Utility-scale batterie s are being added to solar and wind to address the intermittency of renewa ble technologies. This presentation will look at challenges in scaling the battery applications to larger and longer durations. A key challenge in s caling BESS to utility applications is managing the specifics of the DC sy stems. When using Li-Ion technology\, DC fault currents can approach unrea sonable levels\, in many cases exceeding equipment ratings. This discussio n will focus on solutions and mitigation techniques that can be used in sc aling battery projects to desirable levels.\n\nI see a bright future for B ESS\, with applications today at distribution levels with current technolo gy\, but moving into electric transmission (> 69 kV) applications as the t echnology develops. To allow battery storage to have a major impact to cha nge the way we look at electric power\, we need battery systems to scale t o sizes and durations that meet our needs. The methods discussed here will allow us to develop BESS technology and fundamentally change how power sy stems operate.\n\nSpeaker(s): Ian Hutt\, \n\nAgenda: \nSchedule:\n\nDate: February 12\, 2021\n\nPlace: Virtual using Webex\n\nTime: 3:00 pm EST/EDT (login at 2:45 pm EST/EDT)\n\n2:45 to 3:10 pm: Introductions\, networking\ n\n3:10 to 4:00 pm: Main topic/Speaker Iain Hutt\n\n4:00 to 4:45 pm: Discu ssions\, Q&A\n\n4:45 to 5:00 pm\; Wrap up\, Conclusion\n\nVirtual: https:/ /events.vtools.ieee.org/m/255812 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/255812 ORGANIZER:sharan.kalwani@ieee.org SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Challenges of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/255812 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Utility-scale solar is gaining momentum wi th installed cost drops and environmental and regulatory attractiveness.
