What are BESS?
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are advanced energy solutions that allow industries and businesses to store electricity when it’s cheapest or most sustainable, and use it when it’s most valuable. These systems are key enablers of energy flexibility, helping organizations reduce energy costs, decarbonize their operations, and ensure power reliability.
At Sidasa Engineering, we design and execute turnkey BESS projects, tailored to each client’s energy profile. What sets us apart is our in-house energy management software, developed specifically to maximize the performance and profitability of energy storage assets. Thanks to this integrated approach, our BESS solutions typically offer a payback period between 4 and 6 years.
Beyond just storing electricity, BESS opens the door to smarter energy strategies:
What we do with BESS
-
Arbitrage
We charge the battery when electricity prices are low (e.g. during off-peak or renewable surplus hours), and discharge when prices spike. This allows our clients to profit from price differentials in the energy market, both in electricity and, increasingly, in gas consumption optimization by shifting demand. -
Peak Shaving
By using the battery to reduce consumption during high-demand periods, we help clients avoid costly power peaks and minimize contracted power costs or penalty charges for exceeding thresholds. -
Energy Shifting
Through our EMS platform, we anticipate consumption and generation patterns (including PV or cogeneration) and shift energy use to the most favorable hours. This means making the most of self-generation or using the grid when it is most economical.
Integrated, global energy solutions
Our systems are designed with scalability and intelligence in mind, allowing industrial clients to not only store energy, but to actively manage and optimize their entire energy profile—electricity and gas included. From control and monitoring to algorithm-based decision-making, our platform ensures full control over energy flows.
Sidasa delivers integrated energy solutions to clients worldwide, with a strong focus on technological innovation, economic returns, and decarbonization.
