What is battery energy storage?

Battery energy storage (BESS) offer highly efficient and cost-effective energy storage solutions. BESS can be used to balance the electric grid, provide backup power and improve grid stability.

What is a battery energy storage system (BESS)?

With BESS, you can even generate new revenue streams as it allows energy arbitrage or directly reduce your electricity bill via peak shaving. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) from Siemens Energy are comprehensive and proven.

Are lithium-ion batteries a good energy storage solution?

There are different energy storage solutions available today, but lithium-ion batteries are currently the technology of choice due to their cost-effectiveness and high efficiency. Battery Energy Storage Systems, or BESS, are rechargeable batteries that can store energy from different sources and discharge it when needed.

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage is critical to decarbonizing the power system and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It's also essential to build resilient, reliable, and affordable electricity grids that can handle the variable nature of renewable energy sources like wind and solar.

How does a battery charging system work?

Customers can set an upper limit for charging and discharging power. During the charging period, the system prioritizes charging the battery first from PV, then from the power grid until the cut-off SOC is reached. After reaching the cut-off SOC, the battery will not discharge, and the photovoltaic output will also be normal.

What storage solutions does Siemens Energy offer?

Currently, Siemens Energy offers BlueVault™ Storage solution for the marine and offshore market and SIESTART for utilities and T&D network operators. For industrial deployment, we offer a customized battery storage solution to meet your unique business needs.
