Green Trade Barriers: Due to increased investment in localized supply chains, Chinese energy storage companies aim to export battery cells, despite geopolitical opponents and trade policy uncertainties.
However, many systems remain idle, and the grid-scale BESS utilization rate is only 30 % of the intended hours. Many Chinese storage companies may fail due to fierce competition, but this could provide opportunities for sustainable growth strategies (Shang and Mackenzie, 2024).
Energy storage systems, consisting of racks of battery modules regulated by management software, help national electricity networks — as well as individual homes, businesses and factories — cope with fluctuating wind and solar energy supplies.
The key advantage of energy storage in this functionality is the high degree of flexibility and the speed of response (Chatzigeorgiou et al., 2024). The BESS keeps the transmission and distribution load below the design and operation maximum level.
Integrating power electronics with energy storage systems offers the opportunity to reduce energy costs, achieve a cleaner energy mix, improve performance, and improve safety. (Blinov and Williamson, 2022). Electric power converters: Power converters are critical components in power electronics.
