Explaining how a grid-scale battery site fits together usually means walking someone through a single-line diagram — one that makes perfect sense to me and very little to everyone else in the room.

So I made something more practical: a BESS site map you can actually click through.

It walks from the battery containers out to the grid — through energy stations, MV equipment, transformers, and the interconnection point.

As you click each part, it explains what the component does and how energy flows through it — no prior BESS background needed.

That’s the part I care about most: sales, project management, engineering, and leadership teams all leave with the same accurate picture of how a battery site works — not five different versions of it.

This is part of BESS.engineer, a project I’ve started to build practical learning visualizations and tools for the grid-scale battery storage industry.

The visuals library already includes many other diagrams.

If you work in BESS — what topic do you wish had a clear visual like this one?
