What is a battery energy storage system?

Battery energy storage system. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) can help address the challenge of intermittent renewable energy. Large scale deployment of this technology is hampered by perceived financial risks and lack of secured financial models.

Are battery energy storage systems a solution to energy problems?

While the intermittence feature of clean energy doesn’t allow us to have 24/7 energy, fluctuating features destabilize the grid. These scenarios are not ideal for the modern energy system. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are accepted as one of the key solutions to address these challenges.

What is battery energy storage system (BESS)?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are accepted as one of the key solutions to address these challenges. BESS can respond to real-time renewable energy fluctuation challenges through its fast response capability (congestion relief, frequency regulation, wholesale arbitrage, etc.).

Will a tax credit be available for energy storage projects?

However, with the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, tax credits are now available for standalone energy storage systems, and thus lenders may be willing to provide bridge capital that is underwritten based on the receipt of proceeds from an anticipated tax equity investment, similar to renewable energy projects.

What technology risks are associated with energy storage systems?

Technology Risks Lithium-ion batteries remain the most widespread technology used in energy storage systems, but energy storage systems also use hydrogen, compressed air, and other battery technologies. Project finance lenders view all of these newer technologies as having increased risk due to a lack of historical data.
