Technical FAQs 4

How much power can a Bess generate?

The BESS can bid 30 MW and 119 MWh of its capacity directly into the market for energy arbitrage, while the rest is withheld for maintaining grid frequency during unexpected outages until other, slower generators can be brought online (AEMO 2018).

How does a BES generator work?

When a diesel generator or another energy source produces electricity, a portion of that energy is converted into electrical energy and stored in the BES unit. The stored energy can then be programmed to release when needed, providing a seamless and reliable power supply without relying entirely on fuel-driven generators.

What is a battery energy storage system (BESS)?

Overview Battery energy storage systems (BESS) use rechargeable battery technology, normally lithium ion (Li-ion) to store energy. The energy is stored in chemical form and converted into electricity to meet electrical demand.

Why should you use a Bess generator?

Conversely, when the frequency rises (due to excess supply), BESS can absorb the surplus energy, helping to maintain balance. One of the key advantages of BESS in regulation is its ability to perform these adjustments almost instantaneously, far faster than traditional mechanical generators.
