The Role of BESS in the Clean Energy Transition
The global transition to renewables will be heavily reliant on battery energy storage systems (BESS) to overcome green energy's intermittent nature. While renewables like wind and solar have the potential to generate enough capacity to cover most of the world's energy needs, they can only be generated at 100% efficiency during certain times of the day and under optimal weather conditions. BESS refers to energy storage facilities or massive batteries that can charge up when clean energy is abundant and cheap, storing the energy for later use when demand spikes. Combining renewable sources of energy with battery storage is one…
