BESS Benefits
BESS can store energy from various sources such as the electrical grid and renewables. By storing energy from the grid during off-peak periods when electricity rates are lower, BESS can discharge this stored energy back into the grid during peak periods when demand is higher. Battery energy storage systems’ benefits include:
- Energy cost savings through load shifting and peak demand reduction
- Enhanced grid reliability and stability
- Integration of renewable energy sources into the grid
- Backup power during outages or emergencies
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
