Aggreko has released a guide for construction managers which demystifies common misconceptions surrounding battery energy storage systems (BESS) and highlights the extent of the technology’s applications in the sector.
With 21% of construction managers surveyed in Aggreko’s latest research report stating that they were most likely to choose BESS as a greener technology for their site, Building with BESS showcases how construction professionals can reduce both noise and emissions when operating in urban areas, all while increasing energy resilience and on-site efficiency.
Tom Adlington, Sector Sales Manager, Building Services & Construction at Aggreko said: “We aim to demonstrate how BESS can address some of the major challenges that construction sites face on-site every day – from the need to minimise noise, to cutting energy consumption, saving on fuel and reducing carbon emissions.
The guide highlights the real-world applications for battery storage, from efficient load management to overcoming grid challenges and scheduling power, including many that are not yet well-known to the industry.
Tom concluded: “To achieve goals such as reducing carbon emissions and meeting project deadlines, the sector requires certainty. So much rests on a construction site having a reliable power supply, yet misconceptions can deter construction managers – even if the solution may be ideal for the challenges they are facing.
“Outsourcing BESS from a specialist can also allow you to harness the benefits of this technology without any of the risks associated with an up-front investment. I would encourage everyone to read this guide so you can understand how it can benefit your next project.”
