Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is emerging as an increasingly attractive option for commercial and industrial businesses, and it’s not surprising why. Many forecasts predict that over the next few decades, the costs of battery technologies will experience steep declines. The Storage Futures Study predicts that the majority of cost reductions will come from lower battery pack prices, driven by growing battery demand across multiple sectors and ongoing innovation. [1]
Battery chemistries are also expected to evolve in ways that reduce costs. Additionally, a growing and diversifying battery supply chain will lower input costs through learning effects. With battery prices forecasted to plummet, BESS is becoming a compelling investment for commercial and industrial facilities seeking to optimize energy management.
Benefits of BESS for Commercial and Industrial Businesses
A battery energy storage system offers a host of benefits that have made it very popular among commercial and industrial businesses. Key benefits include:
- Peak Shaving
BESS allows businesses to reduce peak power demand charges by smoothing loads and shaving peaks. This lowers electricity costs significantly.
- Demand Response
Participating in demand response programs [2] with a BESS helps businesses reduce costs for reducing loads during times of peak grid stress.
- Energy Backup
BESS provides backup power in case of outages to help businesses avoid downtime and productivity losses.
- Renewable Energy Integration
Battery energy storage system supports the adoption of on-site solar and wind energy by storing excess generation for later use, hence offsetting utility power purchases.
Applications of BESS for Commercial and Industrial Businesses
The diverse needs of different businesses mean that battery energy storage system has a wide range of useful applications, making it a highly versatile solution. Some common applications include:
- Commercial Buildings: BESS offers peak shaving and backup power benefits for hotels, offices, retail stores, etc.
- Data Centers: Ensuring reliable power uptime is critical, making the BESS well-suited for data centers.
- Manufacturing Facilities: Peak shaving and power quality applications help manufacturing facilities lower costs.
- Hospitals: Hospitals use BESS to ensure emergency power for critical care even during grid disruptions.
- Universities: Campuses benefit from the battery energy storage system for buildings, renewables integration, and research.
- Farms: On-farm solar + storage supports agricultural operations and energy resilience.
- Microgrids: BESS enables resilient and cost-effective power for remote community microgrids.
