Battery Energy Storage Systems

A BESS uses batteries to store and distribute electricity, with dual power inputs for an external diesel generator, solar panels or the grid. This hybrid power solution provides reliable and continuous power for sites with limited or no power. By relying on renewable energy to charge the batteries, a BESS unit lowers fuel consumption, operating costs and

Yes, a BESS is an ideal solution for powering temporary site buildings, which are often one of the highest energy users on a project site. When combined with solar panels and a diesel generator in a hybrid power system, a BESS can provide a renewable and efficient energy solution, reducing generator run time, fuel costs and CO2 emissions while ensuring continuous power for site operations.

Hybrid power generation aims to reduce fuel consumption, resulting in operational cost savings for the life of your project. Hybrid technology, such as Battery Energy Storage Systems, typically have a higher capital cost than traditional fossil-fuel generation, so it does attract a hire premium. When evaluating hybrid against traditional power generation, we encourage you to consider the whole-of-life benefits. In most cases, the long-term operational savings outweigh the hire premium, making hybrid power a compelling alternative.
