A Containerised Battery Energy Storage Solution (BESS) is a compact, modular, and fully integrated system that enables efficient energy storage and management, typically used in renewable energy applications, grid balancing, and off-grid power supply.
[pdf] The Electricity Authority Te Mana Hiko has published a draft two-year roadmap that sets out our work to support investment in battery energy storage systems (BESS). BESS will become increasingly important in the future as New Zealand’s power system relies on more intermittent and variable generation.
[pdf] The BESS comprises 27 containers, each of 2.5MWh capacity. The containers were designed and assembled by TotalEnergies’ battery subsidiary Saft. According to TotalEnergies, the project is built to ensure enough supply of electricity in the national grid, particularly during peak winter periods.
