746: What To Watch In The Evolving BESS Market, with Dave Hebert & Neha Sinha - Wärtsilä

Published on: 1st October, 2024

Advancements in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are setting new standards in renewable energy integration and at a break-neck pace. Wärtsilä Energy Storage and Optimization (ES&O) has long been a leader of this innovation, developing solutions to meet the growing demand for larger, more efficient battery systems, while recognizing the limitations of scale in the race to pack in the most energy density. With a diverse portfolio of products, from their flagship DC block Quantum series to the newly introduced Quantum3, a 5 MWh AC block with integrated string inverters, Wärtsilä continues to push the boundaries of energy storage technology.

Listen in to this Live-recorded session as Dave Hebert, Director of Sales Management, and Neha Sinha, Product Manager for Energy Storage Systems at Wärtsilä, discuss how their products address critical challenges like space constraints, auxiliary power, and noise reduction while adapting to evolving market demands and the complexities of product development.

Expect to learn:

  • Auxiliary power optimization that reduces costs and prevents early battery degradation.
  • Innovative approaches to managing noise in densely populated areas.
  • Benefits of maintaining both AC and DC block products in their portfolio.
  • Design and manufacturing choices in a policy-driven market
