BESSs (Battery Energy Storage Systems) have become more suitable for grid applications due to the advancement of large-scale battery storage, which has led to reduced costs while performance and life have continued to increase. The BESS provides an efficient and reliable operation for various grid applications.
In the quest for a resilient and efficient power grid, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have emerged as a transformative solution. This technical article explores the diverse applications of BESS within the grid, highlighting the critical technical considerations that enable these systems to enhance overall grid performance and reliability.
A grid-scale battery system requires power electronics to connect the battery with the grid. The Power Converter System (PCS) monitors and controls these power electronics. Besides the protective algorithms implemented in the Battery Management System (BMS), the battery system must be efficient to handle the grid systems' nonlinearity, constraints, and objectives in real-time.
Li-ion batteries are currently the major electrochemical or BESS for grid operation [1, 7, 9, 10]. This is due to the fact that electrification is driven by the advent of Li-ion battery, a major breakthrough in rechargeable battery technology.
There are active efforts and opportunities to develop C&S for battery-based grid ESS, resulting in benefits including lowering the cost of adoption and deployment. Given the relative newness of battery-based grid ES technologies and applications,\nAF metric definition and reporting processes (GADS) are established for generators but not yet applied to ESSs.
The possible use of EV batteries for grid service, also known as vehicle to grid (V2G), is being researched [ 102, 103 ]. EV batteries can be used for grid service, but the charge/discharge operation is more complicated than EV drive cycles and portable devices as described in previous sections.
