Do You Need a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)?
A UPS system provides immediate backup power during outages, protecting equipment and ensuring business continuity. However, for longer disruptions, a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) offers extended power, energy savings, and greater resilience. By combining a UPS with a BESS, businesses can reduce downtime, store renewable energy, and ensure reliable power even during extended outages, safeguarding operations across various industries.
Power outages and energy spikes can disrupt operations, damage equipment, and result in financial losses. While a UPS system offers essential emergency backup power to protect critical systems and prevent costly downtime, if the UPS fails or is disrupted, a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) can step in to ensure continuity and mitigate any further impact.
What Happens When a UPS System is Disrupted?
A UPS bridges the gap between losing mains power and switching to a stable energy source. It prevents data loss, protects equipment from surges, and maintains operations during outages, ensuring business continuity.

Without a UPS, power disruptions can severely impact organisations:
- Data Centres: Risk of data loss, corrupted files, and damaged servers.
- Manufacturing: Production line shutdowns, wasted materials, and delivery delays.
- Healthcare: Critical medical equipment failure, risking patient safety.
- Retail and Food Services: Spoiled goods due to refrigeration failure.
- Transport Infrastructure: Communication, lighting, and signalling outages, leading to delays or accidents.
- Renewable Energy: Disruption to wind farms and other renewable energy systems, reducing grid contributions during outages.
Why Pair a UPS System with BESS?
While UPS systems provide immediate, short-term backup, pairing them with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) offers long-term resilience:
While UPS systems provide immediate, short-term backup, pairing them with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) offers long-term resilience:
- Continuous Power: BESS ensures power for extended outages.
- Energy Savings: BESS stores renewable energy, reducing grid reliance.
- Versatility: BESS is ideal for off-grid or remote operations.
For example, a UPS can protect servers during an outage, while BESS keeps data centres operational until mains power is restored.
In Summary
A UPS system provides instant backup power to keep things running smoothly and protect equipment from power issues. However, for longer outages, a UPS alone may not be enough. When combined with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), it offers longer-lasting power, storing energy for when it's needed. Together, they create a reliable power solution that reduces downtime and ensures your operations stay up and running.
