Exploring How Cables Power Battery Energy Storage Systems
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are one of the major stakeholders in the global energy transition goal. BESS is a rechargeable energy solution that enables electrical energy to be stored for use in the future. It reduces overreliance on grids and keeps their stability intact. It also helps in optimizing the energy usage and efficiency of various applications. In this blog, we learn about BESS facilities and the role of cables in establishing a reliable transmission setup. How BESS Facility Works BESS is usually integrated with on-grid and off-grid systems. Charging phase: When electricity from a grid or a solar panel flows into the system, batteries store this energy by converting it into chemical form. Discharging phase: When the source stops energy production, the BESS discharges and powers homes by converting the stored energy back into electrical energy. The main benefit of BESS is that energy stored during low-demand hours can be used when demand spikes. Applications ...
