What is a high-voltage energy storage system?

A high-voltage energy storage system (ESS) offers a short-term alternative to grid power, enabling consumers to avoid expensive peak power charges or supplement inadequate grid power during high-demand periods. These systems address the increasing gap between energy availability and demand due to the expansion of wind and solar energy generation.

What is nuvation energy high-voltage BMS?

The Nuvation Energy High-Voltage BMS is a utility-grade battery management system for commercial, industrial and grid-attached energy storage systems.

How do energy storage systems work?

Energy Storage Systems are structured in two main parts. The power conversion system (PCS) handles AC/DC and DC/AC conversion, with energy flowing into the batteries to charge them or being converted from the battery storage into AC power and fed into the grid. Suitable power device solutions depend on the voltages supported and the power flowing.

What is a high voltage BMS?

Nuvation Energy’s High-Voltage BMS provides cell- and stack-level control for battery stacks up to 1500 V DC. One Stack Switchgear unit manages each stack and connects it to the DC bus of the energy storage system.

How are utility-scale battery energy storage systems evolving?

Today’s utility-scale battery energy storage systems have made huge advancements in technology. In addition to increasing voltage levels up to 1500 VDC, systems are also being fully integrated with cloud-based measuring and monitoring systems such as the ABB AbilityTM platform.

Why do we need energy storage systems?

Energy storage systems provide a wide array of technological approaches to manage our supply-demand situation and to create a more resilient energy infrastructure and bring cost savings to utilities and consumers. Learn more now.
