Explore how Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) store energy, support solar power, and reduce costs. Learn benefits, types, and applications for a sustainable future.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are a key element in the energy transition, with several fields of application and significant benefits for the economy, society, and the environment.
In this context, energy storage can help enhance reliability. Deployed together with variable renewable energy like wind and solar, it can help displace costly and polluting fossil fuel-generated electricity, while increasing security of supply. Storage can also help defer or avoid the construction of new grid infrastructure.
Battery storage plants offer several advantages. They require no fuel deliveries, are compact, and have no chimneys or large cooling systems, allowing for rapid installation and placement even within urban areas, close to customer load.
Batteries and an electronic control system are at the heart of how stationary energy storage systems work. Batteries are where the energy is stored within the system in the form of chemical energy, and lithium is the most popular element used to store the chemical energy within batteries.
Mainstreaming energy storage systems in the developing world will be a game changer. They will accelerate much wider access to electricity, while also enabling much greater use of renewable energy, so helping the world to meet its net zero, decarbonization targets.
In addition to new storage technologies, energy storage systems need an enabling environment that facilitates their financing and implementation, which requires broad support from many stakeholders.
These are characterized by poor security of supply, driven by a combination of insufficient, unreliable and inflexible generation capacity, underdeveloped or non-existent grid infrastructure, a lack of adequate monitoring and control equipment, and a lack of maintenance. In this context, energy storage can help enhance reliability.
