Technical FAQs 4

What are battery storage technologies?

Battery storage technologies allow electricity to be stored onsite and used on-demand. Onsite battery storage systems are used for demand reduction, energy price arbitrage, time shifting electricity from variable renewable resources, and instantaneous transitions for grid connection.

What is Onsite Energy?

Onsite energy refers to electric and thermal energy generation and storage technologies that are physically located at a facility and provide alternative energy services directly to the site.

Can a small business use a battery storage system?

Check out the battery storage guide for small businesses. Commercial battery storage systems can either be used on-grid or off-grid. On-grid applications offer functions such as peak demand charge reduction, renewable energy sources integration, and power backup during outages.

What is a containerized battery energy storage system?

Containerized Battery Energy Storage Systems, or BESS, are modular, scalable energy storage solutions that integrate batteries, PCS, BMS, EMS, and thermal management within a standard container. They store energy from renewables or the grid and discharge it when needed, enabling peak shaving, load shifting, and grid support.
