Battery Storage Decision - BESS YES/NO

A fast, decision-oriented tool designed to evaluate whether battery energy storage (BESS) is justified in a given energy system.

Version 2.0 introduces an improved evaluation logic, incorporating energy balance, additional energy sources (solar, wind, grid), and cost comparison between generation and external energy.

Instead of focusing only on sizing, this tool answers a key question:

Should you install a battery or not?

It allows you to:

• Identify if there is usable surplus energy for storage

• Evaluate real battery utilization under operating conditions

• Compare energy costs (generator vs. external sources)

• Detect low-value or non-economic battery scenarios

• Understand the main drivers behind the decision

The tool provides a clear outcome (YES / NO / NOT RECOMMENDED), supported by technical checks and simple economic criteria.

Ideal for early-stage screening, feasibility discussions, and rapid engineering assessments in industrial, off-grid, and hybrid energy applications.
