The role of BESS in keeping the lights on
BESS do not; they can respond very quickly from even a deep standby state."

How does Bess work?
BESS relies on one or more batteries to store energy, which can then be used at a later time. These batteries may be charged using excess electricity generated by wind or solar farms, for example, or by grid connection during periods of low demand. Once the battery is full, it stores the electricity until it is needed.
