The application of batteries for domestic energy storage is not only an attractive ‘clean’ option to grid supplied electrical energy, but they are on the verge of offering economic advantages to consumers through maximising the use of renewable generation or by 3rd parties using the battery to provide grid services.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS): Within the context of this document, this is taken to mean the products or equipment as placed on the market and will generally include the integrated batteries, power conversion and control.
Batteries are an important part of the global energy system today and are poised to play a critical role in secure clean energy transitions. In the transport sector, they are the essential component in the millions of electric vehicles sold each year. In the power sector, battery storage is the fastest growing clean energy technology on the market.
A domestic battery energy storage system (BESS) is part of the electrical installation in residential buildings. Examples of standards that cover electrical installations in residential buildings include the HD 60364 series from CENELEC.
A domestic battery energy storage system (BESS) typically includes the following components: battery subsystem, enclosure, power conversion subsystem, control subsystem, auxiliary subsystem, and connection terminal (Figure 1). The power conversion subsystem (PCS) plays a crucial role in the transfer of energy to and from the electrical supply.
Battery manufacturing is an energy intensive activity that would face steep industrial electricity prices without government support. Energy Intensive Industries (EIIs) in the UK currently benefit from 2 financial relief schemes that aim to reduce the cumulative impact of some energy and climate change policies on industrial electricity prices.
