A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical device that charges (or collects energy) from the grid or a power plant and then discharges that energy at a later time to provide electricity or other grid services when needed.
For example, a battery with 1 MW of power capacity and 4 MWh of usable energy capacity will have a storage duration of four hours. Cycle life/lifetime is the amount of time or cycles a battery storage system can provide regular charging and discharging before failure or significant degradation.
Currently, the market primarily relies on lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) batteries. Shenzhen GSL Energy Co., Ltd. was established in 2011, specializing in residential, commercial, and industrial LiFePO₄ energy storage systems. GSL ENERGY offers certified LiFePO₄ storage energy batteries for homes, businesses, and utilities.
Battery storage is a technology that enables power system operators and utilities to store energy for later use.
