Aggreko launches new BESS technology

Aggreko has introduced two new mid-size Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to support regional businesses in their shift towards sustainable energy solutions.

These new plug-and-play systems, available in 500 KW and 250 KW capacities, are designed to meet a broad spectrum of energy storage needs for industrial and commercial applications. They optimise overall system performance, cut operational costs, and significantly lower carbon emissions.

The mid-size BESS units are engineered to deliver reliable power in demanding conditions, providing versatility, efficiency, and dependability. These batteries can operate independently, as part of a hybrid setup with a generator, or in combination with additional BESS units. They are particularly well-suited for renewable energy projects across various sectors, including events, construction, petrochemicals, utilities, data centres, and mining.

These systems are eco-friendly, helping companies comply with emission standards while their rapid installation and commissioning reduce generator usage and fuel consumption, leading to cost savings and greater operational independence. Aggreko's renowned customer support, including remote monitoring, ensures that the units deliver consistent and uninterrupted service.

Adam Read, head of sales - Middle East, Aggreko, stated, “We are excited to introduce our new mid-sized Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to the regional market. They can be used as a standalone power source or in combination with mobile solar panels, wind or generators. To meet the constantly evolving energy demands of businesses, our BESS units are made scalable to match changing needs. A single unit can be easily combined into an integrated energy storage system to deliver the power and energy capacity required for any business. Incorporating batteries can be a significant step toward sustainability for any company. Additionally, battery-based solutions can provide reliable emission-free energy for specific processes while reducing fuel costs.”

The mid-size BESS units also help manage fluctuating loads by storing surplus energy for future use, improving reliability, and eliminating low-load periods. Ready for immediate deployment, these systems include all essential components like batteries, inverters, HVAC, and fire protection. Both units feature an ECO controller, which simplifies the monitoring and control of all integrated systems. With zero emissions, no noise, and minimal maintenance requirements, these systems enable businesses to reduce their environmental impact.
