Digital technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain help the development of battery energy storage systems

　　With the rapid development of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, the use, quantity and benefits of battery energy storage systems are exponentially expanding.

　　These complementary mechanisms have improved the performance and cost of battery energy storage systems.

　　In the United Kingdom, some companies have proposed a "shared grid" plan, and battery energy storage customers who have passed the qualification review can register and receive cash. According to this plan, the company can intelligently manage their batteries to help them balance the grid.

　　As the company's website explains, the shared power grid is “each battery has artificial intelligence built into it to analyze the energy (or reserve capacity) stored by each user”. Participants are usually rewarded with a fixed annual fee or a portion of their total income. "

　　Tenne, a European transmission system operator that mainly serves Germany and the Netherlands, is exploring ways to integrate the capacity of electric vehicle batteries into the grid. In a pilot project in the Netherlands, the renewable energy company Vandebron helped TenneT balance the grid with a customer-supplied car battery. The blockchain will track the availability of each car's battery and record its response to the actions and reactions of the grid operator.

　　This effort is considered groundbreaking because it uses blockchain technology in a novel way to create a highly responsive, licensed network. This blockchain is usually associated with a direct transaction platform and is often used as a virtual ledger.

　　Lithium-ion battery (LIB) has become the main energy storage solution in modern social life. Among them, lithium iron phosphate batteries are a perfect replacement for lead-acid batteries, and they are the first choice for grid-connected peak shaving, off-grid energy storage, photovoltaic energy storage, UPS, data center and other industries.

　　Digital technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain are not far away from batteries. They can assist batteries well.
