Technical FAQs 4

Is Bess a viable alternative to diesel generators?

Data centers and other critical facilities require long-term backup power, sometimes for days at a time, so if we’re to have BESS as viable alternatives to diesel generators, then we must ensure their longevity.

Will large Bess replace diesel generators?

In December of that same year, Google announced that it would be using large BESS to replace the diesel generators at one of its data centers in Belgium. Meta also announced in September 2022 the formation of a consortium to measure the emissions benefits of using large BESS.

Can battery energy storage systems replace diesel generators?

Let’s now look at another option that’s currently available, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and why it can replace diesel generators, which are estimated to provide over 20 gigawatts of backup power globally in the data center industry today.

How does a Bess system work?

The BESS acts as a dynamic energy reservoir and power provider. It efficiently accumulates excess energy generated by the solar panels or surplus power produced by the generator. When the battery is full, the system discharges the stored energy to ensure a stable and continuous power supply.
