Hurricane season 2024 has been nothing short of devastating. In the wake of Helene and Milton, thousands of people were left without power. As storms of this magnitude become increasingly common, it’s more evident than ever that we need to prioritize grid stability.
Mobile Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are a portable energy solution commonly used for backup power during emergencies. From powering communications to recharging electric vehicles, these batteries help keep communities connected during a crisis. These systems are extremely powerful, with enough energy to power infrastructure and emergency response efforts. They are also highly agile and can be deployed in a wide variety of conditions.
Mobile BESS Deployment Strategies for Grid Stability
No matter how you use Mobile BESS, it will offer many advantages. However, there are a few key deployment strategies to keep in mind that will optimize Mobile BESS for grid stability. Here’s what you should know:
Have a plan in place
We can’t predict exactly where and when outages will occur, but we can have a response strategy. Once you have mobile BESS, have your team align on a deployment plan. Where will you set it up? What will you prioritize powering? Effective planning will ensure that you’re getting the most out of your mobile BESS when it counts.
Go solar
Mobile BESS can work in conjunction with solar panels. With renewable energy integration, mobile BESS can be deployed in a wider range of settings and increase grid reliability.
Integrate where you can
Consider how you will integrate mobile BESS with existing infrastructure. This can help you balance electrical loads and prevent the overloading of any one power source, reducing the likelihood of outages.
Mobile BESS is a smart investment for grid stabilization. With 90kwh of power, renewable energy integration, and rapid deployment, Power Up Connect’s Mobile BESS products are the ultimate in emergency power.
