battery energy storage systems
CleanDesign is a hybrid energy management and battery energy storage company that designs, builds, and deploys battery energy storage systems (BESS) for oil and gas, mining, remote, and EV-charging operations across Canada and North America. Each system pairs lithium-ion battery storage with generator automation and machine-learning controls to smooth power loads, reduce diesel runtime, and lower emissions — without adding new generators.
Energy Storage Solutions for Industrial Operations
CleanDesign's battery energy storage platform captures surplus generator output and discharges it on demand, so engines run at their most productive load point instead of throttling up and down. The result is lower fuel burn, fewer blackouts, and measurable emissions reduction — proven across deployed hybrid drilling rigs and remote microgrids.

What Is a Battery Energy Storage System?
A battery energy storage system (BESS) stores electrical energy in lithium-ion battery cells and releases it when it is needed most. In an industrial setting, a BESS sits between the generators and the load: it absorbs energy when demand is low and delivers it during spikes, so gensets no longer have to run at partial load to cover peaks. Energy storage of this kind reduces generator runtime hours, smooths dynamic power demand, and prevents the brownouts and blackouts that damage equipment and stall operations. On a connected grid, the same technology stores off-peak power and shaves demand peaks.

How CleanDesign Battery Storage Works

Capture
The battery system stores surplus power while generators run at their most productive load.
Optimize
Machine-learning controls read demand at the millisecond level and dispatch stored power the instant load rises.
Reduce
Generators run fewer hours at better load points, cutting diesel use, maintenance, and emissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a battery energy storage system (BESS)?

A battery energy storage system stores electrical energy in lithium-ion cells and discharges it on demand. In industrial use, a BESS sits between the generators and the load so engines run at their most productive point instead of throttling to cover peaks — reducing fuel burn, runtime hours, and emissions.

 What is energy storage used for on a drilling rig or remote site?

Energy storage captures surplus generator output and releases it during demand spikes. That lets operators run fewer gensets at better load points, prevents blackouts from dynamic loads, and lowers diesel consumption and greenhouse-gas emissions.

What energy storage solutions does CleanDesign offer?

CleanDesign builds hybrid battery storage that integrates with existing generators, plus the machine-learning controls that manage load in real time. Systems are sized per site for oil and gas, mining, remote communities, and EV-charging operations.

What is utility-scale battery storage?

Utility-scale battery storage is a high-capacity system that stores and dispatches large amounts of power for industrial sites or grid support. CleanDesign's platform scales from single-rig deployments to multi-megawatt installations.

How much fuel and emissions can a BESS save?

On deployed CleanDesign hybrid rigs, diesel consumption has fallen by up to 48% with fuel savings around $300,000 per rig per year. ⚠️ Pritesh to verify. Savings depend on site load profile and baseline generator configuration.

Is CleanDesign one of the energy storage companies serving Canada?

Yes. CleanDesign is a Canadian hybrid energy management and battery energy storage company deploying systems across Canada and North America, with a focus on oil and gas, mining, and remote industrial operations.

Does a BESS work with our existing generators?

Yes. CleanDesign's system is designed to integrate with existing gensets rather than replace them — the battery and controls layer on top to smooth load and cut runtime, which is why deployment is fast and low-disruption.
