BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) help manage and distribute energy throughout the day, also when the sun isn’t shining. The potential of the sun is enormous when it comes to producing energy, but solar energy is not always produced when the energy demand is at its highest. Combining BESS and solar energy production is an ideal way to match power production and demand. BESS supports the electricity grid by making electricity available when the grid operators need it and improve its flexibility and stability in two key ways.
Firstly, BESS stores excess solar energy during the day and releases it during periods with low supply and high demand. This allows solar energy to be used even when the sun isn’t shining.
Secondly, during the day, while solar PV is generating electricity, BESS interacts with the electricity market to help stabilize the system and meet specific needs. Batteries support the electricity grid by absorbing surplus energy and releasing it when demand increases. This can prevent the grid overloading and ensure a more stable energy supply.
Integrating BESS with solar energy is an ideal renewable energy solution that benefits society, the energy market, grid operators and energy producers, while contributing to the foundation of a sustainable energy system that meets the growing demand for renewable energy.
