Why consider battery energy storage systems?
At Aggreko, we see battery energy storage systems (BESS) as a crucial technology for businesses to achieve both sustainability and growth.
That's why we've significantly increased our global investment in BESS to approximately US$200 million. This allows us to provide more industries with access to the latest battery technology, helping them reach their net zero goals.
Battery energy storage systems can enhance energy reliability, reduce emissions and lower fuel costs, contributing to a more resilient, greener and efficient operation.
Here are 10 reasons why you should consider battery energy storage for your project or facility:
Peak shaving
Increased efficiency/generator rightsizing
Stage V generators
Noise and emission reduction
Fuel cost savings
Efficient power distribution
Regulating frequency and voltage
Energy resilience and off-gird locations
Increasing uptime
Renewable optimisation
Conclusion
Battery storage offers a wide range of benefits, such as efficient power distribution, providing additional capacity, and compliance with noise and emission regulations. It also provides solutions for remote and off-grid areas, and extends servicing intervals, leading to increased uptime and fewer disruptions.
While Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) offer numerous advantages, finding the right BESS or BESS and generator combination for your project can be complex. Aggreko conducts an in-depth analysis of on-site requirements to devise the right solution. With our expertise we can help you unlock the wealth for benefits associated with BESS.
