Battery Energy Storage System: What is it and How it works?

With the development of renewable energy, the battery energy storage system (BESS) has gradually become one of the most crucial technique, which is frequently used in residential and industrial businesses.

Before you deciding to install the battery energy storage system, you may want to know about the followings.

Let is start with what is the battery energy storage system(BESS)?

BESS means the Battery Energy Storage System installed by the Supplier in connection with the Program and includes the battery, inverter, BESS controller and the communication interface to enable the remote control to facilitate management of the charge and discharge cycles of the battery, according to LawInsider.

How battery energy storage (BESS) works?

The basic function of a battery energy storage system is very simple. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are used to receive and store power, and then transmit it under appropriate circumstances to power a variety of products.

Taking the solar BESS facility as an example, the process is as follows:

Solar panels generate renewable energy.

They deliver the necessary power to consumers.

If there is excess power, it will be sent to the BESS battery for storage.

When solar power is not being generated (e.g. at night), stored electricity is used.

This process is then repeated in an automated fashion as needed.

In addition to understanding the operating principle of BESS equipment, the technology it uses is also quite advanced. Home and large commercial devices operate on the same principle, using automated battery algorithms to manage power production and intelligent control systems to determine how stored power is used.

Adopt advanced systems and control systems to use stored electricity during peak electricity consumption periods with the highest rates. This is important because most buildings still need mains electricity at some point as they are not 100% self-sufficient with renewable energy. And when the battery is fully charged, the advanced BESS device can in turn sell excess power back to the power company.

Benefits of battery energy storage system (BESS)

The benefits of BESS technology are numerous and obvious. It can be integrated into green renewable energy projects around the world and be a driver of significant progress at the community and end-user levels. Thanks to the opportunity for scalability, the network of battery storage systems is poised to be a catalyst for sustainable success in a new era of energy consumption.

As the population grows and becomes more connected, the demand for energy continues to soar. This has wreaked havoc on the environment, but switching to renewable energy can help address supply and demand issues while slowing environmental damage.

The goal of the BESS network is to eliminate the need for fossil fuel power plants and replace their backup power supplies with electricity stored by wind, solar and hydro technologies. The benefits of large-scale integration of battery energy storage systems include, but are not limited to;

Assisting local, national and global efforts to achieve net zero carbon emission status.

When natural energy is facing recession, the use of power storage devices to achieve continuous flow of renewable energy.

Save money by using reserve energy during expensive energy peak times.

Wholesale excess power resources back to power companies, gaining additional financial and environmental benefits.

Provides reliable backup power that is not dependent on the grid because power is stored in batteries.

Battery energy storage systems offer a variety of feasible solutions to many problems in regenerative technology and fully exploit the full potential of natural energy sources. The advantages in terms of operational use and reliability are even more impressive.

The adoption of BESS technology is therefore extremely important both at the national and global levels to protect the environment and alleviate pressures from growing energy demand. For businesses and homes, financial rewards further drive the benefits of green living. Having a battery storage system can also give you peace of mind during times when political situations can threaten traditional energy supplies.

Application for commercial and industrial

Peak shaving can avoid the threat of short-term peak power consumption.

Disconnect from the grid whenever necessary.

Ensure a smooth transition between renewable energy availability/non-use.

When the cost is high, use load shifting to focus on storing power consumption.

Take advantage of demand response programs to save costs and develop greener habits.
