The Ultimate Guide to Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
BESS is advanced technology enabling the storage of electrical energy, typically from renewable sources like solar or wind. It ensures consistent power availability amidst
This adaptability facilitates participation in Demand Response initiatives. Microgrid Support: Vital for the functionality of microgrids, BESS provides the necessary energy storage capacity to maintain operations independently from the main grid.
Integrating renewable power production, battery storage, and grid transmissions into one central platform, BESS operators can use an EMS to track the real-time performance and efficiency of their system's energy and financial activities.
Socomec's BESS solutions store energy during off-peak times and discharge it during peak periods, effectively reducing the power drawn from the grid during those periods. This approach flattens the demand curve, lowers energy costs, and optimizes overall energy management. 2. Self-Consumption Optimization
The most commonly used battery types in BESS include: Lithium-ion (Li-ion): Known for its high energy density, commonly used in electric vehicles and grid energy storage. Lead-acid battery: More affordable, but with lower efficiency and a shorter lifespan. Flow battery (e.g., all-vanadium flow battery): Ideal for long-term energy storage.
