Technical FAQs 4

What are battery energy storage systems?

Battery energy-storage systems typically include batteries, battery-management systems, power-conversion systems and energy-management systems 21 (Fig. 2b).

Why is battery storage important?

Batteries are an important part of the global energy system today and are poised to play a critical role in secure clean energy transitions. In the transport sector, they are the essential component in the millions of electric vehicles sold each year. In the power sector, battery storage is the fastest growing clean energy technology on the market.

How does a battery energy storage system work?

The direct current generated by the batteries is processed in a power-conversion system or bidirectional inverter to output alternating current and deliver to the grid. At the same time, the battery energy storage systems can store power from the grid when necessary 24, 25.

Why is battery safety research important?

“Battery safety research is a cornerstone of our work at NREL and crucial to strengthening America’s energy infrastructure,” said NREL Senior Energy Storage Engineer and Manager Matt Keyser. “Safer batteries increase energy availability to power everything from consumer electronics to national security systems.
