The growth of renewable energy is profoundly transforming the energy system. In this context, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are becoming increasingly important for improving grid flexibility and enhancing production from renewable sources.
It is with this objective in mind that D-BESS (Decentralized Battery Energy Storage System) was created, a platform dedicated to the development of storage systems integrated into existing photovoltaic plants, promoted by Così Green, Ferplant, and Openlogs.
The project was officially presented at KEY – The Energy Transition Expo, one of Europe’s leading events dedicated to energy transition and renewable energy technologies.
Energy storage and optimization of photovoltaic systems
The integration of Battery Energy Storage Systems into photovoltaic plants is one of the main levers for improving the management of renewable energy production.
Thanks to energy storage, it is possible to store the energy produced during periods of peak generation and use it when demand increases or when market conditions are more favorable.
This approach makes it possible to:
- increase the efficiency of renewable energy plants
- improve revenue stability over time
- contribute to the flexibility of the electricity system
The D-BESS model focuses in particular on the integration of storage systems into photovoltaic plants already connected to the grid, with a decentralized approach that enhances existing energy infrastructure.
A decentralized model for storage development
Unlike large standalone storage facilities, D-BESS offers a model based on storage systems integrated into existing photovoltaic plants.
This approach makes it possible to leverage existing grid connections, reduce regulatory complexities, and limit the consumption of new land, contributing to the development of more sustainable and scalable energy storage.
At the same time, the integration of batteries makes it possible to optimize energy management and enhance the value of renewable assets, thanks in part to participation in energy markets.
The skills behind the project
The D-BESS project stems from the integration of complementary skills in the energy sector.
Ferplant is a Green Asset Management Company active in the development and management of projects in the renewable energy and energy efficiency sector.
Così Green, a Cospardo Group company, operates in the development of renewable projects with a significant track record in the photovoltaic sector and in the development of storage systems.
Openlogs is a group active in energy services, energy trading, and electricity market management, with expertise in the operational and commercial management of energy assets, including storage systems.
The integration of these skills allows projects to be followed throughout their life cycle, from development to operational management.
Storage and energy markets: a key component of the energy transition
With the increase in production from renewable sources, energy storage systems are becoming an increasingly strategic component in ensuring flexibility, stability, and integration between energy production and demand.
Projects such as D-BESS contribute to making the energy system more efficient and resilient, enhancing the existing renewable energy park and promoting the development of new energy management models.
