Optimization and Control of Battery Systems: Lithium-Ion and Vanadium Redox Flow Technologies

The presentation discusses the optimization and control mechanisms related to battery technology, specifically focusing on lithium-ion batteries and vanadium redox flow batteries. The presentation emphasizes local optimization efforts through parameter adjustments and verification processes involving inverters. It highlights the significance of thermal coupling for effective guidance or cooling of these battery systems, which is crucial for maintaining high performance levels. This process involves a series of confirmations that are essential for ensuring optimal functionality over time. The narrative suggests that understanding these parameters allows one to observe improvements in system efficiency and reliability continuously. Additionally, it implies an ongoing effort towards enhancing energy storage solutions by refining existing technologies like lithium-ion batteries with advanced confirmation techniques to ensure they meet modern demands efficiently while also exploring new avenues such as thermal management strategies within this context.

Battery storage systems consist of three main components: battery (including BMS), conversion unit (inverter), and controller (EMS). The EMS was used to simply calculate target values for the inverter, based on power meter readings, and to monitor inverters and battery's functionality. Today, it also controls or optimizes other devices in a local energy system, such as EV chargers and heat pumps. Modern EMSs optimize assets for multiple use cases (e.g., solar self-consumption, grid usage, dynamic tariffs). Learn more about the latest trends, including the use of AI in energy management systems for battery storage.

While predictive maintenance has become a well-known concept in battery energy storage, the next step is predictive operation. This approach aims not only to prevent failures, but also to continuously optimize system operation in real time. The goal is to maximize the performance, efficiency and lifetime of the existing hardware in each specific use case. Predictive operation extends beyond the battery cells themselves: Adaptive thermal management, intelligent inverter control and optimal coordination of power electronics all play a crucial role. By anticipating system behavior under different operating scenarios, predictive operation enables asset owners and operators to extract greater value from their storage systems while improving reliability and integration with renewable generation. This session will highlight the latest methods, control strategies and demonstration results that bring predictive operation from research into practice.
