Key benefits for your organization
Support for load peaks
Battery energy storage systems can absorb short-term load peaks, so the genset does not need to be operated for these performance spikes. Without a battery storage system, the generator would often need to be ramped up for brief peak periods, which is inefficient and consumes a lot of fuel.
Reduce overall costs
By providing short-term power, batteries can reduce the need for additional gensets and increase the average load factor. This improves engine efficiency and saves costs.
Lower diesel consumption
In combination with gas engines, batteries with high charge and discharge rates enhance responsiveness to power fluctuations, enabling performance similar to conventional diesel drives.
Complement to renewable energy
In systems with renewable energy sources (such as solar or wind power), battery storage systems can utilize stored energy when needed, further reducing the fuel consumption of gensets.

What are battery storage systems and what is their function in the oil and gas industry?
Battery storage systems are energy storage systems that store electrical energy in rechargeable batteries. They serve as a buffer or reserve for electrical power, allowing it to be retrieved when needed. These storage systems are available in various sizes and for different applications, ranging from small lithium-ion batteries to large battery storage systems (BESS – Battery Energy Storage Systems) for industrial applications or grid stabilization.
In the oil and gas industry, battery storage systems are being used increasingly, particularly in connection with drive systems and the transition to lower-emission and more energy-efficient processes. They are used in several areas.
Support for hybrid drive systems
The oil and gas industry operates numerous drive systems – such as drilling rigs, pumps, compressors, and ships – that typically rely on diesel or gas engines. By integrating battery storage systems into hybrid drives, fossil fuel consumption can be reduced. In this setup, the combustion engine operates only during peak loads, while the battery is used for base loads or as a buffer storage. This helps improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions, as batteries can cover the load peaks and the combustion engine operates only in its optimal efficiency range.
Stabilization and optimization of energy consumption
Battery storage systems enable a balanced load distribution and stabilization of the power supply. This is especially useful in processes with high load fluctuations, such as operating drilling rigs, where sudden demand peaks can occur. In these situations, batteries can quickly provide energy, ensuring that the drives run more smoothly and reliably.
