Can battery energy storage systems replace diesel generators?

Let’s now look at another option that’s currently available, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and why it can replace diesel generators, which are estimated to provide over 20 gigawatts of backup power globally in the data center industry today.

How to improve battery energy storage system valuation for diesel-based power systems?

To improve battery energy storage system valuation for diesel-based power systems, integration analysis must be holistic and go beyond fuel savings to capture every value stream possible.

Can a battery replace an aged-out generator?

Additionally, in systems utilizing multiple generator configurations, a battery can be a good alternative to replacing an aged-out generator in some cases given the benefits that they can bring for could be found for the rest of the system.

Is Bess a viable alternative to diesel generators?

Data centers and other critical facilities require long-term backup power, sometimes for days at a time, so if we’re to have BESS as viable alternatives to diesel generators, then we must ensure their longevity.

Should a diesel generation facility be based on cost?

Assumptions also need to be made with regard to costs. A major source of risk in the future for a diesel generation facility is the price of diesel. Given that cost savings achieved by coordinated operation of diesel generation and BESS can be marginal (e.g., 5% of fuel consumption), the price of fuel becomes extremely relevant.

What is a diesel generator & how does it work?

In many isolated communities, diesel generators (DGs) continuously supply power for time-varying loads, which can be highly variable with limited load aggregation. Often this necessitates running generators at suboptimal operation points for some time.
