Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have become a cornerstone technology in the pursuit of sustainable and efficient energy solutions. This detailed guide offers an extensive exploration of BESS, beginning with the fundamentals of these systems and advancing to a thorough examination of their operational mechanisms.
The market for battery energy storage systems is growing rapidly. Here are the key questions for those who want to lead the way. With the next phase of Paris Agreement goals rapidly approaching, governments and organizations everywhere are looking to increase the adoption of renewable-energy sources.
These developments are propelling the market for battery energy storage systems (BESS). Battery storage is an essential enabler of renewable-energy generation, helping alternatives make a steady contribution to the world’s energy needs despite the inherently intermittent character of the underlying sources.
In May 2023, we launched our largest European battery-based energy storage project at the Antwerp platform in Belgium. With its 40 containers, the site will develop a capacity of 75 MWh, which is equivalent to the daily consumption of almost 10,000 homes.
The need for battery storage solutions is increasing in line with the stronger penetration of renewables. The transition to a low-carbon economy and higher electrification implies the deeper integration of renewable energies in the electricity mix. To ensure the security of supply, higher energy storage capacities are needed.
In April 2024, we announced the launch of a new battery-based project in the country, at our depot in Feluy, with a start-up expected at the end of 2025. It will have a power rating of 25 MW and capacity of 75 MWh, thanks to the forty “Intensium Max High Energy” lithium-ion containers supplied by Saft.
