Battery Energy Storage Systems Security Solutions

Introduction

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are critical national infrastructure and high-value assets for the energy transition. However, during construction and commissioning, they are uniquely exposed to organized theft and disruption. This webpage outlines the challenges faced during BESS development and the tailored security solutions offered by Nemesis Consultants.

Challenges in BESS Development

During the BESS construction and commissioning phases, several vulnerabilities may occur:

• Theft of Materials: The properties of copper and cabling make them prime targets for organized theft.
• Equipment Damage: Inverters and transformers can suffer damage, impacting project timelines and budgets.
• Disruptions from Protest Groups: Protest actions can lead to significant delays and resource allocation issues.
• Arson and Vandalism: These acts of vandalism not only pose a safety risk but can also lead to financial losses.
• Vulnerability During Grid Connection: This crucial phase is often a target for disruptions, further jeopardizing project completion.
