Protection against overload and short circuits in BESS applications
The growing world population requires improved energy efficiency. For this reason, direct current applications in intelligent power grids (smart grids) are being considered. With this change, the requirements for products and technologies are also changing.
In the early days of electrical development, electricity was mainly generated by rotating machines, which is why alternating current (AC) was the preferred form of energy. However, with the emergence and gradual spread of renewable energy sources, coupled with the increasing use of direct current (DC), there is a noticeable transition from AC to DC.
As a result of this changing environment, the protection requirements for electrical circuits are subject to change. The range of products for direct current (DC) is still limited, which has prevented a definitive solution from being established. However, this presentation will explain the basic criteria for alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) and the limits within which these systems operate.
The presentation provides a comprehensive overview of possible solutions to protect circuits in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) applications. In addition, insights into different DC networks and possible faults will be provided to enable an informed selection of the most suitable protection device for your specific application.
