What are Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)?

  • BESS store hours' worth of energy which can be used and dispatched at the optimal time.
  • BESS can be used in a stationary, permanent application or for mobile and temporary power needs.
  • BESS helps deliver reliable energy, allowing customers to use the extra source of energy when capacity is strained.

BESS Products

We offer a range of stationary and mobile BESS products, storing hours' worth of additional energy. Whether you need a temporary power solution for bridging power or a permanent installation, we have the products for you.
 

PRODUCTS TO RENT

Power Grid Stabilization Heavy Duty (PGS HD) Mobile Module

Power Grid Stabilization Heavy Duty (PGS HD) Mobile Module

WHY YOU NEED IT:
Use PGS1260 HD for larger temporary power demands, regardless of application or location.

WHO CAN BENEFIT:
PGS1260 HD is the optimal choice for providing responsive mobile power supporting increased power demands in construction, charging, events, and utilities.
XES60

XES60

WHY YOU NEED IT:
The XES60 provides easy-to-transport and space-conscious power.

WHO CAN BENEFIT:

The XES60 is a popular choice for construction applications, providing mobile power across multiple sites. It is also ideal for charging battery-powered equipment. 
XES120

XES120

WHY YOU NEED IT:
The XES120 provides easy-to-transport and space-conscious power.

WHO CAN BENEFIT:
Due to its low noise output, the XES range is a good choice for events.  Customers looking to integrate renewable sources into their site could also consider a storage option.

PRODUCTS TO BUY

Power Grid Stabilization (PGS) Module

Power Grid Stabilization (PGS) Module

WHY YOU NEED IT:
The PGS is ideal for providing power when peaks or surges in demand occur.

WHO CAN BENEFIT:
Any application can benefit from the PGS, but utilities and mining applications can particularly benefit from the PGS in their solution. 
Energy Time Shift (ETS) Module

Energy Time Shift (ETS) Module

WHY YOU NEED IT:
The ETS is ideal for storing surplus energy generated by renewable sources, e.g. solar PV and then dispatching power when renewables can no longer provide the main source of power.

WHO CAN BENEFIT:
The ETS is typically used in hybrid energy solutions as it slows a smooth transition from intermittent renewable power sources to storage. It is ideal for municipalities, manufacturing, and industrial applications. 
Energy Capacity Expansion (ECE) Module

Energy Capacity Expansion (ECE) Module

WHY YOU NEED IT:
You can parallel an ECE unit with the ETS for extra storage and capacity.

WHO CAN BENEFIT:
Facilities that consume significant power like manufacturing, processing, healthcare, and education can benefit from this solution. 

How does BESS work?

  • To store energy, BESS products need to be charged. Multiple power sources can charge BESS, such as renewables (solar/wind), diesel or gas generators, and mains power.

  • BESS products can run solely on their own, powering a site with near-silent power.

  • In more common applications, BESS will be used in conjunction with a generator set and/or renewables. BESS can help maintain a generator’s engine health, preventing the generator set from running on a non-optimal load.  

When and Where You Need it: Dispatching BESS

of
Navigating the Energy Transition

When it's time to call upon your energy storage, whether it's to discharge your energy quickly for grid stability or a slower transition from renewable sources to battery, your BESS product can either manually or automatically dispatch power. You can even monitor energy market conditions and avoid energy peak charges. All of this is made possible with our Distributed Energy Resource Management (DERM) software, Cat AMP. Watch our Cat AMP demo to see how we can help you. 

Covering the Cost: Your Options

When it comes to installing a new energy solution, cost is naturally top of mind. There are many ways to pay for your BESS solution. Here are some of your main options:

  • An EaaS package: Opting for this removes the risk of owning or maintaining the power assets, alongside upfront costs. To learn more, visit our EaaS page.

  • Finance Options: We can help you finance your energy solution enabling you to pay for it over time, reducing upfront capital costs.

  • Rent Before You Buy: Often the best way to prove your cost and resiliency theories is to pilot the solution without the commitment of buying it. Installing a temporary power solution will help you prove the benefits of your new solution. 

 

Serving Diverse Industries

The systems feature flexible, scalable, and modular designs to support a broad range of distributed energy system applications and equipment charging stations. Equipped with grid-forming Cat Bi-Directional Energy Storage Inverters, the flexibility and robustness of Cat BESS modules make them ideal for a broad spectrum of applications.
