Schneider Electric unveils next-generation BESS to enable scalable, resilient energy transition

Schneider Electric has launched its next-generation, fully integrated cell-to-grid-to-cell battery energy storage system (BESS). The solution is designed to enable predictable, revenue-generating energy storage while strengthening grid resilience and enabling flexible, intelligent energy systems. This solution brings together utility-grade electrical infrastructure with Schneider Electric’s advanced digital intelligence, including an energy management system, a distributed energy resources management system, a power plant controller and microgrid control, to enable compliant, optimised and resilient operations. The platform is designed as a bankable, finance-ready asset with predictable life cycle performance. The platform integrates Schneider Electric’s end-to-end hardware and software ecosystem, including medium voltage and low-voltage switchgear, SF-free AirSeT™ switchgear, GIS/AIS, inverter duty transformers, and a complete AC/DC protection and control suite.
