Watch now: Key tips for understanding Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

With Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) playing a central role in enabling more resilient, efficient, and flexible power infrastructure, our Cummins expert, Hassan Obeid, explores the practical realities of deploying BESS—from usage definition to system integration and safety standards — with Consulting-Specifying Engineer (CSE) Magazine. 

This discussion highlights how thoughtful planning, technical precision, and adherence to evolving standards are key to unlocking the full potential of energy storage.

This session explores:

  • Usage Clarity: Discover how discharge duration, C-rates, and lifecycle expectations shape system design.
  • Safety Standards: Learn about navigating standards like UL9540, IEEE 1547, NEC 706/480, and IEC 62933 across global markets.
  • Hybrid System Challenges: Gain insights into integrating BESS with traditional gensets, including synchronization and load-sharing complexities.
  • Sizing for Longevity: Understand the importance of sizing systems to meet end-of-life performance targets.

As BESS adoption accelerates, this session emphasizes the importance of technical accuracy, safety, and strategic planning in providing reliable, future-ready energy solutions.
