Why do industrial energy storage systems become a key element of the energy strategy?

Segment Commercial & Industrial (C&I)today is faced with low mutually related pressures: rising electricity prices, the need to reduce peak demand (peak shaving), limits of added strength to promote the development of modern energy projects, as well as the growing role of mechanismsDemand Side Response (DSR), which will require careful management of electricity consumption. An additional factor is the expansion of the Zero Export program, which will interconnect or completely protect the transfer of excess electricity to the limit.

This is based on the industrial energy storage system of the class BESS, which is combined with a photovoltaic installation and under the ceramic baths systemEMSone hour selects a number of important functions:

• Self-consumption (Autoconsumption): maximum vigor of moisture generation by transferring accumulated energy to the night hour or peak periods navantazhennya.
• Peak Shaving:actively changes the peak pressure, which allows you to spend less time on the required effort and eliminate fines for exceeding the contractual effort.
• DSR (Demand Side Response):participation in power supply operators’ programs due to regulation, which creates additional income.
• Zero Export: robot in the mode of limited or zero export of electricity up to the limit of the power distribution system operator.
• Reserve of life (BackUp): ensuring uninterrupted power supply for critically important companions whenever the power supply is turned off.

In this regard, Livoltekproposes solutions for projects that are being implemented in Ukraine, Poland, Estonia and Norway.

Wonder how it works in practice!

Technical characteristics and advantages of the BESS system

SystemLivoltek BESS P125X261E/U – this is a commercial energy storage system, which is based on its architecture LFP-battery module on base of REPT elements, bidirectional energy conversion system PCS (Power Conversion System), as well as modules BMS and IEMS moisture extraction and generation. Completely compact design systemoccupies only1.35 m², which allows for installation in existing manufacturing workshops, including electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, at industrial parks and commercial activities without the need for the surrounding infrastructure.

The system supports a new range of robot modes:

• On-grid (in parallel with the electrical circuit):implementation of the Peak Shavingfunction, maximization self-life, participation in the programs DSR and tariff arbitrage (Time-of-Use).
• Off-grid (off-grid mode): independent electrical supply to the visible part of the object and creation oflocal micro-fences (microgrid).
• Hybrid mode On-grid / Off-grid:smooth and automatic switching between gridded and offline modes with the help of an additional switchAC Transfer Switch.

Technical characteristics

Really cold – why is it important?

LFP battery cells have high thermal stability, but effective temperature treatment significantly affects the number of operating cycles and degradation rates Capacity. The BESS system has a capacity of 261 kW/year and the battery module is cooled directly by glycol. This ensures an even distribution of temperature across the cluster and eliminates local overheating – a typical problem in systems with air refrigeration.

Practical result: the Livoltek system will provide over8,000 work cycles, which is equivalent to one full cycle of production (charging + discharging) over 22 rocks nominal operation.

The IEMS system has been introduced

The BESS Livoltek skin system is equipped with IEMS (Intelligent Energy Management System) – an intelligent energy storage system that controls energy flows in the middle of the installation. It coordinates the processes of charging and discharging batteries, optimizes energy consumption (self-consumption), implements Peak Shaving algorithms and Zero Export, and will also provide real-time system diagnostics.

Data is exchanged via interfacesRS485, CAN, Ethernet, 4G or Wi-Fi, which allows you to practically integrate the system with any edge architecture of the object.

For projects that require the integration of multiple renewable energy units (REGs), BESS systems, tariff management and regulatory development, Livoltek supports the work of external top-tier EMS platforms. Among confirmed technology partners:

• Advant – the light standard for the segment ofutility-scale and great commercial and industrial (C&I) energy projects;

Always with critical communication interfaces (Modbus TCP, RS485, CAN, MQTT) BESS Livoltek systems can be integrated with Other platforms SCADA, automation systems (BMS) or specialized EMS solutions of the deputy.

Pyatirivneva security system

Safety of the industrial energy storage system (BESS) is one of the key priorities for the skin investor and EPC contractor. The veryLivoltek BESS 261 kW·year vikoristafive independent equals of protection:

• Reliable LFP battery elements class A+with a stable chemical structure – without metal lithium, with high resistance to reloading.
• Bigator electrical protection system BMSwith cascade insulation: protection from overvoltage and undervoltage, protection from overvoltage and short circuit, control imbalance between elements and temperature conditions.
• Three-level fire suppression system (FSS – Fire Suppression System): aerosol fire suppression system on the level of the module, water fire suppression system and vibrating valves for safe removal of combustibles gas.

Scalability and flexibility of design

One ​​systemBESS 261 kW year – this is a simpler configuration. The system supports parallel connection of up to 10 units, which allows reaching a total capacity of 2.6 MW year and pressure 1.25 MWwithout the need for an additional supply unit for power supply, in addition to the standard alternating power supply (AC).

Mode Seamless supports parallel robot up to 5 installations, ensuring uninterrupted life during the transition between modes roboti.

This flexibility allows EPC companies to design solutions – from commercial and industrial (C&I) systems to small objectsutility-scale, vikorystyuchi that same type of equipment and however, commissioning procedures.

An alternative solution is the All-in-One hybrid system for the C&I sector and solar power plants

SeriesLumin Block H is a hybrid energy storage system in architecture All-in-One combines in one solution a hybrid inverter, battery modulesLFPbased on elementsREPT and implementationsSTS (Static Transfer Switch). Therefore, the system will ensure switching between on-grid and off-grid modes in approximately 10 ms. 400;”>, guaranteeing uninterrupted power supply.

The system is available in a number of configurations for strength and space, which allows you to select the optimal solution to suit your specific needs project.
