A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical device that charges (or collects energy) from the grid or a power plant and then discharges that energy at a later time to provide electricity or other grid services when needed.
Different lithium battery chemistries require specific charging approaches to maximize performance and safety. For example, lithium cobalt batteries typically charge to 4.2 volts per cell during the constant voltage phase, requiring precise voltage regulation to prevent damage.
Lithium charge requires a two-stage process involving constant current followed by constant voltage phases. The charging process varies depending on battery chemistry, with lithium iron phosphate batteries requiring different voltage parameters than lithium cobalt batteries.
For example, a battery with 1 MW of power capacity and 4 MWh of usable energy capacity will have a storage duration of four hours. Cycle life/lifetime is the amount of time or cycles a battery storage system can provide regular charging and discharging before failure or significant degradation.
Most lithium batteries should not be discharged below 10-15% state of charge, as deeper discharges can cause irreversible capacity loss and potentially damage the battery's internal structure.
Proper charging requires using the right chargers, monitoring temperature, avoiding overcharging, and maintaining charge levels between 20-80% for optimal longevity. Understanding these fundamentals helps ensure safe operation while extending battery life across applications from portable electronics to electric vehicles and energy storage systems.
