Honeywell has announced its battery energy storage system (BESS) platform, which integrates Honeywell asset monitoring, distributed energy resource management, supervisory control and analytics functionality to enable organisations to accurately forecast and optimise their overall energy use
Honeywell?s BESS Platform leverages best practices for energy management such as energy arbitrage and demand management to deliver flexibility and control of when energy is purchased and used. The platform is ideal for a wide range of commercial and industrial companies, independent power producers and utilities.
Hesham Tashkandi, vice-president and general manager, Honeywell Performance Materials and Technologies, Middle East, commented, ?Honeywell?s Battery Energy Storage System Platform will help solve a critical challenge in effectively integrating higher shares of solar energy in power systems that is being increasingly generated in the region, while also optimising the use of non-renewables.?
Honeywell?s BESS platform improves grid stability and sustainability while decreasing supply costs. If a generator fails or goes offline for any reason, the platform reduces the need to bring additional, non-renewable power generators online.
In addition, the BESS platform can reduce the need for non-renewable power sources such as gas turbines and diesel generators and their associated high gas consumption rates, contributing to a smaller carbon footprint.
