BESS stands for Battery Energy Storage Systems, which is a technology for storing large amounts of energy using batteries such as lithium ion, a rechargeable battery that can store energy from various sources and discharge it when needed. A BESS system consists of one or more batteries and can be used to balance the grid, provide backup power, and improve grid stability.
ADVANTAGES OF BESS SYSTEM
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) often have high round-trip efficiency – BESS have very large capacities (up to several hundred MW) and can mobilize large capacity, maintained for a long time, meaning that the input energy during charging is almost completely recovered during discharging. Therefore, this is a potential solution, indispensable in the long term in the power system integrating renewable energy sources. There are 3 main advantages including:
Save energy costs
Energy storage systems provide businesses with a cost-effective solution to store excess output from renewable sources such as wind farms, rooftop solar systems, etc. Storing excess solar power output during lunchtime, off-peak hours and discharging it during peak hours in the morning and afternoon when electricity costs are high will help significantly reduce electricity costs in the long term.
Maximizing the potential of renewable energy
Deploying the BESS system integrated with renewable energy projects such as solar power plants and rooftop solar power systems helps stabilize the quality and power generation capacity of unstable renewable energy sources. The storage system will solve the problem of power system stability, helping businesses and factories ensure continuous power supply to customers.
Stabilize the power system
The BESS system acts as a backup power source, providing power during power outages or severe weather, reducing the need for costly distribution system upgrades or emergency generators. This in turn reduces carbon emissions when using backup systems such as diesel generators.
Not only is the implementation of a BESS system a major step forward for the business, but also the leader will create value in a new market as the process chuyển đổi năng lượng tăng tốc.
DCH’s BESS system is just the beginning of the Group’s long-term strategy for developing renewable energy and energy storage technology. With the investment in the BESS system, DCH Group is opening a new chapter for Vietnam’s energy industry – the project not only helps to enhance the capacity to store and distribute renewable energy but also lays the foundation for the sustainable development of the clean energy industry. In the context of the global energy transition, DCH is demonstrating its leadership in making Vietnam one of the countries with the most advanced and efficient renewable energy systems in the region.
