Thanks to technological advances, developer SENS has been able to increase the capacity of the BESS component of its innovative hybrid pumped hydro-BESS project, located at Pyhäsalmi mine in Finland. The cluster comprises a 75 MW underground pumped storage hydroelectric (UPHS) facility and a BESS.What is a Bess project?When people ask me about a BESS project, I like to explain it as the giant rechargeable battery for our electrical grid. Just like the battery in your phone stores energy for when you need it, a Battery Energy Storage System collects electricity when it’s abundant and releases it when demand spikes. Think of it as a reservoir for electricity.
How much power does a Bess project have?The BESS’ capacity was 85 MW and is now 170 MW. Thanks to technological advances, developer SENS has been able to increase the capacity of the BESS component of its innovative hybrid pumped hydro-BESS project, located at Pyhäsalmi mine in Finland. The cluster comprises a 75 MW underground pumped storage hydroelectric (UPHS) facility and a BESS.
How much power does a Bess battery have?The combined battery installation has a rated power of 812 MW with a storage capacity of 3,248 MWh (4-hour duration), positioning it among the largest operational BESS projects in the United States and the world.
Does a Bess project need a power supply?A BESS project may store and deliver energy, but it still needs basic utilities to function properly. Water access is crucial, primarily for firefighting systems. Some designs also use water for cooling, though many modern systems are air-cooled. Ironically, these massive power providers also need their own power supply.
How long does a Bess project last?Many modern BESS projects, including ours, are designed with battery replacement in mind. The system is built so that modules can be swapped out midway through the project life while reusing everything else. This approach extends the overall project lifespan to 20-30 years or more—similar to other major energy infrastructure.
How will Bess change the energy industry?Integration Depth will increase dramatically. Rather than standalone systems, BESS projects will become more deeply integrated with both renewable generation and energy-consuming devices, creating seamless energy ecosystems where production, storage, and consumption are orchestrated together.
