Wattstor’s BESS offering sits alongside ourmarket leading energy management system (EMS). Download our energy storage excellence brochure to learn more.
The market leading battery system forms one part of an energy ecosystem. The EMS platform connects distributed energy resources (DERs) across a site into a single, unified hub for visibility, automated control and optimisation towards price volatility and energy markets. Podium intelligently decides how energy on a site can be generated, stored and consumed to benefit from maximum ROI.
The result? Lowest-cost operations within grid constraints, maximised use of on-site renewable generation, adaptive electric vehicle charging, agile load control, and reduced carbon emissions.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) store electrical energy in rechargeable batteries for later use. These systems play a crucial role in modern energy infrastructure by addressing the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources and enhancing grid stability.
BESS consists of lithium-ion, lead-acid, or other battery technologies capable of efficiently storing and discharging electricity. During periods of low energy demand or when renewable sources like solar or wind are producing excess power, BESS stores the surplus energy. Conversely, during peak demand or when renewable sources are generating insufficient power, BESS releases stored energy to the grid.
One significant advantage of battery energy storage is its ability to provide rapid response to fluctuations in electricity demand, contributing to grid reliability. Additionally, BESS can act as a backup power source during outages, ensuring uninterrupted electricity supply. The decreasing costs of battery technologies have then led to increased deployment of BESS in residential, commercial, and utility-scale applications. This has eventually made them a key component in the transition to a more sustainable and resilient energy landscape.
