What happens when you put a diesel generator and a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) side by side under the same load? You hear – and see – the future of portable power.
At this afternoon’s SGBC Learning Journey hosted by SGBC Member Infinity Cube Pte Ltd, more than 30 participants experienced exactly that. The session on Infinity Cube’s premises offered a practical introduction to BESS as a viable alternative to conventional diesel generators, with a focus on real-world applications.
Here are some of the session highlights:
- A showcase of available battery sizes and their applications across different operational needs
- A live performance comparison between a diesel generator and BESS where the difference in noise and smooth operation spoke volumes
- A behind-the-scenes look at Infinity Cube’s technology, with key components removed and explained
As the built environment seeks to reduce its carbon footprint, understanding alternatives like BESS becomes essential. SGBC thanks Infinity Cube for opening their doors and sharing their expertise.
