Container Battery Energy Storage System: AC vs DC Decision White Paper

Large-scale adoption and implementation of batteries for waterborne transport is mainly limited by the high costs of the battery systems and their electrical integration. New innovative solutions need to be developed to drive down the costs. By introducing the containerized Battery Energy Storage, the target is to adopt a solution to maximize the energy content in the fixed footprint of a 20-foot equivalent sized structure. A containerized Battery Energy Storage can electrically be built as a solution where the electrical output is AC voltage or DC voltage. This white paper introduces the differences of both AC voltage and DC voltage solution. It will guide the reader with arguments on the benefits and drawbacks with the different systems with conclusion towards the DC voltage solution.
