Battery Energy Storage Systems in California
What is a battery energy storage system (BESS)? A battery energy storage system (BESS) is a type of energy infrastructure that plays a critical role
These systems consist of a battery bank, power conversion equipment, and control systems that work together to store energy from various sources such as solar panels, wind turbines, or the grid. BESS can be used for a variety of applications, including peak shaving, load shifting, and backup power.
BESS can help reduce your energy costs by allowing you to store energy during times of low demand and use it during times of high demand. BESS can help stabilize the grid by providing a source of energy during periods of high demand or low generation.
The size of the land required for a BESS project depends on the capacity of the battery system. Factors such as battery technology, energy density, and project scale will determine the necessary land area. Additionally, the site's topography, soil conditions, and accessibility should be assessed to ensure optimal project feasibility.
As BESS projects continue to grow in California, safety remains a top priority for the state.
