BESS Energy Storage Backup Power Supply in Cordoba Powering Argentina
With Cordoba"s provincial government allocating $47 million for clean energy projects in 2024, BESS adoption is projected to grow 210% faster than the national average.
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or uninterruptible power source is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to a load when the input power source or mains power fails.
The system remains in standby mode, monitoring the main power supply. When it detects a power failure, the UPS switches to backup power from the battery within milliseconds. Best For: Low-power applications, such as home computers, gaming systems, small office equipment, and personal devices.
UPS systems are cheaper upfront. But their batteries wear out faster and aren't designed for daily use. BESS systems are more expensive initially, but they offer long-term savings through energy arbitrage, grid incentives, and durability (especially with lithium iron phosphate batteries). Which One Should You Choose?
For large power units, dynamic uninterruptible power supplies (DUPS) are sometimes used. A synchronous motor/alternator is connected on the mains via a choke. Energy is stored in a flywheel. When the mains power fails, an eddy-current regulation maintains the power on the load as long as the flywheel's energy is not exhausted.
