Why Data Centers & Hospitals Need Backup Power Generators
When the grid goes down, you want to be ready—especially if you have sensitive information or patients to protect. Some companies must ensure a steady flow of power to their facility. Data centers and large offices need backup power generators to avoid disruptions in syncing data and damage to electronic equipment. Hospitals need backup power […]
What Is a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)?
Supply and demand affect the distribution of electricity. Production rates vary; consumption rates vary. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) help balance these fluctuations. There are several energy storage types, including hydroelectric, compressed air, flywheel and thermal storage. One energy storage type is growing in popularity: batteries. Grid-scale battery storage systems collect and hold electricity for […]
The Growing Demand for Grid-Scale Battery Storage
Electricity powers our world. Energy demand continues to increase as we consume more electricity. The electric grid must be able to keep up. Grid-scale battery storage systems support the grid, offering more reliable access to electricity. Using battery storage balances the grid’s energy reserves. Large-scale energy storage efforts improve our ability to deliver a consistent […]
