What does BESS mean?

Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a system that stores electrical energy in rechargeable batteries for later use. It is widely used to support grid stability, integrate renewable energy sources, and provide backup power in case of outages.
BESS are essentially large rechargeable batteries that store energy from sources like solar panels, wind turbines, or the electrical grid. The stored energy can be discharged when needed to balance supply and demand, and enhance grid reliability.
BESS enhances energy management by storing excess electricity during low demand and providing it during high demand. It also provides grid stability, frequency regulation, and support services to improve the reliability and efficiency of electrical grids.
