What does a battery energy storage system integrator do?

Image: RWE. The battery energy storage system (BESS) industry is changing rapidly as the market grows. At the heart of what is becoming a crowded and competitive market is the role of the system integrator: putting together the components and technologies that bring BESS projects to life.

What is a container energy storage system?

Container energy storage systems are typically equipped with advanced battery technology, such as lithium-ion batteries. These batteries offer high energy density, long lifespan, and exceptional efficiency, making them well-suited for large-scale energy storage applications. 3. Integrated Systems

What makes a good storage integrator?

The integrator should have strong supply chain networks and strategies to cater for your immediate and future storage plans and to internalize any externality. The integrator should have the financial capability to back-up the solution and accompany you in the long run. By Ramy Shahat and Juan Ceballos, Trina Storage

Do system integrators have an advantage?

System integrators have deep knowledge of the hardware required for BESS projects, which in turns makes them well qualified to know what sort of software will drive that hardware.

What does a system integrator do?

System integrators are diving deeper into understanding what is required of them within warranties and what their customers — often project developers — are looking for. The market is better trying to understand the whole after sales service piece, from operations and maintenance (O&M), to warranties. This is still a very “tailored” offering.

Do battery OEMs need a system integration system?

For battery OEMs to take a significant share of the system integration market, they will need to develop their software, their O&M capabilities and ability to offer long-term whole system warranties, manage the asset and be able to integrate the PCS.
