Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are transforming the way industrial facilities, offshore assets and marine vessels generate, manage and store electrical power.

Historically, similar systems were often referred to within the offshore marine industry as Battery on Board (BoB), where battery technology was integrated with existing vessel power systems to reduce generator running hours, improve fuel efficiency and lower emissions. As energy storage technology has evolved, BESS has become the recognised industry term, supporting applications far beyond the marine sector.

Working alongside leading battery manufacturers, inverter suppliers and switchgear vendors, Simmonds Equipment develops modular battery energy storage solutions engineered around each customer’s preferred technology rather than a single proprietary platform.

Solutions may include:

• Battery Enclosures

• Containerised Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

• Offshore Battery Modules

• Marine Battery Rooms

• Renewable Energy Storage Systems

• Hybrid Generator/Battery Systems

• Utility Scale Battery Buildings

Typical battery technologies include:

• Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP)

• Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC)

• Sodium-ion (where specified)

• Emerging battery technologies as they become commercially available

Applications include offshore vessels, offshore platforms, FPSOs, ports, mining operations, utilities, renewable energy projects and industrial facilities.

Whether supporting the hybridisation of an existing offshore vessel, reducing generator operating hours on remote industrial sites or providing large-scale energy storage for renewable power generation, every system is engineered to improve operational efficiency, reduce emissions and simplify project integration.
