ENERGY MANAGEMENT & SUSTAINABILITY
compatibility and future-proof longevity work together to make it a worthwhile investment.
This is what will provide the renewable energy infrastructures we build today with the ability to keep going for as long as possible, making the most use of the materials used to build the product in the first place.
BESS investment: some considerations Although cost will be a significant factor, choosing the least expensive probably won’t be the best solution in the long run so taking the following into consideration will make all the difference to energy management and sustainability in the future.
• How will the product be serviced and supported? Loss of power may happen sometimes. Having support based locally is the key to safeguarding energy continuity - including having access to replacement parts. Waiting for them to be shipped from overseas is far from ideal on many levels.
• What safety standards are in place? There are a number of internationally recognised safety standards
that must be met. As a minimum, the product needs to meet the UL 1973 (standard testing for stationary applications) and IEC 62619 and/or IEC 62620 (which means that any secondary cells have been tested for industrial application.)
• What is the overall environmental impact? It’s important to look at the entire life cycle of the product, starting with: how much carbon was produced during the build process, what materials were used and where it will be shipped from. This is also where the expected lifespan comes into consideration - the longer it lasts, the better for the environment and budget.
It’s an exciting time for innovation in the energy storage industry as we work to come up with long-term solutions to secure reliable, steady access to renewably sourced energy 24/7. It is absolutely vital that we get it right first time, building the foundations of a robust renewable energy infrastructure that will keep pace with technological advances.
