Battery Energy Storage System – BESS | Elinex
At the moment, we see customers considering backup power from the BESS as a replacement for or addition to emergency power generators. The
The volatility in the Dutch electricity market presents a landscape of both opportunities and challenges. By integrating advanced energy storage solutions like BESS, you can capitalize on dynamic market conditions while contributing to grid stability.
Dutch BESS projects mainly participate in two balancing services: Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) and automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve (aFRR). The Dutch TSO, TenneT, uses these services as the primary and secondary restoration services, respectively, as explained in RaboResearch's report on the Dutch electricity sector.
To date, around 250MW of BESS has been installed in the Netherlands, while 840MW is permitted or under construction and another 690MW has been announced. Meanwhile, the scale of announced projects is on the rise.
Current commercial BESS solutions primarily store energy in Lithium-ion batteries of various types (NMC, LFP, LTO). The UPS solutions are slowly transitioning to Lithium-ion battery technology but mainly still use the more traditional VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) or 'valve-regulated lead-acid batteries'.
