Storing Batteries – BESS Units
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) or battery containers are used to store power generated by renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. BESS units play a crucial role in global carbon reduction. The UK has the largest installed offshore wind capacity in the world. It’s the strategic implementation of BESS units that allows utilities to capture, store, and deploy this clean energy efficiently.
The Eldapoint Advantage: delivering bespoke BESS enclosures
Specialising in the transformation of industrial steel shipping containers, Eldapoint Group stands out in delivering bespoke, durable BESS enclosures. Our converted containers offer unparalleled customisation and adaptability for a range of energy storage needs. The enclosures are designed for optimal performance and safety, with a key focus on:
BESS Outer Enclosure Shell: The outermost layer, made of steel to provide robust physical protection against the outdoor environment.
Wall Insulation: Layers of insulation materials like foam or rockwool minimise heat transfer and maintain the optimal temperature within the enclosure.
Fire Suppression System: Fixed or mobile fire suppression systems are built-in to extinguish any potential fires quickly.
Climate Control System: Air conditioning, venting, heating units and temperature control mechanisms maintain the ideal temperature range for optimal battery performance.
Monitoring and Control Systems: Sensors and alarms monitor humidity, temperature, smoke, and other critical parameters, alerting operators to potential issues.
Access Control System: Secure entry points and access control systems stop unauthorised access.
