What are the parameters of a battery energy storage system?

Several important parameters describe the behaviors of battery energy storage systems. Capacity [Ah]: The amount of electric charge the system can deliver to the connected load while maintaining acceptable voltage.

What is a high voltage box?

Secondly, the high voltage box carries out the high voltage management in the vehicle, and especially the energy distribution from the high voltage battery to the consumers plus providing the DC charging function at high power charging points with a three-digit kW level of charging power. Thirdly, it powers the traditional 12-V net.

What is a modular high voltage box?

Modular extensions are conceivable, such as a high voltage DC booster, the charging communication, a high voltage heater, and the battery management system. The modular high voltage box saves space, weight and cost, for instance on the housing and cabling levels.

How a battery energy storage system works?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS). The operation mechanism is based on the movement of lithium-ions. Damping the variability of the renewable energy system and providing time shifting. Duration of PV integration: 15 minutes – 4 hours. storage). BESS can provide fast response (milliseconds) and emission-free operation.

Why do we need more wide bandgap ICS in high voltage box electronics?

Wide bandgap materials such as SiC and GaN offer future potential, on the one hand to further reduce the spatial envelope, on the other hand to further increase efficiency which is why the application of more WBG ICs in the high voltage box electronics is already being prepared.

Can a wide bandgap transistor be used for Electromobility?

Vitesco Technologies is presenting a new approach to the system architecture of charging and conversion electronics with its high voltage box prepared for series model application. Wide bandgap transistors are increasingly relevant for this approach. Electromobility brings with it both hope and challenges.
