Renewable energy batteries for energy storage
LFP renewable energy technology and batteries
Batteries based on state-of-the-art lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePo4) technology are characterized by:
- High security
- Long life (6000+ cycles)
- Very good efficiency
- Minimal maintenance
- Fast loading and unloading
- Light weight
Renewable energy frequency reserve market
By participating in the frequency reserve market, it is possible to delegate battery management to the network operator Elering and thereby earn income. In this case, your battery is used to ensure the stability of the electrical network by switching to charging or discharging as needed. In the first case, the battery works as an electricity consumer, in the second case as an electricity producer.
Solar panel battery management
BMS (Battery Management System), which is usually already integrated into the battery solution, is responsible for managing the battery cells.
EMS (Energy Management System) is responsible for managing the entire energy system, which prepares the most optimal working schedule of the battery bank and controls the operation of both the battery bank and other related devices based on this.
Batteries of different sizes for solar parks
Due to the relatively high price of batteries, it is reasonable to choose an optimally sized battery that can fulfill the set goals and at the same time does not have an excessively large capacity. Depending on your goals, there are some general principles that will help you make the right choice for your scenario:
- Battery selection according to consumption
- Battery selection for solar park
- Battery choice for the frequency reserve market
Applications of renewable energy batteries
Batteries have many different uses:
- Renewable energy buffering
- Saving on energy costs
- Building a solar plant without grid-oriented production connection
- Ensuring security of supply
- Buffering electric car chargers
- Making money in the frequency reserve market
