Generac zero-emission battery energy storage
Generac Industrial Power, part of Waukesha, Wisconsin-based Generac Power Systems, has unveiled its all new zero-emissions SBE series of stationary battery energy storage systems, called BESS.
Available in energy capacities ranging from 200 kWh to 1,000 kWh, the company said its stationary battery energy storage systems enable commercial and industrial customers to save on energy costs by reducing peak charges and taking advantage of utility Time-of-Use rates.
“Energy management today increasingly means balancing a combination of carbon reduction, energy savings and energy resilience goals,” said Erik Wilde, executive vice president of Industrial - Americas at Generac.

The SBE series pairs with Generac’s line of gas and diesel generators for full-facility resilience during long-duration blackouts and pairs with on-site solar to help reduce both carbon footprint and energy costs.
The firm said the products can also provide site resilience during brownouts or power quality issues, and back up critical loads during shorter duration blackouts.
Available later this year, the SBE series will be offered as standalone energy storage products, as well as paired with Generac’s existing lineup of generators and power-enabling products and technologies including transfer switches, breakers, remote connectivity solutions and the Concerto distributed energy resource management system.
Customers, said the energy solutions company, also have an opportunity to earn additional revenue by monetizing the energy storage asset to support grid resilience.
“Our SBE series demonstrates advanced energy technology from a leading company with more than 60 years of experience providing energy solutions,” said Wilde.
