Engineering Excellence for Green Energy Storage

A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) stores energy for later use, enabling businesses to manage peak demand, integrate renewables, and improve energy resilience. Ready Energy designs BESS tailored to industrial, commercial, and utility-scale applications to reduce energy costs and support grid stability.

Vanadium Flow Batteries (VFBs) offer exceptional durability, 100% depth of discharge without degradation, and a 25+ year lifespan. With non-flammable, water-based electrolytes and full recyclability, VFBs provide safe, sustainable, and cost-effective long-duration energy storage.

BESS, especially with VFB technology, store excess renewable energy from solar, wind, and biogas. This stored energy is dispatched during peak demand or low-generation periods, ensuring consistent supply, grid stability, and efficient renewable energy use.

Peaking power plants, more commonly known as peaker plants, are typically high-emission facilities that grid operators activate intermittently to meet surges in electricity demand.

According to the Clean Energy Council, large-scale BESS now outperform gas peakers on cost, response time, and emissions. Ready Energy’s systems provide rapid response, frequency control, and premium peaking services with zero carbon emissions.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) deliver rapid response by discharging power within milliseconds, helping stabilise the grid during sudden demand or supply changes. They support frequency control by maintaining grid frequency (e.g. 50 Hz in Australia) through real-time energy injection or absorption, which is essential as more renewables enter the mix.
BESS also enable premium peaking services, supplying power during high-demand periods when electricity prices surge—without the delays or emissions of traditional gas peakers. Because BESS can be charged from renewable sources, they deliver these services with zero direct carbon emissions, making them a cleaner, more efficient solution for commercial and industrial energy needs.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are typically used for short-duration energy storage—usually 1 to 4 hours. Most commercial BESS solutions rely on lithium-ion batteries and are ideal for grid stability, frequency response, and managing peak demand.
Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) refers to systems designed to discharge energy for 8–12+ hours. These are suited for managing renewable energy intermittency, improving grid reliability, and reducing long-term energy costs. LDES technologies often include pumped hydro, compressed air, or advanced flow batteries.
BESS solutions use Vanadium Flow Batteries (VFBs) instead of lithium-ion. This allows for longer discharge durations—up to 10+ hours—with no degradation tied to depth of discharge. As a result, our VFB-based BESS offer the performance of a long-duration energy storage system with the flexibility and scalability of modular battery systems.
For commercial and industrial buyers in Australia and New Zealand, our VFB-based BESS help solve key challenges: integrating renewables, shifting energy usage across time, and maintaining operational resilience.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) enable time-shifting energy use—charging during low-cost periods and discharging during peak times—lowering energy bills. Businesses can also generate revenue by providing grid services like frequency control and peak shaving.
