Energy Storage Systems (ESS)
Our range of Battery storage systems can be used for a variety of applications in the power sector, from behind-the-meter applications to utility scale use cases.
Micro-Grid Solution
Utilizing Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) either independently or in conjunction with Solar PV significantly mitigates the reliance on diesel generators, resulting in a substantial reduction in air and noise pollution. Moreover, this integration leads to a lowered levelized cost of energy for customers.
During instances of grid unavailability or outages, a BESS system can establish an island grid, providing crucial reference voltage and frequency support for other sources, such as Solar PV, to continue functioning seamlessly
Renewable Integration
Renewable power generation is characterized by its natural intermittence and unpredictability. Consequently, effectively integrating renewables into the electricity system at a large scale necessitates the use of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The BESS rating required for integrating renewables can span from a few kilowatt-hours (kWh) to multiple megawatt-hours (MWh).
The output of a Solar PV plant can experience fluctuations of up to 80% within a second due to cloud cover. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are employed to rapidly charge and discharge batteries, effectively smoothing out the output of the Solar PV plant.
Moreover, BESS is integrated into Solar PV Plants to store surplus energy generated when there's an excess of solar power available. This stored energy is then released back into the system during periods when solar power is unavailable, such as during off-solar hours.
Grid Ancillary Solution
When connected to the grid, BESS operates through an algorithm designed to manage charging and discharging, maintaining grid frequency and voltage within specified ranges.
With the ability to swiftly react to fluctuations in utility load, BESS allows generators to operate at their most efficient levels without requiring idle capacity for spinning reserve.
The strategic use of relatively small storage capacities within BESS helps alleviate congestion, potentially deferring utility investments. Additionally, this practice reduces strain on infrastructure such as transformers and distribution networks, thus extending their lifespan.
