How do switchgear and substation power systems work together?

Switchgear and substation power systems work together to deliver electric power and mitigate potential electrical faults downstream in the electrical generation process ensuring safe electrical power.

Why do substations need reliable energy storage solutions?

With the power utility landscape changing in terms of both architecture and methods of generation, the need for reliable energy storage solutions is growing. Substations are evolving and adapting to support new and varied generation sources including renewables.

Are compact substations the future of electricity storage?

Compact substations with BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) are the future of electricity storage. These revolutionary systems play a key role in balancing energy demand and meeting the challenges of intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. Today, we will explore the key technologies and components that make this possible.

How are substations changing?

Substations are evolving and adapting to support new and varied generation sources including not just coal and natural gas, but also nuclear, wind, solar and other renewable resources. This change is creating unique energy storage requirements that support the variable nature of the renewable generation sources.

What is a Bess substation?

In addition to this, compact substations with BESS include MV (Medium Voltage) switchgear, which offer precise control and optimised energy management. The substations, custom-designed to meet the specific needs of each plant, also house the EMS (Energy Management System), auxiliary transformers and LV (Low Voltage) switchboards.

Why should you choose a Bess substation?

These components ensure proper energy distribution and a secure and reliable connection. In addition to this, compact substations with BESS include MV (Medium Voltage) switchgear, which offer precise control and optimised energy management.
