What are electrical energy storage systems (EESS)?

Electrical energy storage systems (EESS) for electrical installations are becoming more prevalent. EESS provide storage of electrical energy so that it can be used later. The approach is not new: EESS in the form of battery-backed uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) have been used for many years. EESS are starting to be used for other purposes.

Can EESS controller be connected to other energy sources?

The EESS controller may be connected to sources of energy via a.c. coupling or d.c. coupling. Necessarily, the connection to the grid supply will be via a.c. coupling. Coupling to other energy sources at standard voltages and frequencies defined in BS EN 50160 provides ready compatibility in the ratings of devices.

Can thermal management improve energy storage performance?

With larger capacity energy storage installations, thermal management may prove cost-effective for improving performance and increasing time between maintenance replacements of batteries of certain technologies.
