Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are a key element of hybrid power devices to improve energy resiliency and flexibility
Vertiv, (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, introduces the solution Vertiv™ DynaFlex BESS, a battery energy storage system designed to enable energy autonomy and promote sustainability commitments in mission critical facilities. Available today in North America and EMEA regions, Vertiv DynaFlex BESS offers greater flexibility in the use of grid energy and makes a critical contribution to the implementation of a dynamic power architecture. The system allows organizations to take full advantage of the capabilities of hybrid power packs that include solar, wind, hydrogen fuel cells and other alternative energy sources.
The Vertiv DynaFlex BESS system's lithium-ion batteries provide large-scale power for long-lasting support, enabling continuous, smooth transitions between energy sources. When paired with the optional Vertiv™ DynaFlex EMS (Energy Management System), Vertiv DynaFlex BESS can implement sophisticated energy saving techniques, such as demand management and sharing or selling energy on the grid, which can lead to a reduction of energy consumption and utility costs and potentially generate profits for stakeholders.
According to the report Market Landscape: Battery Energy Storage Systems of Omdia, “Allowing ESS (Energy Storage Systems) batteries to interact with the intelligent electricity grid is an innovative way to contribute to the balance between energy demand and supply, the integration of renewable energy resources into the power system, the reduction or to the postponement of investments in network infrastructure and the consequent introduction of new income streams for stakeholders.”
“Sustainability has become an essential pillar of many organizations' growth processes, but concerns about operational resilience and the growing overload of the electricity grid have limited investment in the adoption of alternative energy sources,” said Peter Panfil, vice president, global power of Vertiv. “The Vertiv DynaFlex BESS system expands the range of energy management tools. It enables organizations to leverage the strengths of these new energy production assets and relegates the traditional service provider to a complementary role in a more dynamic, efficient and reliable mix of energy sources.”
Vertiv™ DynaFlex BESS is designed specifically for mission critical environments, such as commercial industrial infrastructures, luxury goods manufacturing facilities, data centers and other infrastructures where power remains critical. The power conversion system (PCS) is designed to support 2 millisecond output, virtually eliminating any delay when switching load between hybrid power sources. Paired with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), the reliable and highly efficient design of Vertiv's DynaFlex BESS reduces the risk of data center blackouts and diesel generator activation.
The lithium ion batteries of the Vertiv DynaFlex BESS system, UL9540A certified, are designed to minimize fire risks and to be positioned autonomously with a small footprint and are designed to guarantee maximum modularity.
