What is battery energy storage system (BESS)?

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) play a pivotal role in addressing these challenges by minimising the intermittency of renewables, enhancing grid flexibility, and ensuring reliable power supply. In a significant development, Vietnam Electricity (EVN) has secured approval for its first pilot BESS project with a capacity of 50 MW/50MWh.

Can solar energy storage be commercially viable in Vietnam?

The purpose of the pilot project is to demonstrate the commercial viability of energy storage in Vietnam, a country which has rapidly adopted solar PV in the past few years, but is yet to start doing the same for batteries, or other forms of energy storage technology.
