What does BESS mean in power?

In the context of power, a battery energy storage system is a major component required for the connection between renewable energy sources, the main grid and the end user.

BESS is a main factor that makes renewable energy more viable. Renewable energy sources, such as solar via photo-voltaic panels and wind turbines that gather energy from wind, are uncontrollable sources for power generation.

When these power sources produce excess energy, the BESS stores that excess for use at a later time.

Estimating the output requirement during the initial setup of your BESS can be challenging. Therefore, selecting an expandable option like the upcoming DEUTZ BESS, scheduled for release by the end of 2023, would be a suitable choice in this situation.

In addition, the DEUTZ BESS canopy is crafted from robust materials to ensure effective protection for your batteries. Its innovative design also allows maximum airflow and temperature control, thereby extending the battery’s lifespan.

When renewable sources are not producing any energy, for example because the sun is not shining, is obstructed by cloud cover or it is night-time, or there is no wind to turn the turbines, then the BESS is able to supply power to end users with what energy it has stored earlier.

BESS also play their part in supporting the main grid. By storing energy, the BESS is on standby ready to step in during any power outages when the main grid experiences faults or lines are down as a result of natural disasters. Power from the BESS provides backup, ensuring demand is met.

The main grid also benefits from the integration of BESS which help regulate frequency and voltage. Furthermore, BESS enables the integration of renewable energy sources, which help during times of peak demand for power. This balancing of energy production and distribution creates greater efficiencies and cost savings.

BESS enable power delivery to areas that either suffer from inefficient or interrupted supply from the main grid or have no access at all. Rural and remote communities are able to instal their own power infrastructure and gain autonomy over their energy needs. Commercial, military and mining operations gain more control over their power supply and demand by utilising BESS.

DEUTZ Technical Support Team and our authorised dealers can assist with setting up your first BESS, whether it is for residential or commercial settings.

Being able to design systems that are appropriate to requirements makes for better use of resources, enables access to renewable power sources, and they can be scaled as needed. They can be utilised for anything from a single dwelling to a whole community.

BESS support sustainable energy solutions, help deliver energy more efficiently and provide options for many and varied situations. They play a large role in the delivery of power.
