As emissions regulations tighten and grid limitations challenge electrification efforts, energy storage solutions are becoming essential in construction and mining. Volvo Penta’s Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) subsystem offers a transportable, fast-charging solution for microgrid applications such as quarries and urban restoration sites.
Many industrial sites struggle with power access: some have grid connections but require fast charging, others must generate their own energy due to infrastructure constraints, and many are in transition, not fully off-grid yet lacking secured capacity. Volvo Penta’s BESS subsystem bridges these gaps by integrating with renewable and conventional power sources, ensuring stable and reliable energy for large-scale electrification.
Designed with a high C-rate, the BESS subsystem supports fast charging and peak shaving, balancing energy loads to prevent grid instability. Its portability allows seamless deployment in zero-emission zones or remote mining operations, powering electric machinery like excavators and crushers without disrupting workflows.
Built on Volvo Group’s proven battery technology, the system features advanced DC/DC conversion, real-time telematics, a thermal management system, and a robust Battery Management System (BMS) for cybersecurity and performance optimization.
Volvo Penta will showcase its production-ready BESS subsystem at Bauma 2025, demonstrating how it supports the industry’s shift to sustainable energy.
