WHAT IT DOES

​

  • Stores excess energy – from sources like solar panels, wind turbines, or the grid.

  • Releases energy when needed – such as during high demand, blackouts, or when renewable sources aren’t producing.

HOW IT WORKS

​

  • Electricity is stored in batteries  (commonly lithium-ion).

  • The system monitors when to charge or discharge the battery.

  • Power is delivered back to the grid or directly to users when needed.

WHY USE BESS​

​

  • Stabilises the grid by balancing supply  and demand.

  • Supports renewable energy by storing intermittent solar or wind power.

  • Reduces reliance on fossil fuels and helps cut carbon emissions.

  • Improves energy efficiency and reduce electricity costs

WHAT IS BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE?

A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a technology that stores electrical energy for use at a later time.

In our case, we manufacture industrial to utility-size capacity batteries, which simply stores more .

  • The Battery Energy Storage System is charged using electricity from the grid or renewable sources like solar panels, wind turbines or Waste to Energy plants.

  • This energy is then stored in the rechargeable batteries (most commonly lithium-ion). 

ENERGY CHARGING

ENERGY STORAGE

  • The electricity is stored in chemical form inside the batteries.

  • The battery holding period varies on the battery technology.

  • The system monitors the state of charge (SOC), voltage, temperature, and health of the batteries using a Battery Management System (BMS) to ensure safety and performance

ENERGY DISCHARGING

  • When there is high demand or low energy production (e.g. when solar panels aren’t producing at night), the BESS discharges stored electricity.

  • This electricity is converted from DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current) using an inverter, so it can be used by homes, businesses, or fed into the grid.

BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BMS)

  • A BMS or control system decides when to charge or discharge based on grid demand, electricity prices, weather forecasts (for renewables) and user settings or contracts (e.g. demand response)

  • This allows peak shaving, load shifting, and frequency regulation

GRID BALANCING

Helps maintain and enhance grid stability and a reliable power supply

RESILIENCE

Boost utility resilience and performance, providing backup power during outages

ENERGY INDEPENCE 

Versatile across the new energy mix, allowing storage of your own solar or wind power for later use 

COST SAVING

Used stored energy when electricity is the most expensive (peak time), optimising energy costs for strategic advantage

BENEFITS OF BESS

GRID OPTIMISATION

BESS are at the heart of grid optimisation, enabling real-time energy balancing, reducing transmission and distribution losses, supporting renewable energy integration, and enhancing overall grid flexibility and reliability.

As electricity demand becomes more dynamic and renewable generation more variable, BESS provides a crucial buffer by storing excess energy—particularly from sources like solar and wind—and releasing it when generation dips or demand spikes. This stabilises voltage and frequency across the grid, helping operators maintain a consistent and reliable power supply.
 




BESS also reduces the need for fossil-fuel-powered peaker plants, cutting emissions and contributing to a more sustainable, low-carbon energy system. In addition, by alleviating stress on aging grid infrastructure and enabling smarter energy management, BESS extends asset life and defers costly upgrades. Through fast response times and precision control, BESS supports key grid services like frequency regulation, load shifting, and black start capabilities, making it an essential component in the evolution toward a cleaner, more resilient, and efficient energy future.
