   ESA ENERGY STORAGE ANNUAL CONFERENCE & EXPO
 April 8th-10th, 2020
David L. Lawrence Convention Center Pittsburgh, PA
esacon.org
The ESA Energy Storage Annual Conference & Expo (#ESACon20) is the premier gathering of decision makers, leaders, and stakeholders from throughout the industry who know that energy storage is integral to the planning and development of all types of energy systems, and who are actively part of the storage industry’s rapid growth.

 Features just some of the companies and technologies attendees will see at this year’s show.
         Decision analysis tools
Ascend Analytics provides the energy industry with analysis tools which enable optimal decisions from the next hour to the next decade and beyond. Their enterprise- ready analytic platform provides for integrated physical and financial
decisions. The BatterySimm valuation tool identifies configurations and operating strategies to maximize value for battery storage projects. BatterySimm finds the most cost-effective battery configuration for a given node or utility system, and discovers the optimal dispatch strategy by co-optimizing between energy and ancillary services. BatterySimm’s advanced algorithms help developers, investors, and utilities define and implement strategies to co-optimize the joint value for both energy and ancillary services markets. It has three different modules to maximize project value through any point of the project
life: optimal sizing for energy cycling capabilities and duration specifications; valuate projects under both perfect and imperfect foresight of energy and ancillary service prices; and determine optimal operating strategies for ISO bidding and integrated utility operations.

Utility-scale DC-to-DC converter
The UL 1741-listed DPS-500 is a 500kW DC- DC converter designed for utility-scale solar plus storage applications and has received the IEC 62109 certification from TUV. Up
to 8 DPS units can be paralleled together and it works with all central inverters.
The DPS-500 is also available as part of
a fully integrated energy storage system from Dynapower, complete with battery enclosure, thermal management, site controls, and batteries. Multiple integrated systems can be paralleled together.

Energy storage string inverter
LS Energy Solutions now offers the PowerBRiC as an outdoor rated Central inverter. The 1MW Central BRiC includes 8 PowerBRiCs, AC and DC protection, and has built in redundancy; if one 140kVA PowerBRiC module goes down, the Central BRiC automatically derates by this amount to achieve highest possible availability. Its patented paralleling capability also allows the Central BRiC
to be flexible on the DC side, users
can optimize battery configuration
by choosing from 1, 2, 4, or 8 separate
DC connections. Even though the
1MW configuration is a standard
offering, because of the flexibility of the PowerBRiC, LS Energy Solutions can offer other power sizes and configurations, both larger and smaller than 1MW.

ESS fuses
SIBA Fuses new 1500VDC 63-2000A ESS Fuses have been specifically designed and tested for the stringent requirements of ESS and have been utilized by large OEM’s globally. The fault conditions to the converter’s DC input side have very high short circuit current capability and very low inductance of the fault loop, yielding low L/R time constants <3ms. On the
AC side of the inverter SIBA is capable of meeting voltage applications up to 40.5kV with for bus protection, capacitor filters, PT transformers step-up transformers (SSK fuses specific for wind, solar, and energy storage applications) and switchgear with medium/high voltage fuses.

Unveiling the power of storage
Certainty in energy storage means confidence that a system will perform reliably and have a predictable life expectancy. The economic viability of the entire project is built on this reassurance. The 2019 Battery Performance Scorecard, based on battery testing in DNV GL’s Product Qualification Programs at its BEST Test and Commercialization Center in Rochester, NY, provides confidence
in the quickly growing global battery market and a roadmap for battery buyers to manage and operate specific battery technologies and estimate warranties and replacement costs. This second annual report includes more participants and data, new chemistries, as well as additional discussions on safety.

Cost-effective, versatile residential storage solution The Sunny Boy Storage is a single phase, AC-coupled battery inverter designed for parallel grid operation that can be used with high-voltage batteries in the SMA Energy System. Along with its ability to retrofit existing PV systems, it also delivers a cost effective and versatile residential storage solution. Backup power provides
a critical lifeline to families living in storm-prone regions, areas where natural disasters can occur, and places where the electrical grid is simply unreliable. In the event of a power outage, the SMA Energy System will instantaneously disconnect from the grid and provide seamless backup power to the entire home. The SMA Energy System, featuring the Sunny Boy Storage, can also be used in energy management applications to maximize self-consumption and offset time-of-use utility rates.
