Identification of Technological Limitations of a Battery Energy Storage System

One of the components of the VPP virtual power plant is electrical energy storage. Depending on the chosen technology, the storage has specific advantages and disadvantages, risks and limitations. The most frequently chosen technology is battery energy storage based on lithiumion batteries. The article presents the structure and principle of operation of lithium-ion batteries and presents a summary of the existing risks and limitations based on the literature. A sample test of energy storage with different capacities and charging characteristics is shown.
