Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
Fast access to power through battery-supported EV charging stations.
More power, more plugs
-
Availability
Grid upgrades are expensive and lengthy. Clever energy storage can support EV charging station owners to fast-track their network deployment. -
Modular
Rising hub utilization leads to higher demand for power and plugs. The Kempower Power Booster provides a scalable solution for new and existing EV charging hubs. -
Grid services
When battery storage is on stand-by, more market opportunities can be discovered. This creates new revenue streams, shortening investment payback time.
Complement grid power with batteries and solar photovoltaics
Challenges and opportunities
-
Access to power
Long waiting times for new grid permits or lengthy lines at existing EV charging hubs both require fast access to power.
-
CAPEX and OPEX
Intermittent energy sources cause constant price fluctuation. Moreover, power distribution assets sized for small capacity require costly grid upgrades.
-
Hub profitability
Investments in battery energy storage may burden the EV charging hub business when hub use is not sufficient.
