UPS and BESS Systems: Definitions, Applications, and Key
This white paper explores two important technologies in this domain: Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
As power electronics, power distribution equipment, and controls mature, alongside the strengthening of the supply chain, the door is opening for the use of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to serve as both the instantaneous and continuous power sources.
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). And oftentimes not only a single generator and UPS, but multiple layers of redundant infrastructure. What is a UPS? A UPS is a device that detects a disturbance in the normal power source and automatically supplements the loss of power with the energy stored in the system.
A BESS can also be used for energy arbitrage: e.g., generating low- cost solar power and then selling the excess to the grid to offset night-time purchases. To understand the main characteristics of the BESS system, a general overview of the whole battery system is shown in Figure 1.
A UPS is a device that detects a disturbance in the normal power source and automatically supplements the loss of power with the energy stored in the system. What separates a UPS from other supplemental/standby systems is the speed at which the transition is made, which is generally less than 12 milliseconds.
