BESS - Battery Energy Storage Systems
Rechargeable energy storage for on-demand power, while off-grid.
What is a Battery Energy Storage System?
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are integral parts of off-grid power systems, allowing you to store and use renewable energy. You can also store energy generated by a traditional diesel genset if needed.
Also known simply as battery storage, or energy storage systems, BESS is essentially a group of batteries used to store electrical energy for when it is needed most. They allow users to make more efficient use of energy generation, and can be scaled to provide reliable backup for larger operations if required.
The Benefits of using BESS
This battery storage technology makes it possible for even larger scale businesses, like industrial operations, mining, or agricultural projects, to achieve energy independence from the grid.
The appeal of converting to off-grid solutions in the first place is to increase energy security. Using solar panels alone can save money on electricity bills, but integrating a battery energy storage system removes the biggest limitation of solar generation: Using solar energy when the sun is not shining. Battery systems provide backup power from renewable energy sources.
Staying connected to the main grid can be expensive in remote areas. Even in metropolitan areas, energy bills have been on the rise for years.
Using battery storage systems to hold solar power generated on site can significantly reduce these costs, by removing grid dependency and reducing reliance on combustible fuels as a backup power source.
Economic motivations aside, installing a battery energy storage system alongside solar generation helps reduce consumption of non-sustainable fuel sources such as coal (from on-grid power) and fossil fuels (from diesel gensets).
There are many reasons why the traditional power grid might fail, and it rarely happens at a convenient time for business operations:
Bushfires
Extreme heat
Storms or other damaging forces
Maintenance
By becoming energy independent, you can eliminate the risk of grid failure. BESS can be installed in even the most remote areas for flexible and reliable release of generated energy, regardless of what is happening elsewhere.
Deutz Battery Energy Storage System Models
We use the Deutz BESS range for its durability, longevity, and cutting-edge battery technology. Deutz is an industry leader, building battery energy storage systems able to withstand harsh Australian conditions with a high-quality powder coated galvanised sheet metal canopy. This safeguards the inner components and diminishes noise pollution.
Deutz battery units are compact, portable, and able to be expanded thanks to their modular construction; each model has 144 kWh lithium ion batteries which are expandable in 36 kWh increments. When you want a rechargeable battery storage system that is built to last, and designed for maximum efficiency with minimum maintenance, you want something from the Deutz BESS range.
