Solar container communication station lithium-ion battery system principle

Can lithium-ion batteries be used for energy storage?

Novelty relies on IoT, mid-scale LiB, alerts, real conditions and interoperability. Long-term (two years) experimental results prove the suitability of the proposal. Energy storage through Lithium-ion Batteries (LiBs) is acquiring growing presence both in commercially available equipment and research activities.

What are lithium-ion batteries & how do they work?

Energy storage through Lithium-ion Batteries (LiBs) is acquiring growing presence both in commercially available equipment and research activities. Smart power grids, e.g. smart grids and microgrids, also take advantage of LiBs to deal with the intermittency of renewable energy sources and to provide stable voltage.

How much energy does a lithium ion battery absorb during night?

During night, the energy extracted from the LiB is 146 Wh (with negative values in the image), whereas the maximum energy absorbed by the battery is 627.13 Wh at 13:00 of the second studied day. Besides, as it was stated for Fig. 12, once the SOC is 100%, the LiB current is null and there is no input/output energy.

What is a lithium ion battery?

Lithium-ion Batteries (LiBs) are gaining market presence and R&D efforts. Internet of Things (IoT) is applied to deploy real time monitoring system for a LiB. The LiB acts as backbone of microgrid with photovoltaic energy and hydrogen. Novelty relies on IoT, mid-scale LiB, alerts, real conditions and interoperability.
