What are Battery Energy Storage Systems (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.
