BESS (Battery Energy Storage System)
Bess are battery-based solutions that store energy efficiently for later use. This technology plays a key role in the transition to renewable energy, enabling better management of the variability inherent in solar power.
Essentially, BESS allows excess energy generated during periods of low demand to be stored and released when demand exceeds generation.
In addition, BESS helps stabilise the grid by providing grid support services such as frequency control, voltage regulation, and peak load management—improving the overall reliability of the electrical system.
From an economic standpoint, integrating a BESS into a solar plant can offer several benefits:
- A significant boost in profitability, as stored energy can be sold when market prices are higher, rather than during times of oversupply and low prices.
- Opportunities to diversify revenue through participation in grid services or by entering into capacity agreements.
- Reduced penalties for energy imbalances or deviations.
At Exiom, we provide full integration of BESS in hybrid renewable plants, thanks to our complete control over the project value chain:
- Preliminary design and sizing by our engineering teams.
- Manufacturing and supply of the battery system via our partner, Bexie Group.
- On-site installation carried out by our own teams.
- Commissioning and integration with the generation plant.
This approach maximises the overall performance of the renewable system, tailoring it to the specific needs of each project.
