What Are the Inherent Risks of BESS Sites, and How Can Operators Overcome Them?

Article from | Teledyne FLIR

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are revolutionizing the way we power our world, acting as the source that keeps renewable energy flowing even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing.

Battling Revenue Erosion: Sharper SOC Accuracy Can Lift BESS Earnings by 11 %

Dr. Georg Angenendt, CTO and Co-founder | ACCURE

For lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries—now powering more than 80 % of new BESS builds—SOC error margins of 10-20 % points are routine because LFP’s flat voltage profile makes precise measurements tricky.

A Foundation for Success: Navigating Bedrock & 180-mph Winds

Case Study from | Terrasmart

Bahamas Solar & Renewables took a non-traditional path to build their first solar site by bypassing the use of an EPC. Instead, they hired local contractors to execute their civil and electrical work. This initiative ensured economic support for the local community.

Eastron's UL-Certified Smart Meter: Critical for Reliable Energy Monitoring in North American PV Systems

07/18/25, 06:08 AM | Solar Power | Eastron Electronic Co., Ltd.

This abstract summarizes the explosive growth of North America's PV market-driven by policy (U.S. IRA's 30% ITC), rising energy costs, and 100% clean electricity goals-and the critical monitoring challenges it faces: power quality risks (harmonics, voltage fluctuations), data communication issues, and extreme temperature impacts. Eastron's UL-certified SDM630MCT three-phase smart meter addresses these pain points with bidirectional metering (IMP&EXP), multi-parameter power quality monitoring, Modbus RS485 compatibility, a -40℃~+70℃ operating range, and 0.5s class accuracy. It ensures stable operation, avoids grid fines, and maximizes economic benefits for North American PV users, serving as a compliant, reliable solution for the market's rapid expansion.
