Energy Storage
Stable, safe and cost effective way to store energy and ensure the maximum amount of battery life with near zero losses
Today, battery management systems charge batteries without precision control of electricity and rely on voltage and temperature sensors for feedback. But what do these metrics really measure?
To know the potential of any energy storage requires insight into the working chemistry of the batteries and that is absent in the current market solutions.
Every battery is unique no matter how uniform the manufacturing process. Each battery has different upper and lower thresholds depending on dozens of varying parameters in the creation of the battery. Despite the variances among batteries, existing technologies manage batteries in series, treating them all the same and eroding the capacity and life expectancy of the energy storage.
These are not small problems
Without precision control of the electricity and without having battery chemistry feedback when charging or discharging the batteries, the charge cycles are done with blind, brute force. The internal chemistry does not react favorably and degrades the efficiency and capacity of the batteries which consumers notice as heat and an inability to hold a charge. Companies use a variety of cooling techniques to evacuate the heat, but the damage is on going.
Why this matters?
Not knowing what is going on with the working chemistry inside the batteries leaves us blind to workings of each battery when charging/discharging.
This wastes energy and batteries but more importantly, it is unsafe.
Without stable, efficient, cost effective, and safe energy storage, Renewables are limited in their ability to replace the more stable fossil fuel based technologies.
Our Approach to Energy Storage
3DFS has taken an innovative approach to energy storage by individually managing each battery in parallel while precisely controlling electricity during charging and discharging of batteries. Precise measurement of the electrical output is fed through a mathematical model that maps and stores the unique behavior of each battery providing a real time mathematical mirroring of the internal chemistry of the batteries. This insight allows the BMS to exact control curves for each battery and precisely follow them, yielding unprecedented dynamic control over energy storage. This approach is battery chemistry agnostic.
Coordinated Innovation
Maintaining precision control of electricity allows 3DFS technology to efficiently charge and discharge batteries at ideal maximums and minimums. Individually managing the batteries in this manner provides maximum efficiency and increases the number of charge cycles by 2-3x.
Battery Management and Analysis
The ability to connect the batteries in parallel dramatically improves the stability of the energy storage system. The 3DFS BMS can digitally withdraw a battery from service and run restorative charging/discharging cycles and automatically reinsert without service disruption.
