Should a system integrator service a battery energy storage system?

Image: IHI Terrasun System integrators are critical to the successful delivery and commissioning of a battery energy storage system (BESS) project, but they are perhaps also best-placed to service the asset once its in operation, argues Ray Saka of IHI Terrasun.

What does a battery energy storage system integrator do?

Image: RWE. The battery energy storage system (BESS) industry is changing rapidly as the market grows. At the heart of what is becoming a crowded and competitive market is the role of the system integrator: putting together the components and technologies that bring BESS projects to life.

Are battery energy storage system integrators based in China?

Competition is intensifying in the rapidly evolving global energy storage market. According to Wood Mackenzie, the race in the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) integrator market heated up in 2022, with the top five integrators accounting for 62% of the total BESS shipments (MWh). Notably, three of these leading companies are based in China.

Why should you choose a system integrator with in-house service teams?

Choosing a system integrator with in-house service teams provides a comprehensive solution that ensures the optimal performance and longevity of energy storage installations.

What does a system integrator do?

System integrators, defined as companies involved in system assembly, design and commissioning of energy storage projects are increasingly adding software expertise to their core competency set.

Why do system integrators need O&M?

O&M allows system integrators to get involved with mitigating and managing risk on a level that differentiates them from competitors, Forsyth says.
