That's why backup energy systems are no longer a luxury—they're a necessity. Two of the most talked-about systems in this space are UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and BESS (Battery Energy Storage System). While they might seem similar at first glance, they serve very different purposes and are built for different challenges.
UPS systems are cheaper upfront. But their batteries wear out faster and aren't designed for daily use. BESS systems are more expensive initially, but they offer long-term savings through energy arbitrage, grid incentives, and durability (especially with lithium iron phosphate batteries). Which One Should You Choose?
The BESS can bid 30 MW and 119 MWh of its capacity directly into the market for energy arbitrage, while the rest is withheld for maintaining grid frequency during unexpected outages until other, slower generators can be brought online (AEMO 2018).
Deploying BESS can help defer or circum-vent the need for new grid investments by meeting peak demand with energy stored from lower-demand periods, thereby reducing congestion and improving overall transmission and distribution asset utilization.
