Standalone BESS solutions can be dynamically sized to suit any long-duration storage requirement, typically sized from 100kW/ 400kWh to 40MW/ 160MWh. Standalone solutions are usually made up of multiple containerised units and can stand in any convenient location within, or even outside of, a customer’s existing plant.
Standalone BESS’s are charged using grid energy, whenever it is available, although ideally during off-peak periods, when electricity prices are low. They are then discharged either when power is not available from the grid, such as power cuts or outages, or during peak charge periods to take advantage of the economics of load shifting.
Existing standalone systems can then be moved to an alternative location (or locations). A BESS system for commercial and industrial applications is typically connected behind the meter and aimed at reducing a customer’s electricity bill through demand side management, load shifting and renewables integration.
