BESS

Masdar's 5.2 GW solar project with 19 GWh of battery storage is the largest solar-plus-storage announcement in the world — confirming that BESS is no longer a niche technology in the GCC but a core component of the energy transition. Industrial and commercial consumers are also deploying BESS for demand management, peak shaving, and backup power. We supply containerised BESS solutions from leading manufacturers.

What we supply

• Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery modules — preferred for stationary applications
• Battery management systems (BMS) — cell-level monitoring, SOC/SOH management
• Containerised BESS units — 20ft and 40ft DC blocks, factory-assembled and tested
• Power conversion systems (PCS) — bidirectional inverter/chargers for BESS
• Energy management systems (EMS) — dispatch optimisation, grid services, reporting
• Fire detection and suppression systems for BESS containers
• MV switchgear and transformers for grid-connected BESS

How the project proceeds

1. Define the storage capacity (MWh), power rating (MW), and application use case
2. Select battery chemistry, container configuration, and BMS/EMS platform
3. Source from qualified manufacturers; arrange factory acceptance testing
4. Transport to site; support installation, commissioning, and utility acceptance

Why Infinity

BESS procurement in the GCC must address two site-specific factors: extreme heat (affecting battery life and cooling system design) and fire safety requirements. We source BESS systems specifically rated for high-ambient-temperature operation and with fire suppression systems compliant with UAE Civil Defence requirements.
