Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for electrically coupling energy storage devices to an external load or power source. Examples of such coupling include connecting energy storage devices to an electric power grid using a power conversion system with suitable characteristics including, for example, active/real power and reactive power control capabilities, response time, current, voltage, phase, frequency, fault protection and/or information exchange protocols. The power conversion system can include an inverter.
Claims19
A power system, comprising:
- an energy storage device comprising at least one electrochemical cell having a negative electrode, a positive electrode and an electrolyte between said negative and positive electrodes, wherein said energy storage device is configured for self-heating;
- and
- a power conversion unit in electrical communication with said energy storage device and an external load or power source, wherein said power conversion unit is configured to bring said energy storage device in electrical communication with said external load or power source in accordance with one or more performance characteristics of said energy storage device, which one or more performance characteristics include active power (P) and reactive power (Q) control, response time, current, voltage, phase, frequency, fault protection and information exchange.
