Electricity prices have risen sharply, but production continues.
Battery energy storage system.
BESS stores energy when it is available and delivers it when the business needs it most.
View the first operating scenarioWhen production demand exceeds the selected limit, BESS briefly supplies the missing power. Operations continue while grid demand remains more stable.
Compare a conventional outage with a system designed for backup operation. With the right technical design, BESS isolates selected operations from the grid and powers critical loads.
BESS can store energy during lower-price hours and use it during more expensive periods. The financial outcome depends on the price spread, efficiency, degradation and control strategy.
When solar PV produces more electricity than the business currently needs, BESS can store the surplus for later use. This increases self-consumption and reduces reliance on the grid.
When several vehicles plug in at the same time, charging can create a sharp demand peak. BESS can temporarily supply additional power and keep grid demand below the selected limit.
If short-term site demand exceeds a safe transformer loading threshold, BESS can supply part of the power locally and reduce the transformer load.
When demand temporarily exceeds generation, grid frequency falls. When generation exceeds demand, it rises. BESS can adjust its power output rapidly to reduce the deviation.
