How do I plan a Bess installation?
When planning a BESS installation, the choice of location is critical. A suitable site must offer easy access for both construction and ongoing maintenance, without compromising safety or functionality. Accessibility to transportation routes is important for transporting the large equipment needed for installation.
Do I need a firewall or a barrier for a Bess installation?
In some cases, it may be necessary to install firewalls and barriers to contain a potential fire and limit its impact on surrounding areas. Given the scale of energy storage systems and the value of the equipment involved, security is another top concern for BESS installations.
Is Bess site layout easy or complicated?
BESS site layout can be easy or complicated, depending on the site location, the site owner’s preferences or requirements, and the BESS itself. Some of the main questions to consider for the site layout are: Does the BESS vendor have a minimum spacing requirement? Does the owner have a minimum spacing requirement?
Do kilowatt-hour limits apply if a Bess is a “dedicated use” building?
If the BESS is in a “dedicated use” building compliant with IFC .7.1, then the kilowatt-hour limits outlined in the table do not apply. This exception is beneficial, especially considering that 600 kWh of energy capacity is approximately equal to a small portable diesel generator’s belly tank capacity.
How does a Bess system work?
BESS systems usually involve short, high ampacity underground runs from the battery rack containers to the inverters or DC/DC converters. In order to avoid excessive cable derates and resulting in larger cables and costs for short underground runs, you will need to consider:
Does a Bess need a separate ups?
While the BESS can start up quickly, it is not instant and there will be a brief voltage supply disruption during startup. As a precaution, the system will require a separate UPS to power sensitive or critical components, potentially including the controller for the BESS.
