What is a Bess integrator?

Simplifying BESS deployments by mastering their associated risks With the introduction of Battery Energy Storage Systems ‘BESS’, a new role has been created on the value chain. It is the role of a BESS integrator. The role of an integrator can be misunderstood at times or blended with other roles at other times.

Why should a Bess integrator accompany a client?

Due to battery and components degradation, the system performance changes along the project lifetime, and the integrator should accompany the Client over the entire project lifetime. This implies committing themselves in the long-term to assure that (i) the BESS is well maintained and that (ii) the warranties are respected.

How does a Bess work?

A BESS is typically comprised of battery cells arranged into modules. These modules are connected into strings to achieve the desired DC voltage. The strings are often described as racks where the modules are installed. The collected DC outputs from the racks are routed into a 4-quadrant inverter called a Power Conversions System (PCS).

What makes a good system integrator?

Finding the right service providers to integrate, commission, and deliver field services across all project stages is therefore critical. System integrators that are responsible not only for the initial integration but also for years of project maintenance, offer the most effective and efficient solution.

What does Bess stand for?

The Group reaches a new milestone with the installation of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for a total of 45 MW in Finland and Sweden, countries which continue to invest in renewable energy...

Why should a Bess system be commissioned on-site?

The commissioning of the entire system on-site warrants the proper functioning of the BESS as a whole making sure that what was designed is delivered, i.e. making sure that the power, the capacity, the RTE, the reaction time is in line with the expectations.
