6 FAQs about [BESS a new energy storage system in the Netherlands]

How does a Bess system work?

BESS systems store energy generated from renewable sources like solar and wind, releasing it during periods of high demand or when production dips. Thereby they ensure a steady and reliable energy supply.

What is a battery energy storage system (BESS)?

RWE has officially commissioned its first large-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in the Netherlands at the Eemshaven power station. With a total capacity of 35 megawatts (MW) and a storage capacity of 41 megawatt hours (MWh), the system will be crucial in balancing the power supply and demand within the Dutch electricity grid.

How many MWh can a Bess battery store?

The sophisticated BESS consists of 144 cutting-edge lithium-ion sealed cells -known as Fluence cubes - boasting a formidable capacity of 90MWh. In relative terms, this battery can store power sufficient to fulfill the energy demand of approximately 21,500 homes each day.

What does Bess stand for?

RWE has commissioned one of the largest Dutch battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the Netherlands at its Eemshaven power station. With a total capacity of 35 MW and a storage capacity of 41 MWh, the battery will be used to balance power supply and demand in the Dutch power grid.

Who makes the Bess battery?

Conducting the engineering and construction of the BESS is the multinational company, Equans Netherlands. Dutch energy player, Eneco, is tasked with tweaking the battery for optimal performance, enabling it to maintain the grid's balance without escalating local congestion.

Why is Bess important?

This shift from fossil fuels to renewables has seen solar energy surpass fossil gas as the leading energy source. The integration of BESS is critical in managing this transition, as it allows excess energy to be stored during peak production and released during high demand, addressing the challenges of intermittent renewable sources.
