Part 3, "Gain More Visibility into Your Energy Storage System", explores the pain points that energy storage system developers and operators can encounter in the field, and how to avoid designing these problems into your next ESS.
Enjoy these tutorial recordings of the Nuvation Energy battery management team exploring how energy storage system developers are utilizing the battery management system in system design and to gain greater control of their assets.
Over the past decade solar power plants have gained wide adoption due to dropping panel prices and the long-term cost advantages of solar over fossil fuel power generation.
Nate Wennyk shares our experience working with UL to create UL 1973 Recognized stack level solutions and working with system integrators to develop UL 1973 certifiable battery stacks.
Nuvation Energy’s high-voltage battery management system is the first BMS to obtain UL 1973 Recognition for use with various battery chemistries, and battery systems with different safety profiles.
In this final installment of the series we will put State of Charge (SoC) and Depth of Discharge (DoD) under the microscope. We'll also look at lead-acid battery management, and explore the concept of optimizing for cycle-count vs duration.
In part 3 we explore the difference between configuring a BMS for battery-level vs system-level operating parameters. We explain cell balancing, and put a lense on communications between the BMS and other controllers in the ESS.
Nuvation Energy’s battery management system can provide power to the contactor coils directly, which strengthens its reliability as a safety system by enabling it to de-energize the contactors.
In part 4 we discuss the role of the battery management system in preventing thermal runaway. We'll also explore the risks posed by undetected sense wire connection problems, and share a tip on how to reduce the risk of fused contactors.
