BESS Engineering Services

Energy storage projects don't succeed with a one-size-fits-all approach. That's why our engineering team tackles every BESS project from multiple angles—electrical, structural, civil, and controls—ensuring each system delivers exactly what your operation demands.

We offer multi-disciplinary engineering and design services that integrate and deliver optimized results customized to our client's needs and objectives. Our major services include:

Shadow Analysis

Our team of electrical experts delivers comprehensive solutions crucial for maximizing renewable energy potential and ensuring grid stability. We've sized everything from 50kWh commercial systems to multi-megawatt utility installations, and each project gets the same attention to detail.

Standalone BESS

Grid operators are demanding more flexible energy solutions, and that's exactly where standalone battery storage systems excel. These independent storage installations enable utilities to balance supply and demand in real-time, storing renewable energy when production peaks and releasing it during periods of high demand.

What makes our standalone BESS designs different? We engineer systems that don't just store energy; they actively participate in grid markets. Our clients generate revenue through frequency regulation, capacity payments, and ancillary services while supporting overall grid stability.

PV BESS

Solar energy without storage is like having a Ferrari without a gas tank: impressive potential, but limited practical value. Our solar-plus-storage integrations solve the intermittency challenge by capturing excess solar production and deploying it when the sun goes down or clouds roll in.

The key decision every solar+storage project faces: AC or DC coupling? Our engineers analyze your specific operational requirements, existing infrastructure, and future expansion plans to determine the most cost-effective approach. We've saved clients thousands in equipment costs by choosing the right coupling strategy upfront.

Industrial BESS

Manufacturing and industrial facilities face a unique challenge: energy costs that can make or break profit margins. Our industrial BESS solutions target the biggest pain points: demand charges, power quality issues, and operational continuity during outages.

Here's what sets our industrial approach apart: we integrate with your existing control systems rather than forcing you to adapt to ours. Whether you're running a 24/7 chemical process or managing peak loads in automotive manufacturing, our engineers design storage systems that complement your operations, not complicate them.

Project Lifecycle Management

Energy storage projects involve dozens of moving parts, multiple stakeholders, and regulatory requirements that change by jurisdiction. That's why our project management approach centers on one principle: no surprises.

You'll receive weekly progress updates, detailed milestone tracking, and immediate notification of any issues that could impact your timeline or budget. Our project managers are experts in BESS installations from initial feasibility through final commissioning, and that experience shows in how smoothly your project will run.

Applications of Exactus Energy's BESS Solutions

The versatility of modern BESS technology means virtually any industry can benefit from strategic energy storage. Here's how our solutions adapt to different applications:

Commercial & Industrial Applications

Your facility's energy profile is unique, and your BESS should be too. We analyze your historical usage patterns, peak demand periods, and operational requirements to design systems that deliver maximum ROI.

Typical commercial applications include:

  • Demand charge reduction for manufacturing facilities

  • Backup power for critical operations (data centers, healthcare)

  • Load shifting for facilities with time-of-use rates

  • Power quality improvement for sensitive equipment

 

Utility-Scale Storage

Grid-scale storage requires a different approach entirely. Our utility clients need systems that provide grid services like frequency regulation, spinning reserves, and black start capability. We design BESS installations that not only store energy but also actively support grid stability.

Utility-scale capabilities:

  • Co-location with solar farms for enhanced efficiency

  • Multi-megawatt systems with modular expansion options

  • Advanced control systems for grid service participation

  • Integration with existing transmission infrastructure

 

Microgrid & Remote Applications

Sometimes the best solution is complete energy independence. Our microgrid BESS designs integrate multiple generation sources with intelligent load management, creating resilient power systems for campuses, communities, and remote facilities.

Why does this matter? Because when Hurricane Sandy knocked out power for millions, facilities with properly designed microgrids kept running. That's the kind of resilience our engineering delivers.

 
 

Why Exactus Energy Stands Out in BESS Development

The energy storage market is crowded with vendors making bold promises. Here's what actually sets us apart:

Technical Excellence

Our engineers don't just understand batteries; we understand power systems. That means BESS designs that integrate flawlessly with your existing electrical infrastructure while meeting all code requirements.

Our technical advantages include:

  • In-house electrical, structural, and civil engineering

  • Experience across multiple utility territories and regulatory environments

  • Proven track record with complex interconnection requirements

  • Safety-first approach with comprehensive fire protection systems

 

Component Partnerships

We maintain strategic relationships with tier-one battery manufacturers, but we're not tied to any single vendor. This independence means you get the best technology for your specific application, not whatever one manufacturer happens to be pushing this quarter.

Our current technology partnerships span lithium-ion solutions from industry leaders as well as emerging technologies like sodium-ion batteries for specific applications.

Future-Proof Design Philosophy

Energy technology evolves rapidly. The BESS we design today needs to adapt to tomorrow's grid requirements and energy management strategies. That's why our systems include provisions for future expansion and technology upgrades.

And here's something most engineering firms won't tell you, we design every system assuming you'll want to expand it eventually. Because in our experience, successful BESS installations almost always lead to additional energy storage investments.
