SOCOMEC: The Ideal Scalable Outdoor Energy Storage System (BESS)

As energy demands grow, the need for reliable and efficient solutions is greater than ever. Socomec's modular outdoor energy storage system offers a versatile solution, tailored to meet a range of project demands, from renewable energy optimization to backup power and EV charging support. Designed for both on-grid and off-grid applications, Socomec's Energy Storage system brings flexibility, reliability, and economic benefits to a variety of energy projects. 

What is a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)?

A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a setup that stores electricity for later use. BESS are made up of advanced power conversion technologies, intelligent management systems, and lithium batteries that store energy during periods of low demand or excess production. This energy can then be released when demand peaks and surpasses supply. BESS are vital in improving energy reliability, flexibility, efficiency, and sustainability across multiple sectors.

Why are BESS important?

  • Saving on Electricity Bills: BESS helps reduce electricity costs by storing energy during off-peak hours when rates are lower and discharging it during peak demand times. This lowers demand charges and optimizes energy expenses, improving overall cost efficiency.
  • Generating New Revenue Streams: BESS offers businesses opportunities to generate additional revenue. By participating in demand response, frequency regulation, and voltage regulation programs, or selling excess energy back to the grid, businesses can take advantage of fluctuating energy prices and boost their financial performance.
  • Ensuring Electricity Supply Continuity with Backup Power: BESS provides reliable backup power during outages, ensuring continuous electricity supply. This is critical for businesses, preventing downtime, protecting critical operations, and maintaining productivity during power disruptions.

What is Socomec's scalable outdoor energy storage system?

The SUNSYS HES L is a modular, scalable energy storage system built to adapt to the diverse requirements of commercial and industrial projects. Available in a variety of configurations, it allows for precise system sizing to match each project’s unique needs.
