Whenever possible, using a single string of lithium cells is usually the preferred configuration for a lithium ion battery pack as it is the lowest cost and simplest. However, sometimes it may be necessary to use multiple strings of cells. Here are a few reasons that parallel strings may be necessary:
In the above configuration, two “8S1P” strings are paralleled together. With perfectly matched and perfectly balanced 10 amp hour, 3.3 volt cells, the above configuration would have a total of 20 amp hours and 26.4 volts. However, in reality, the total usable capacity of this pack will be less than 20 amp hours.
A single weak or bad cell can exponentially lower the capacity of the entire battery pack. A properly engineered system can improve the overall reliability, but only when additional equipment and significant engineering time is invested. Whenever possible, a single string set-up should be considered.
In the above example, 8 cells are configured in a single string. This is an “8S1P” configuration. The “8S” indicates that there are 8 cells in series and the “1P” indicates that there are no paralleled cells. If each cell is 10 amp hours and 3.3 volts, the battery pack above would be 10 amp hours and 26.4 volts (3.3 volts x 8 cells).
The business case for battery energy storage difers by application and by use case. “Prosumers” (producers–consumers) can calculate the payback period of a home energy storage system from the spread between the cost of producing and storing rooftop solar power and the cost of purchasing electricity from the local utility.
Lithium secondary batteries store 150–250 watt-hours per kilogram (kg) and can store 1.5–2 times more energy than Na–S batteries, two to three times more than redox flow batteries, and about five times more than lead storage batteries. Charge and discharge eficiency is a performance scale that can be used to assess battery eficiency.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%.
