What is a battery energy storage system?

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.

What is an energy base?

The Energy Base allows the power (the rate of electricity flow) to be decoupled from the capacity (the total amount of energy held). This, combined with unlimited cycling and rapid response time, means that the performance of each Energy Base can be tailored to meet individual customer needs.

What is the energy base platform?

The Energy Base platform is designed to deliver gigawatts of long-duration energy storage in harmony with the new energy landscape. The Energy Base’s chemistry – mostly iron, salt and water – makes this solution one of the easiest to deploy and maintain. Fast and easy permitting.

Why should you choose ESS for Your Energy BASE project?

ESS has worked closely with leading engineering firms to develop standard, cost-effective design parameters that enable deployment of gigawatt-scale storage. Energy Base projects can be customized to minimize visual impact and deliver up to 300 MWh/acre energy density.

How does energy base work?

Energy Base projects can be customized to minimize visual impact and deliver up to 300 MWh/acre energy density. The Energy Base platform is designed to deliver gigawatts of long-duration energy storage in harmony with the new energy landscape.

What makes ESS Energy base unique?

Each Energy Base project leverages ESS’ proven core technologies to deliver the power, energy and layout customers need. Its modular architecture and the inherent safety of ESS iron flow technology enable compliance with safety regulations and community guidelines, providing peace of mind for all stakeholders involved.
