Cat® Battery Energy Storage Solutions
Adding extra power capacity when and where you need it most.
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 as a temporary solution for bridging power applications.
- BESS helps deliver reliable energy, allowing customers to use the extra source of energy when capacity is strained.
We offer a range of mobile BESS products, storing hours' worth of additional energy.
PRODUCTS TO RENT OR BUY
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 generator sets, 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 engine health, preventing the generator set from running on a non-optimal load.
When and Where You Need it: Dispatching BESS
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:
- 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.
