Challenges for BESS Communication: Climate
Dramatic temperature fluctuations, sandstorms, and lightning strikes may cause communication equipment malfunctions, subsequently
Key Specifications and Capabilities: Size Range: BESS systems designed for black start applications typically range from 5 to 50 MW, allowing them to cater to a variety of grid scales and restoration needs.
BESS can rapidly inject or absorb power into the grid to correct frequency imbalances. When the grid frequency drops (due to demand exceeding supply), BESS discharges energy to help bring the frequency back to normal levels. Conversely, when the frequency rises (due to excess supply), BESS can absorb the surplus energy, helping to maintain balance.
Instead of relying solely on large, centralized power plants for reactive power, BESS can be installed at key locations across the grid, or distributed near large load centers. This distributed approach allows for a more localized response to voltage fluctuations, improving grid reliability and reducing transmission losses.
Cables such as DC cable, LV cable, MV cable, communication cable and other accessories need to be sourced accordingly to ensure the project is completed on time. The degradation of BESS capacity must be considered until the project is commissioned from the date of production.
