefits.
Grid stability and reliability
BESS helps balance supply and demand, ensuring a stable grid making it possible to integrate renewable energy sources
Energy cost savings
By storing energy during off-peak hours, BESS can reduce energy costs for both utilities and end users.
Backup power and resilience
BESS provides backup power during outages, enhancing resilience for homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure like hospitals that are mostly reliant on fossil fuel backup, for example Diesel.
Technical Specifications.
Capacity (kWh)
Indicates the total amount of energy the BESS can store. The capacity determines how long the system can supply energy and is a key factor in sizing the BESS for its intended application.
Power rating (kW)
Specifies the maximum amount of energy the BESS can deliver at any given moment. This defines how much instantaneous power the system can provide, which is crucial for meeting high-deman periods.
Round-Trip Efficiency (%)
Indicating the energy lost in the storage process - a higher efficiency means less energy loss and more effective storage and retrieval.
