Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are devices that enable renewable energy sources, like solar energy, to be stored and then released when the power is needed most. Allied to this a BESS allows businesses to reduce peak power demand charges by smoothing loads and shaving peaks. This lowers electricity costs significantly and further reduces a site’s reliance on grid-supplied electricity with its attendant carbon-saving benefits.

The Battery Management System, otherwise known as BMS, is the intelligent component responsible for the management and control of your BESS. Once programmed, it is a fully automated process and will seamlessly monitor your energy flow, charging and discharging as required.

Benefits of Battery storage

Avoid peak-time tariffs

Create additional Revenue

Mitigate against 'Brown-out'

Facilitate EV Charging

How commercial Battery Storage can help your Business...

Investing in commercial battery storage has many benefits that can ultimately help your business not only save money but generate additional revenue.

Load Shifting

Load shifting achieves savings on electricity bills. This means a battery will supply power to your site at times of high tariff. Batteries can either take in surplus electricity from onsite renewable generation (such as a Solar PV Array) or from the grid during the night. This saved power is then available for use during peak-time tariff periods, such as in the morning and evening.

Generate additional Revenue

A battery providing frequency response services to the National Grid generates additional revenue. Frequency response is the seamless taking in and giving back of electricity to the grid. At pre-agreed times of the day, batteries can provide service to the national grid and in return, you will receive income for providing the service.

Uninterrupted power

Batteries are also suitable for use as uninterrupted power supplies. In areas where the National Grid network is weak and ‘brownouts’ occur, a battery can be very effective at mitigating the cost of lost production due to power failure.
