Battery Storage Technology Cables
Battery Storage is growing in importance for a number of industries, playing a key role in emerging technologies.
Primarily linked to Renewable energy generation to E-mobility infrastructure installations, battery storage technology and battery energy storage systems (BESS) are helping to strengthen our sustainable energy infrastructure.
Battery energy storage systems support national power network grid optimisation by stabilising and balancing the outflow. It is part of a wider move to smarter and more efficient grid technology. It is not just national power grids that look to BESS - it is increasingly chosen by large scale industrial installations. In many cases, the combination of size and weight reduction alongside capacity increase makes BESS a viable commercial option when set against rising energy demands and increasing grid volatility. The associated green credentials of optimising power usage also support the application.
On a smaller scale, microgeneration battery storage technology (also referred to as Energy storage systems or thermal stores) is allowing home and business owners to control their own energy consumption, combining with solar PV to provide power on demand rather than having to export excess to the grid.
BESS Cable Manufacturing Specifications
Eland cables offers a range of cables, such as the FHL2G and FHLR2GCB2G cables compatible with battery storage including:
- LFP battery: lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO battery or LFP battery). Common applications include vehicle use, utility-scale stationary applications including domestic PV installations, and backup power.
- Sodium Nickel battery: Sodium-nickel chloride battery (Na-NiCl2) with applications in EVs, HEVs (hybrid electric vehicle), trucks, buses and vans, as well as stationary field and distributed renewable generators (micro wind turbines and large PV plants).
- NMC battery: Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides (abbreviated Li-NMC, LNMC or NMC) used widely in major car manufacturer EV brands including BMW i8, Audi e-tron GE, BMW i3, Chevrolet Bolt, Hyundai Kona Electric, Jaguar I-Pace, Nissan Leaf, Renault ZOE, and the VW e-Golf.
- NCA battery: Lithium nickel cobalt aluminium oxides (NCA): Used by Tesla in their EV model traction batteries.
