BALANCING ENERGY DEMAND
Compact substations with BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) are the future of electricity storage. These revolutionary systems play a key role in balancing energy demand and meeting the challenges of intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.
Today, we will explore the key technologies and components that make this possible.
- Batteries, particularly lithium-ion batteries, are the beating heart of a BESS system. With a 90% market dominance, lithium-ion batteries offer high efficiency and higher energy density. However, alternatives such as lead-acid, redox flow and sodium-sulphur batteries are gaining ground, providing customised solutions to meet different needs.
- Next to batteries, inverters (PCS – Power Conversion System) play a crucial role in the energy charging and discharging process. Inverters convert the continuous energy of the batteries into alternating energy, ready for use. This conversion is essential to ensure a reliable, high-quality flow of energy to the power system.
- MV/LV (Medium Voltage/Low Voltage) transformers act as bridges between renewable energy sources, the BESS storage system and the electricity grid. These components ensure proper energy distribution and a secure and reliable connection.
- In addition to this, compact substations with BESS include MV (Medium Voltage) switchgear, which offer precise control and optimised energy management. The substations, custom-designed to meet the specific needs of each plant, also house the EMS (Energy Management System), auxiliary transformers and LV (Low Voltage) switchboards.
CUSTOMISED ENCLOSURES FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE: AN OVERVIEW OF ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS
At CR Technology Systems, we are proud to contribute to the realisation of these revolutionary installations. Our cabinets are carefully designed, taking into account electrical, mechanical, dimensional and logistical aspects to ensure maximum performance. Each cabin is equipped with a Medium Voltage switchgear, an auxiliary cabin transformer, a Low Voltage switchgear and a range of support systems such as UPS, ventilation, lighting, fire protection and security.
Sustainability is at the core of our philosophy. BESS systems offer numerous benefits, including energy cost savings, energy efficiency and reduction of harmful emissions.
Contributing to the implementation of these solutions fills us with pride and drives us to develop ever more innovative projects for the future.
