2 XOLTA BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM OVERVIEW:

2.1 Introduction

The XOLTA outdoor BESS is a modular, cloud-connected multipurpose stationary energy storage system.

The BESS was designed for a wide range of ambient temperature conditions which makes it suitable for

outdoor installation without any additional enclosure. The system is designed for various operation modes

(applications) which will be further described in Chapter 4.

The main features of the XOLTA outdoor BESS are:

• PLUG AND PLAY: Simple installation and commissioning. The system requires grid connection, internet

and electric meter connections.

• ALL IN ONE: All components of the system are integrated into a single cabinet. This includes the battery

cells, the power conditioning system (PCS), the thermal management system (TMS), the battery management

system (BMS), the multi battery rack control system and the energy management system.

• OUTDOOR OPERATION CAPABILITY: The mechanical casing of the system was designed to be effective

up to enclosure rating IP55 (dust and water jet ingress).

 • MODULARITY:Thestoragesystempowerandenergycanbeexpandedandtailoredtospecicneeds.Intotal,

up to 32 XOLTA battery racks can be connected and operated in parallel providing up to 1MW and 2.5MWh.

• MULTIPURPOSE: The system is designed for various applications, from the integration of renewable energy

(e.g. increasing renewable self-consumption) up to various grid support applications (e.g. frequency and

voltage support).

• XOLTA CLOUD CONNECTION: The system is integrated with the XOLTA Cloud. It allows for system monitoring,

advanced control, data acquisition, and data storage.

• SAFETY: The system is designed to offer exceptionally high operational safety. For example, the system is

2.2 Hardware description

In this section, different hardware components of the XOLTA outdoor BESS are described. Figure 2.1 presents

the schematic drawing of the XOLTA outdoor BESS.

Each rack (battery cabinet) of the XOLTA outdoor BESS consists of eight serially connected battery packs

(as seen in Figure 2.1. All battery cells are protected by Lithium Balance’s n-BMS.

Figure 2.2:

Illustration of the

XOLTA outdoor BESS

BPU front view

Each XOLTA outdoor BESS has a battery protection unit (BPU). Figure 2.2 is an illustration of the BPU

consisting of a communication section and a power section.

The site controller is installed in the BPU and is connected to the XOLTA Cloud using the Ethernet port shown

in Figure 2.2. The Ethernet port ensures communcation between neighboring racks if operating in unison.

The site controller communicates with Lithium Balance’s n-BMSs via the CAN bus.

The DB9 Modbus port is used for communication with peripherals (e.g. energy meters).

The RJ45 port marked SPI is used for communication between the n-BMS MCU and the n-BMS CMUs (which

are located in battery packs). An additional DB15 plug is used for activation of the thermal management

system, sensing outdoor air temperature, LED diodes control and communication with the humidity sensor-

The Modbus TCP port is used for communication with the power conditioning unit (PCS) and communication

with neighboring racks if operating in unison.

The BPU is powered by single phase 230V AC and is protected by a 1.5A fuse located in the power entry connector.

2.3 System safety

2.3.1 Safety measures

The XOLTA outdoor BESS is protected by Lithium Balance’s state of the art n-BMS. The system

monitors essential parameters of the battery system (cell voltage, current, temperature) to

ensure safe operation. The n-BMS also monitors the battery main parameters, e.g. State of Charge

(SoC) and performs battery cell balancing to ensure maximal energy utilization and performance.

The XOLTA outdoor BESS is equipped with a battery protection unit (BPU) which protects the

battery and the inverter from conditions which can be detrimental to the BESS. It includes redundant

relays controlled by the n-BMS and redundant fast battery fuses.

In addition, in order to assure system longevity and safe operation (maintaining correct operating

temperatures), each of the XOLTA outdoor BESS battery packs is equipped with 12 temperature

sensors (two sensors per battery module). These give a total of 96 temperature sensors per battery

rack. This number of temperature sensors allows for quick detection of local temperature gradients

and thus ensures system safety and equal cell performance during the system lifetime. Furthermore,

temperature sensors are located on all battery safety-related PCBs

The thermal performance of the XOLTA outdoor BESS is also monitored by the site controller and

allows for power/current derating whenever the cell temperature or the ambient temperature is

outside a strictly determined range. The site controller also allows for converter error handling and

automatic connection/disconnection of battery racks.
