BESS: Energy storage systems for a more flexible, efficient and cost-effective grid
The energy transition in Spain is driven by the growth of renewable energies and the need to decarbonise the economy. However, this transformation poses a key challenge: how to manage energy when it is not consumed at the moment of generation? At TDG Ibernavitas, we offer comprehensive energy storage solutions with batteries, and BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) are positioned as one of the most effective tools for achieving this.
What is a BESS and how does it work?
A BESS is a battery-based storage system that allows electricity—mainly generated from renewable sources—to be stored and released when demand requires it. This type of technology not only increases the energy efficiency of photovoltaic or wind power installations, but also provides flexibility, grid stability and responsiveness to variations in generation or consumption.
BESS systems include:
- High-capacity lithium batteries
- Bidirectional inverters
- Control and monitoring systems
- Energy management software
Its main function is to store energy during periods of low demand and release it at peak times or according to the operator’s needs, thus optimising the use of the energy generated.
The importance of BESS in the energy transition
Renewable generation is inherently variable: the sun does not shine all day and the wind blows irregularly. This intermittency can lead to energy surpluses or shortages at different times. BESS allow this variability to be turned into a competitive advantage by storing excess energy and releasing it when it is most needed.
Its main benefits include:
Optimisation of self-consumption
Store renewable energy for use during low generation periods, maximising system efficiency.
Peak demand reduction
Releasing stored energy at times of high demand helps to avoid additional costs due to peak consumption.
Participation in energy markets
They enable stored energy to be sold at times of greater profitability, generating new economic opportunities.
Regulatory compliance
They facilitate compliance with zero discharge regulations, preventing the injection of surpluses into the network.
Industrial and commercial applications of BESS
At TDG Ibernavitas, we design energy storage solutions tailored to each type of installation. From high-demand industrial environments to collective self-consumption projects and large-scale photovoltaic plants, BESS enable:
Increasing the profitability of renewable investment
Improving overall energy efficiency
Ensuring continuity of supply
Comply with technical and regulatory requirements

The role of TDG Ibernavitas in the energy transition
As a company specialising in comprehensive energy solutions, at TDG Ibernavitas we are committed to technologies that not only generate clean energy, but also manage it intelligently. BESS are an essential component in transforming renewable production into usable and profitable energy.
Our technical team analyses each case, correctly sizes the installation and develops active management strategies that maximise the value of each kWh produced, ensuring stability, flexibility and energy efficiency.
Why BESS are a necessity today
In an increasingly digitised, decentralised and renewable-based electricity system, having energy storage makes the difference between simply producing energy and using it profitably.
At TDG Ibernavitas, we support our clients from the design stage through to the implementation of their BESS systems, ensuring that each project meets the objectives of efficiency, stability, and profitability. Contact us and request a personalised study for your installation.
