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 a high-voltage ESS?

Most high-voltage ESS consist of multiple battery modules (BMUs) to manage and scale a system for site-specific requirements. Within a BMU, MPS’s battery monitoring and protection devices can be used as a comprehensive analog front-end (AFE) to accurately measure up to 16 series Li-ion battery cells.

Why do we need high voltage cables?

High voltage cables are increasingly used across Europe. All over our continent and around the world, stakeholders are increasingly turning to underground and subsea cables to overcome challenges and obstacles linked to grid interconnectivity and expansion.

Why are large power transformers (LPTs) important?

Large power transformers (LPTs) are critical components of the U.S. electric grid, vital for both energy and national security. Currently, more than 80 percent of LPTs are imported, with lead times of up to five years.

Why is 525 kV a good power supply?

525 kV allows a reduced quantity of cable to transmit the same power (if compared for example to ±320 kV), requiring less space, less trenches and less civil works to install the system, while also increasing the overall benefit for large projects.
