BESS Converter Containers
As the demand for renewable energy and grid stability grows, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) play an increasingly critical role. PASS Engineering designs and manufactures specialized steel containers specifically engineered to house BESS converters, batteries, and associated control systems. Our containers provide a secure, reliable, and environmentally controlled solution for deploying BESS technology effectively.
Optimized for BESS Requirements
Housing BESS equipment requires careful consideration of thermal management, safety, and structural support. Our BESS converter containers are designed with these critical factors in mind:
- Thermal Management: Advanced HVAC systems precisely control internal temperatures and humidity, crucial for optimizing battery life, converter efficiency, and overall system performance. We design cooling solutions based on equipment heat loads and ambient conditions.
- Safety Systems: Integration of comprehensive safety features, including fire detection and suppression systems (e.g., Novec 1230, FM-200), emergency ventilation, gas detection (if applicable), and safety interlocks, compliant with relevant standards (e.g., NFPA 855).
- Structural Reinforcement: Containers are reinforced to handle the significant weight of battery racks and associated power electronics, ensuring structural integrity during transport and operation.
- Environmental Protection: Robust construction using high-quality steel and protective coatings (e.g., C3, C4, C5 corrosion resistance) ensures durability against harsh weather conditions, dust, and moisture ingress (IP ratings).
- Modularity & Scalability: Designed for modular deployment, allowing for easy expansion of BESS capacity as energy storage needs grow. Standardized designs facilitate rapid installation and commissioning.
- Integration Readiness: Containers are pre-engineered with necessary cutouts, cable transits, mounting points, and internal infrastructure (lighting, power distribution) to streamline the integration of converters, batteries, switchgear, transformers, and control systems.
- Security & Access: Secure access doors with multi-point locking systems and options for remote monitoring and access control protect valuable assets.
Applications
Our BESS converter containers support a wide array of energy storage applications:
- Utility-scale grid support (frequency regulation, peak shaving)
- Integration with renewable energy sources (solar, wind)
- Commercial and industrial demand charge management
- Microgrid applications
- Backup power for critical infrastructure
PASS Engineering delivers turnkey containerized solutions for BESS projects. We collaborate with BESS integrators, developers, and utilities to provide custom-engineered containers that ensure the safety, reliability, and optimal performance of battery energy storage investments.
