Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), sometimes referred to as Stationary Battery Storage Solutions, are energy optimization systems designed to store electrical energy for later use. The batteries receive electricity from the power grid, directly from the power station, or from a renewable energy source such as solar panels, and subsequently stores it then discharges when desired.
These systems consist of one or more batteries and are used in a variety of applications within commercial, industrial, residential and utility sectors to ultimately improve the reliability, quality and affordability of electricity.
Specific benefits of Battery Storage Systems include:
- Load shifting
- Flexibility
- Scalability
- Grid stability
- Reduction of grid congestion
- Ability to use the stored energy during storm outages or emergency response situations, guaranteeing business continuity.
With battery storage you can even generate new revenue streams via peak shaving, which directly reduces your energy bill.
