WEG, a global leader in energy and automation solutions, has launched a state-of-the-art Utility-Scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Europe, designed with a strong emphasis on safety, reliability, and sustainability.
This comprehensive energy storage solution addresses the growing need for secure and efficient energy systems, offering flexible integration for diverse applications while prioritising operational safety.
The WEG BESS is a modular, scalable system tailored for power generation plants, transmission and distribution centers, and renewable energy integrations.
It supports on-grid, off-grid, and microgrid operations, ensuring energy resilience while incorporating advanced safety mechanisms to protect both the system and its environment.
Central to the WEG BESS is its sophisticated Energy Management System (EMS), which provides real-time monitoring and control for seamless integration into existing electrical networks.
The system is engineered with robust safety features, including advanced HVAC systems for thermal regulation and state-of-the-art fire control mechanisms to mitigate risks and ensure safe operation across diverse conditions.
Enhancing safety
High charging and discharging speeds, high energy density, and low maintenance requirements further enhance its reliability and safety profile.
"Safety and reliability are at the core of our Utility-Scale BESS," said Marek Lukaszczyk, marketing manager at WEG. "This system not only meets the demand for sustainable energy but also ensures secure and dependable operation, safeguarding infrastructure and communities."
The WEG BESS is designed with environmental and operational safety in mind. It produces no pollution, integrates seamlessly with renewable energy sources, and offers an extended service life, minimising environmental impact and maintenance risks.
The system supports critical energy functions such as peak shaving, load leveling, voltage and frequency regulation, and spinning reserves, all while maintaining stringent safety standards.
Applications for the WEG BESS are extensive, with safety as a key focus. In power generation, it enhances energy quality through voltage and frequency regulation while ensuring stable and secure power supply.
For transmission and distribution, it reduces peak demand and balances loads, deferring costly infrastructure upgrades while maintaining operational safety.
The system’s versatility includes black start capabilities, power factor regulation, and energy shifting, enabling safe and adaptable energy management.
Built with precision-engineered components, including a bidirectional converter, battery bank, power transformer, and a custom-designed E-House, the WEG BESS is a fully customisable solution.
These components are designed to work in harmony, ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient performance tailored to each installation’s unique requirements.
With the launch of its Utility-Scale BESS, WEG reinforces its commitment to advancing energy sustainability while prioritising safety.
