Battery Energy Storage Market and its Drivers
A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is an electrochemical device that collects and stores energy from the grid or a power plant, and then discharges that energy at a later time to provide electricity or other grid services when needed. BESS is a fast-growing market. The installed capacity is expected to reach 1.4 GW by the end of 2020, which is a growth of 7X over 5 years, and exceed 2.5 GW by 2023.
Primary drivers for BESS market growth include:
  • The increase in need for system flexibility due to Wind and Solar projects deployment, along with rapid decrease in the cost of battery technology
  • The continuous innovation in BESS and policies to ramp up BESS deployment
  • Battery energy storage is one of several technology options that can enhance power system flexibility and enable high levels of renewable energy integration
Transformers for BESS Application
  • Installed base of over 15,000 transformers
  • Technical expertise in providing solutions to renewable power - wind, solar, and battery energy storage - across large and medium main power transformers and padmount
  • Leadership in design and manufacturing knowledge and experience for the specific requirements of BESS applications, including special considerations for:
  • Over-voltages
  • Inverter applications
  • Harmonics profile
  • Saturation, power factor
