Powering Progress with Safe and Efficient BESS
A BESS, or Battery Energy Storage System, is a technology that stores electrical energy using batteries for later use. It’s a key component in the energy landscape, particularly for integrating renewable energy sources like solar and wind. BESS systems in Sri Lanka help balance energy supply and demand, stabilize the grid, and improve the efficiency of renewable energy sources.
Today’s renewable energy storage solutions in Sri Lanka were inconceivable just a few years ago. Now, with decreasing costs alongside accelerating innovation in digital technologies, battery storage is not just an increasingly viable option, but an integral part of renewable energy solutions.
Safety, quality and performance are paramount when developing and operating BESS installations, whether they are standalone or integrated with renewable generating resources. Native Energy Solutions (The Company) services span the entire asset lifecycle to ensure projects run securely and efficiently.

Solar battery storage
BESS systems capture and store excess energy from renewable sources like solar or wind during periods of high production and release it when demand is high or renewable generation is low.
Balances Supply and Demand
By storing energy, BESS systems help match energy supply with demand, preventing wasted energy and ensuring a consistent power supply.
Stabilizes Grids
BESS can provide quick grid support services like frequency response and voltage stabilization, helping to maintain a stable and reliable power grid.
Improves Renewable Energy Efficiency
By storing and releasing energy, BESS helps maximize the use of renewable energy sources and improve their overall efficiency.
Reduces Reliance on Fossil Fuels
BESS can reduce the need for traditional fossil fuel-based power plants, especially peak-load plants, which are often less efficient and produce more emissions.
Provides Backup Power
BESS can provide backup power during outages, ensuring uninterrupted operation for critical facilities like data
Residential
Homeowners with solar panels can use BESS to store excess energy and use it during periods of low production, like nighttime or cloudy days.
Commercial
Businesses can use BESS to reduce energy costs, improve reliability, and reduce their carbon footprint.
Utility-Scale
Large-scale BESS systems can be used to store and release energy on a grid level, helping to stabilize the power grid and integrate renewable energy sources.
Applications
Home and business use
BESSs can provide backup power and reduce energy costs for homes and businesses.
Grid-scale storage
Large BESS systems can be used to store energy from renewable sources like solar and wind farms, improving their reliability and integration with the grid.
Microgrids
BESSs are a key component of microgrids, which are smaller, localized electrical grids that can operate independently of the main grid.
Electric vehicle charging
BESSs can be used to store energy for electric vehicle charging stations.
Benefits
Energy storage
BESSs allow for the use of renewable energy when it's not readily available.
Backup power
They can provide continuous power during outages or disruptions.
Grid stabilization
BESSs can help stabilize the electrical grid by providing frequency regulation and voltage support.
Cost reduction
They can help reduce energy costs by enabling energy storage during off-peak hours and using it during peak hours.
Increased reliability
BESSs can improve the reliability of energy supply, especially in areas where grid outages are common.
The benefits of battery storage
Energy storage is one of the most prominent elements in the ongoing energy transition. Indeed, its role is increasingly crucial in light of the large-scale deployment of intermittent and unpredictable renewable sources. Thanks to storage systems, the electricity produced by wind and solar power plants can be stored and then released at the desired times: it can thus be delivered to customers at all hours, regardless of the time of day or weather conditions.
In practice, storage is essential for enabling the penetration of new renewable sources into the energy system: it’s essential for reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and thus greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
The other major benefit of storage systems concerns the transmission grid. The stored electricity makes it possible to cope with any imbalances between supply and demand in the market: this makes the Grid more stable and greatly reduces the risk of service disruptions or blackouts.
Of all the storage systems, BESS has the advantage of affordability: thanks to the very rapid advances in technological innovation, especially in the field of materials science, and the spread of production for the automotive sector, battery prices are continuing to fall while their efficiency is constantly increasing.
Furthermore, Battery Energy Storage Systems, thanks to their modular design, offer great flexibility and scalability: additional battery blocks can be easily added to a plant that’s already in operation in order to increase its capacity.

What are the main applications?
The most natural users of Battery Energy Storage Systems are electricity companies with wind and solar power plants. In this case, the BESS are typically large: they are either built near major nodes in the transmission grid, or else they are installed directly at power generation plants.
There are many other possible applications, however, and they are increasingly widespread. Their growth is steady and is also linked to the prosumer (producer + consumer) phenomenon, i.e., self-producers of electricity: if, for example, private individuals have a solar panel on their home, a small BESS enables them to store the excess electricity produced during the day for use at night. It also provides them with a degree of autonomy, if there are blackouts, and the ability to disconnect from the Grid.
BESS has similar benefits for industrial and commercial companies, but with greater variety. A company, especially an energy-intensive one, can regulate the amounts of electricity drawn from the Grid. For example, it can decrease the amounts at times when prices are higher, and it can avoid consumption peaks. A company can also decide in advance to reduce the amounts at times of peak demand. This not only provides greater energy security, but it can also contribute to Grid stability while ensuring a financial advantage through the Demand Response mechanism.
BESS are also indispensable elements for microgrids, the small Grids that are used for producing and distributing energy locally (e.g., large factories, industrial districts, or residential complexes).
BESS are also functional for smart Grids for electricity distribution because they enable them to draw on a reserve, in case of immediate need.
