What is battery energy storage system (BESS)?

The sharp and continuous deployment of intermittent Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and especially of Photovoltaics (PVs) poses serious challenges on modern power systems. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are seen as a promising technology to tackle the arising technical bottlenecks, gathering significant attention in recent years.

What is a battery system?

Battery systems encompass everything from individual cells to battery packs, including the connection, sensors, casing and tests for energy storage solutions as well as battery management. Battery systems are designed based on their objective which is shaped by the power, energy, and grid connection requirements.

What is electrochemical energy storage?

The Institute Electrochemical Energy Storage focuses on fundamental aspects of novel battery concepts like sulfur cathodes and lithiated silicon anodes. The aim is to understand the fundamental mechanisms that lead to their marked capacity fading.

What will the future of batteries look like?

In the coming years, the demand for batteries will increase drastically - through electric mobility, portable electronic devices or decentralised energy storage. Researchers at HZB are developing battery systems such as lithium-ion batteries, but are also researching new concepts that are not yet ready for application.

Why is cell chemistry important in a battery system?

Battery systems are designed based on their objective which is shaped by the power, energy, and grid connection requirements. The cell chemistry is equally as important as the battery’s application. It can have implications on the permissible voltage, current, temperature and aging of the equipment.

How much energy storage capacity does Bess have?

Specifically, 1.1 mln BESS have been installed, accounting for a 9.3 GWh energy storage capacity . The aforementioned observations reconfirm the realisation of the wide and crucial role BESS can play to all power system segments.
