Battery storage is a scalable technology that enables power system operators, utilities, commercial and residential clients to store energy for later use. A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical device that charges (or collects energy) from the grid or a power plant and then discharges that energy at a later time to provide electricity or other grid services when needed. 

A Pryzmatiq BESS can enhance a power systems flexibility and enable high levels of renewable energy integration safely while unlocking additional savings or revenue streams through arbitrage, firm capacity, transmission and distribution replacement and deferral, operating reserves, and black-start’s.

The scalability and turnkey simplicity of battery energy storage make these systems economically viable. For utility-scale customers, ESS’s can be utilized to address the demands for reserve capacity, peak shaving, frequency regulation, and voltage control to the grid. A case study example is below.
