BESS SOLUTIONS
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Solutions
Battery Energy Storage Systems give operators greater control over how power is generated, stored and used.
Silverstone designs and delivers BESS solutions for mining, energy, utilities, infrastructure and industrial operations across Australia. From standalone battery storage through to systems integrated with existing generation and hybrid power stations, we engineer BESS around the way the site actually uses power.
Our capability covers feasibility, system design, equipment integration, controls, installation, testing and commissioning, with monitoring and technical support available once the system is operating.
Included in the Service
Store Power. Use It When It Matters.
Power demand doesn’t stay constant.
Loads change throughout the day, equipment starts and stops, generation conditions change and some operations need additional capacity at very specific times.
BESS gives operators another way to manage those changes. Energy can be stored when it’s available and dispatched when it’s needed, helping manage peak loads, support system stability and reduce unnecessary generator run time.
Silverstone engineers battery storage as part of the wider power system, so the BESS is designed around what the operation actually needs it to do.
From Energy Demand
to Stored Power
The right battery system starts with understanding what you need it to do.
We look at how the site consumes and generates power before determining the size, configuration and controls needed to achieve the required result.
01
Understand the Demand
We analyse load profiles, peak demand, existing generation, operating conditions and what the battery needs to achieve within the wider power system.
02
Size & Design
Our engineers determine the required storage capacity, power rating, configuration, controls and supporting electrical infrastructure.
03
Integrate the System
The BESS is integrated with existing or new generation, electrical infrastructure and controls, with consideration given to how each part of the system needs to respond.
04
Test & Commission
We test the battery system, controls and interfaces before commissioning the BESS under operating conditions.
05
Monitor & Support
Once operating, Silverstone can provide monitoring, maintenance and technical support as site requirements and power demands change.

BESS FAQs
What is a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)?
A Battery Energy Storage System stores electrical energy so it can be used when the power system needs it.
What can BESS be used for?
BESS can be used for peak load management, load shifting, system stability, backup support and integration with other generation sources.
Can BESS be integrated into an existing power system?
Yes. Battery storage can be integrated into existing generation and electrical infrastructure as well as incorporated into new power stations and hybrid systems.
Silverstone assesses the existing system before determining how the BESS should be sized, controlled and connected.
Can BESS work with renewable energy?
Yes. Battery storage can work alongside renewable generation by storing energy for use at another time.
Where a project includes renewable energy infrastructure, Silverstone Power can manage the BESS and wider power system integration while Silverstone Renewables delivers the renewable infrastructure.
Is BESS suitable for mine sites and remote operations?
Yes. BESS can be used in remote and off grid operations to support changing loads, improve system response and work alongside existing generation.
The right configuration depends on the site’s load profile, generation assets and operating requirements.
