But the inclusion of Battery Energy Storage System BESS into the landscape has proven to be a game-changer. The present day market has witnessed plummeting prices for solar PV technologies as well as battery storage technologies making it more feasible for deployment. Furthermore, the co-location of BESS with a Solar PV plant has added advantages over the other hybrid configurations, as it mainly sees a decrease in Levelized Cost of Energy by a great measure. The most distinguishing quality of electricity is that it is generated for any given moment its consumed, therefore it is extremely crucial for generation to equal to demand at any instance, any imbalance on either side causes serious problems to the grid. With increasing penetration of renewables in the energy mix, there is usually over generation during lower demand and lower generation during high demand (instantaneous mismatch), this causes excessive strain on the grid leading to instability, demanding more efficient solutions. With continuous technological developments in Energy Storage Systems (ESS), BESS has certainly witnessed a sharp rise in a short span of time and has truly benefitted from plummeting technology costs and policy changes, BESS has now become the most prolific of all ESS as it offers unparalleled advantages over the other alternatives.




As all but one, renewable energy sources are dependent on the forces of nature, storing the excess energy being generated instead of curtailing is a judicious approach to solving the grid and RES problems. BESS integration has become mainstream with renewable hybrids and is the most preferred choice for energy storage. With an unprecedented technological advent and adoption of digital transformation technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Industrial Internet of things in the industry, there is more certainty in predicting power generation and consumption, a BESS leverages this in arbitrage which has further led to development of newer financial models for the day-ahead-markets. To leverage the inclusion of a BESS for cost benefit requires a meticulous assessment of the whole project, as each project is unique in various aspects, to identify the core problems and provide solutions for it. SgurrEnergy has a team of storage specialists that can help identify the problems for each project and offer bespoke solutions that helps improve project economics. SgurrEnergy's experience in the domain and engagement with a global clientele positions it at a vantage point of being an effective solution provider.
