 Introduction to Energy Storage Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
What is BESS?
What are Battery Energy Storage Systems
BESS sample picture
(BESS)?
A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), is the
industry’s generic reference name for a collection of
equipment that comprise a system to store energy in
batteries and use the energy later when it is
advantageous.
A typical system is comprised of batteries, a battery
management system, an inverter, switchgear,
transformer, protection and a control system.
Often renewable energy sources are combined with a
BESS to store the renewable energy during peak
production time and then the energy is used when it is
needed.

demand on the grid. The stored energy is used to reduce the Peak shaving installations are often owned by the electricity
load on the grid while continuing to meet customer demands. consumer, rather than by the utility. The goal is to avoid
In addition, energy shifting can be used to arbitrage electricity demand charges (power fees) and the installation of capacity

Applications and benefits Applications and benefits
Frequency regulation, reserve and response Capacity firming
The energy storage system is charged or discharged in The variable, intermittent power output from a renewable power
response to an increase or decrease, respectively, of grid plant, such as wind or solar, can be maintained at a committed
frequency. This approach to frequency regulation (fast level for a period of time. The energy storage system smooths
frequency response) is a particularly attractive option due to the output and controls the ramp rate (MW/min or kW/min) to
its rapid response time and emission-free operation. eliminate rapid voltage and power swings on the electrical grid.

Benefits Benefits
• Generate revenue through participation in wholesale • Facilitate integration of renewables
energy markets • Increase distributed generation
• Facilitate integration of renewables • Provide power quality support
• Ensure reliable operation of the grid
• Provide power quality support

Applications and benefits
Spinning reserve
Energy storage systems can respond within milliseconds and
supply power to maintain network continuity while the back-up
generator is started and brought online. This enables
generators to work at optimum power output, without the need
to keep idle capacity for spinning reserves. This eliminates the
need to have back-up generators running idle. To provide
effective spinning reserve, the Energy Storage is maintained at
a level of charge ready to respond to a power failure.

Benefits
• Minimizes the impacts from power outages
• Reduces need for generation sources to be online and
ready to use (lower O&M costs as well as emissions)
• Acts as a back-up power source
