Generac Industrial Power, the Wisconsin-based power generation unit of Generac Power Systems, has unveiled its zero-emissions SBE series of stationary battery energy storage systems (BESS) for commercial and industrial (C&I) applications.
The SBE series pairs with on-site solar as well as with Generac’s line of gas and diesel generators for resilience during power outages. Available in energy capacities ranging from 200 kWh to 1,000 kWh, the new stationary battery energy storage systems (BESS) come in a 20-foot enclosure and the company reports that it can help C&I customers save on energy costs by reducing peak charges and taking advantage of utility time-of-use rates. The systems also provide site resilience when the grid is down or suffering from power quality issues.
The SBE systems offer a local data server, an HMI interface, cloud-based monitoring, multilevel authentications for security, and more. The company reports that it supports ethernet-based communication and compatibility with third-party EMS, SCADA systems
