For projects tackling grid constraints, the project cost should be compared to the cost of grid upgrades. If the BESS is being used to tackle a constraint in the transmission or distribution system, the economic benefit is related to the avoidance or the deferral of the investment in the related grid infrastructure.

What is a Bess system?

• This is in effect the same use case as described above, where a BESS system is used to meet demand peaks at the end of an otherwise overloaded line or, conversely, to store generated energy from a supply-side resource that is located behind a grid constraint.

The BESS project will have a finite duration, so may not provide the same level of security of supply. In some cases, the need for other dispatchable capacity may not be reduced, although the utilization of some capacity may be reduced.

What are the requirements for a Bess project?

DC/AC power conversion units that connect the battery to the grid and coupling requirements for hybrid projects. Electro-mechanical works to be conducted to fully connect the BESS. Electrical distribution/transmission infrastructure required to connect the BESS to the grid substation. Civil and structural works required to implement the project.

Who is implementing Bess?

BESS is experiencing a flourishing implementation thorough multiple stakeholders ranging from private end-users, through distribution and transmission system operators to large power plant operators.
