Battery energy storage systems, or BESS, are positioned to play a significant role in the global shift to more sustainable energy practices. These systems, which are also known as electrochemical energy systems, typically consist of groups of batteries used to store excess electricity from renewable energy sources, like wind or solar power plants. The stored energy can then be made available on demand.
The ability to access energy whenever needed increases weather resilience for these renewable sources, allowing providers to keep up with growing electricity demand. Additionally, by growing the amount of renewable sources in the energy system, battery storage has the potential to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions.
Companies specializing in battery energy storage system technology may manufacture the scalable, modular systems for utility providers or design the software required for implementing these systems into existing commercial operations. Read on for more information on companies leveraging BESS technology to fuel the future with sustainable energy.
