Every lithium-based energy storage system needs a Battery Management System (BMS), which protects the battery by monitoring key parameters like SoC, SoH, voltage, temperature, and current. . The battery is a crucial component within the BESS; it stores the energy ready to be dispatched when needed. Racks can connect in series or parallel to meet the BESS voltage and current. . What are battery energy storage systems? The battery energy storage system's (BESS) essential function is to capture the energy from different sources and store it in rechargeable batteries for later use. Sometimes two is better than one. Coupling solar energy and storage technologies is one such case.
