Storage battery types and applications
- NAS battery （Note: NAS battery is a registered trademark or product name of NGK Insulators, Ltd. and Tokyo Electric Power Company, Incorporated.)
- Application: Load leveling/ peak shaving, grid independent operation function, instantaneous voltage drop countermeasure (UPS) function, system stabilization (adjustment of frequency), etc.
- Redox flow (RF) battery
- Application: Load leveling/ peak shaving, grid independent operation function, grid stabilization, etc.
- Lithium ion (LiB) battery
- Application: Grid stabilization, load fluctuation suppression (mitigation of electric power fluctuation), etc.
- Lead storage battery
- Application: Stand-alone operation function, instantaneous voltage drop countermeasure (UPS) function, etc.
- Lithium ion capacitor
- Application: dynamic voltage compensation (DVC) by UPS, grid stabilization, load fluctuation suppression, utilization of regenerative power, etc.
Applications of the energy storage system
- Load leveling/ peak shaving:
- Cheap night-time power will be charged to the energy storage system and will be discharged during the daytime as peak-shaving. It is possible to reduce the contract power demand and peform the peak-shaving during the daytime power peak period.
- Stand-alone operation function:
- The power is supplied from the energy storage battery to load. This function provides features in which startup in a short time (up to 2 seconds) is possible and no soot and smoke is discharged compared to the diesel or gas turbine emergency power generator.
- Dynamic voltage compensation (DVC) function by UPS:
- It protects the load facilites on the power network against the Instantaneous voltage drop (power outage) . Because energy storage battery is equipped with large capacity, longer power interruption backup is available compared to normal UPS (5 to 30 minutes).
- Grid stabilization:
- Storage battery is charged and discharged to mitigate grid system voltage and grid system frequency. It is possible to supply reactive power in addition to effective power.
- Load fluctuation suppression:
- Storage battery is charged and discharged to mitigate fluctuation (sudden fluctuation) of the local load. It is possible to supply reactive power in addition to effective power. It is possible to reduce the starting current of load by combining with a private power generator, thus expanding the autonomous operation capacity of the generator.
- Utilization of regenerative power:
- Reverse power flow to the system is prevented by absorbing (charging) the regenerative power that occurs when electric motor decelerates. In addition, absorbed electric power is discharged when electric motor accelerates. This leads to energy saving.
