High-performance advanced batteries are under development in both the United States and Japan for use in load leveling on utility networks. A battery energy storage system for load leveling is basically composed of three components: strings of batteries, a power conditioning system, and a control and power distribution management system. A load-leveling system for utility networks must be capable of fulfilling the unique requirements of each plant site. Among the requirements that vary by site are the storage capacity, the demand patterns of the users, cost factors, and environmental features. The selection of the power conditioning system is particularly influenced by the local requirements. The primary function of the power conditioning system is to convert and transfer off-peak electric energy to stored energy, then to convert and retrieve the stored energy when it is required. In addition, the power conditioning system provides protection for the battery strings and the electrical components by preventing inadvertent surge current and catastrophic shorting.
