Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)

Microgrids & Renewable Energy Systems

Cat® microgrids provide cost-effective power for on- and off-grid communities and commercial or industrial installations. By combining our advanced battery energy storage solutions with renewable energy from photovoltaic solar modules and traditional generation from utilities or generator sets, we can develop an energy system specifically designed for your needs. The Cat microgrid combines all sources into a single, controllable entity to optimize the flow of energy so it can be produced at the lowest total cost.

PGS modules provide a pre-engineered solution to energy storage needs. The modules integrate with diesel or gas generator sets, photovoltaic (PV), or other renewable systems to provide short duration power. The module holds closely regulated system voltage and frequency during periods of rapid load addition or removal, or during periods of intermittent output from the renewables.

PGS1260 HD mobile 672 kWh 1170 kW 1170 kW 1260 kW LEHE20050

 

ETS modules provide a pre-engineered solution to energy storage needs. The scalable system integrates with photovoltaic (PV) or other renewable systems to store energy from renewables, generator sets, or the grid for use at a later time. The ETS module contains the bi-directional power inverter with a fixed number of batteries and support equipment.

* - When paired with a single ECE1500.

** - When paired with multiple ECE1500 or any combination of ECE2000 or ECE2500.

The ECE modules provide increased energy capacity and discharge duration when connected for use with the ETS module.

Cat® Microgrid Systems – Rural Electrification

Approximately 1.2 billion people live without access to electricity, mostly in rural communities which are highly dispersed with low populations. This makes it cost prohibitive to bring in utility sources. Electricity for basic services – lights, fans, computers, television and phones – has a significant impact.
