Battery Storage — store energy when it’s cheapest and use it at peak times

A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) captures and stores electrical energy for future use — offering greater flexibility in energy management. The batteries charge during periods when energy demand is low or when electricity prices are at their lowest, such as during sunny periods with solar power or at night when grid electricity costs less. The stored energy is then available for use during peak demand times when electricity prices are higher, or when additional power is essential, providing a reliable power reserve that can help balance power loads and reduce costs.

Implementing a battery storage system offers considerable cost savings by allowing you to use stored energy during peak price times instead of purchasing more expensive grid energy. By using stored energy during peak times, you also help reduce the overall demand on the grid, which contributes to a more sustainable energy system and potentially lower grid energy prices in the long term. In addition, the system can provide temporary backup power during grid outages, ensuring that your operations continue smoothly without interruption.

JLM's battery storage solutions use high-quality lithium-ion cells that provide excellent efficiency and lifespan. Systems are equipped with Dynamic Firm Frequency Response (DFFR) technology, which automatically adjusts the discharge rate based on energy demand, enhancing both energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. We work directly with two leading battery storage manufacturers to design and deliver bespoke battery storage solutions manufactured specifically for your requirements.

Routine maintenance mainly involves system checks to ensure all components are functioning correctly and software updates to keep the system running efficiently. Periodic inspections may include checking battery health, ensuring connections are secure, and verifying that there is no corrosion or wear on any parts. JLM offers comprehensive maintenance packages, ensuring that any potential issues are addressed promptly to maintain optimal system performance and extend the lifespan of the units. All JLM’s battery storage systems have 24/7 live remote monitoring and control, ensuring continually optimised operation.
