What are energy storage systems (ESS)?

This is where energy storage systems (ESS) play a critical role. By storing excess electricity and discharging it when needed, ESS helps bridge the gap between variable renewable generation and consistent energy demand.

Why did EPCO develop a battery monitoring & diagnostic system?

To address the safety concerns, KEPCO took proactive steps to develop an innovative monitoring and diagnostic system. Instead of relying solely on battery manufacturers to resolve safety issues, KEPCO sought to empower ESS operators with real-time insights into battery health and performance.

Why do we need a battery management system (BMS)?

This in turn poses a greater need for battery management systems (BMS). BMS is the first line of defense to monitor, balance and optimize the battery health & performance in real-time, allowing improved power system eficiency, lifetime and safety of battery applications.

What is a battery monitoring system (BIMS)?

BiMS is an advanced monitoring and diagnostic system that continuously analyzes lithium-ion battery voltage, current, and temperature data. By leveraging real-time data acquisition and predictive analytics, it enables precise assessment of battery health and enhances overall ESS reliability.
