Hurricane season is here. Unfortunately, power outages are a near-unavoidable consequence of hurricanes and tropical storms. 80% of power outages since 2000 were caused by severe weather.
The power grid is not built to handle the strain of high winds, flooding, and other damages. We cannot rely on the grid during weather emergencies, so we must have power sources on standby.
Mobile BESS is Your Hurricane Lifeline
A portable power solution is what you need in the aftermath of a storm. Many emergency management teams are opting for mobile battery energy storage systems, also known as Mobile BESS.
These systems are extremely powerful and versatile. Essentially, they’re a mini power grid on wheels, with plenty of wattage to keep essential services running during a power outage. There are a lot of ways they can be used. Here are just a few:
Set Up Portable Charging Stations
In this day and age, our devices are no longer a luxury. They’re non-negotiable. It’s especially true during a weather emergency, when we need our phones to check in with loved ones, get connected with resources, and contact local authorities. Mobile BESS can be set up as portable charging stations so that residents and emergency crews alike can power their equipment.
Power Cleanup Efforts
It takes a lot of equipment to clear debris, address flooding, and rebuild structures damaged by storms. With Mobile BESS on the scene to keep their gear running, response teams can get started right away, which means your community can get back on its feet faster.
Support Emergency Management Teams
As emergency management teams move through the impacted area, mobile BESS can move with them. Power Up Connect’s Mobile BESS are extremely durable and transportable, able to navigate through tough conditions.
