Equipped with a responsive EMS, battery energy storage systems can analyze new information as it happens to maintain optimal performance throughout variable operating conditions or while integrating new components into an expanding system. FlexGen’s HybridOS software is a hardware-agnostic EMS platform for battery energy storage systems.
The most important component of a battery energy storage system is the battery itself, which stores electricity as potential chemical energy.
The rapid adoption of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is driven by the increasing complexity and instability in modern power systems, largely due to the growing reliance on renewable energy sources. As the global push for cleaner energy accelerates, renewable generation from wind, solar, and other natural sources continues to expand.
As the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid intensifies, the efficiency of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs), particularly the energy efficiency of the ubiquitous lithium-ion batteries they employ, is becoming a pivotal factor for energy storage management.
The ever-increasing demand for electricity can be met while balancing supply changes with the use of robust energy storage devices. Battery storage can help with frequency stability and control for short-term needs, and they can help with energy management or reserves for long-term needs.
Battery storage can help with frequency stability and control for short-term needs, and they can help with energy management or reserves for long-term needs. Storage can be employed in addition to primary generation since it allows for the production of energy during off-peak hours, which can then be stored as reserve power.
