Battery energy storage system (BESS) is responsible for managing the flow of energy, utilizing intelligent and sophisticated control mechanisms. These systems guarantee the availability of power when it is needed most or when it makes the most economic sense. They consist of various components:
Using less energy (electricity and/or natural gas) to perform the same function without a drop in quality. Stands for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Stands for ‘Electric Vehicle’. An EV is a vehicle that is powered by energy stored in batteries rather than traditional fuel sources such as petrol or diesel.
The Big Solar Energy Glossary defines and simplifies some of the top solar words, industry acronyms and green energy terms to help you more easily navigate the sector and make more informed decisions. All terms and acronyms are defined in the context of solar energy.
A battery containing nickel and cadmium plates and an alkaline electrolyte. Refers to voltage used to describe batteries, modules, or systems. Material of non-biological origin. Non-biomass waste is usually a byproduct or a discarded product such as municipal solid waste like plastics, and tire-derived fuels.
