Dependence on a stable power supply has never been greater. In industry, commerce and critical infrastructures, even short-term grid problems can lead to massive damage, high costs and data loss.
Modernity Battery storage systems (BESS) offer a future-orientated and immediately available solution for the Emergency power supply. They reliably protect production facilities, server rooms, machine control systems and safety-relevant processes.
Why BESS is the best emergency power solution
Compared to traditional emergency power solutions (such as diesel generators), battery storage systems offer a decisive advantage: the Response time.
A BESS does not start - it switches over. The energy is already stored and available.
Your advantages with the BESS emergency power supply:
- Immediate availability: Switching to Milliseconds (real UPS function).
- No delay: No ramp-up time, as is necessary with generators.
- Protection against damage: Prevention of data loss and damage to sensitive infrastructure.
- Low maintenance: Lower operating costs and less maintenance than with diesel systems.
- Environmentally friendly: Emission-free operation.
Important: BESS systems automatically switch to emergency power mode as soon as a mains fault is detected. Uninterrupted operation is guaranteed.
Capacity and performance for critical applications
The capacity of the storage system determines how long critical loads can be bridged.
With a discharge capacity of up to 2.5 MW the 5,015 kWh Container from Faber E-Tec can easily supply large industrial systems with a stable power supply for minutes or hours, depending on the load profile of the critical loads. This is essential for companies that require longer bridging times.
Companies that benefit from BESS:
- Production and manufacturing companies: Safeguarding critical machines and process chains.
- Data centres / IT companies: Protection against server failure and data loss (UPS functionality).
- Clinics and laboratories: Ensuring vital functions and cold chains.
- Logistics centres: Maintenance of the conveyor and control technology.
- Municipal and security companies: Securing the public infrastructure.
Security architecture of modern BESS systems
Safety is the top priority, especially in emergency power operation. Our modern BESS systems offer multiple levels of protection:
- Cell monitoring: BMS (Battery Management System) monitors every cell.
- Fire protection: Aerosol extinguishing, emergency sprinkler system and LFP cell structure (for high thermal stability).
- Housing and operation: Liquid cooling, IP54 outer housing and fire protection in accordance with relevant guidelines (e.g. NFPA).
Integration and flexibility in the energy system
A battery storage system can supply more than just emergency power. It integrates seamlessly into existing and future energy systems:
- UPS function: Transfer of critical loads without interruption.
- Island operation: Isolation and supply of specific, prioritised sub-areas.
- Combination: Utilisation of PV power and grid power in normal operation.
- Connection: Easy integration with a Faber E-Tec compact station for medium-voltage connection.
Conclusion: Modern emergency power supply needs battery storage
BESS systems are the sustainable alternative to generators. They are fast, reliable, flexible to use and offer significantly greater functionality than conventional emergency power solutions.
For trade and industry, the emergency power supply with battery storage systems not only means safeguarding processes, but also a Quality assurance and Planning security in the event of a blackout
