What are BESS? – Dr Rachel Connor (SAS Group Expert)
Battery Energy Storage Systems or BESS are the hoped for answer to the problem of variable renewable energy (VRE) generators such as wind farms or solar parks. Winter months (especially in Scotland) can cause problems with very high rainfall, high humidity or water penetration, potential flooding and snow melt on top of BESS containers.
