Energy storage systems
Design reliable and efficient energy storage systems with our battery management, sensing and power conversion technologies.
3 major design challenges to solve in battery energy storage systems
Solar and wind power bring renewable energy to the grid, but the imbalance between supply and demand is a major limitation to maximize their use. Although solar energy is abundantly available at noon, demand is not high enough at that time, so consumers pay more per watt.
The battery-management technology that will strengthen our grid
The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and the transition to more renewable energy sources are reducing our more-than-century-long reliance on fossil fuels. Electric utilities are increasingly turning to solar panels and wind turbines rather than natural gas-fueled turbines to generate the electricity needed to charge EVs, as well as help power our homes and businesses. Together, these trends are poised to bring us closer to a sustainable energy future.
Scaling accurate battery management designs across energy storage systems
In energy storage system (ESS) applications, it is challenging to efficiently manage the number of batteries required to scale energy storage demand. For example, in utility-scale (1- to 2-kV) systems, there can be over 300 lithium-ion cells in series that each require accurate monitoring to determine the state-of-charge estimations, as well as protections to identify the need for maintenance or detect fault conditions.
TIDA-010271
This is a full cell-temperature sensing and high cell voltage accuracy Lithium-ion (Li-ion), lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery pack (32s) reference design. The design monitors each cell voltage, cell temperature and protects the battery pack to secure safe use.

The transition to renewable energy sources and buildout of EV chargers impact our grid infrastructure. Learn from Samuel Wong, TI's vice president of Battery Management Solutions, and Richard Zhang, Virginia Tech professor of power electronics, as they discuss how technology improvements in battery systems are leading to energy storage adoption and helping to strengthen our grid.
