Battery storage (BESS)

Secure links for battery management, grid services and site security at battery energy storage (BESS) sites. These sites earn money by responding to the grid, so a dropped connection costs revenue.

Technologies used: 4G LTE

Typical set-ups

Primary and backup control links

Grid services need a dependable link. A dual-modem or dual-SIM router keeps two networks available, and many operators add a second router as an independent path.

Typical kit: Teltonika RUTM52 (dual modem) or RUT956, with SIMs on different networks.

Site CCTV and access

Battery sites need perimeter cameras and gate access, ideally on a separate connection from the control network.

Typical kit: Teltonika RUT951 or a 5G router for multi-camera sites.

Things to check before you buy

  • Two networks for the control link, not one.
  • Power backup for the routers if the site design requires it.
  • Antennas outside steel containers.

From Teltonika

Teltonika publishes case studies showing its routers in real projects. See: connectivity for energy storage systems. Teltonika's documentation wiki covers set-up for every router we sell.

Talk to an M2M and IoT connectivity specialist. Every site is different. Tell us what you need to connect, where it is and how you want to manage it, and our UK team will recommend the router, antenna and SIM, with configuration options if you want it ready to plug in.

Questions

Why use a dual-modem router on a BESS site?

A dual-modem router keeps two mobile networks connected at the same time, so if one fails the other is already up. For grid services that makes a real difference compared with a single-modem router that has to switch.
