Battery Energy Storage Systems: A Clean Energy Solution NY Needs -EQ

In Details–  Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are an increasingly important and increasingly discussed component of the renewable energy future needed to displace fossil fuels.

As we make the transition to wind, solar and hydroelectric power, an important element is how to store electricity when it’s generated but is not needed at that moment.

This is where BESS come into play. At its simplest, BESS stores electrical energy in large batteries for later use. BESS will store power generated during periods of high production (ie, clear skies, high winds) and release it when demand is high or generation is low.
