Summary:
|
Energy storage systems (ESS) are increasingly deployed in diverse regions, including outdoor and remote locations, where physical access is limited and environmental conditions are challenging. Container-type ESS, designed to be modular and relocatable for such scenarios, face challenges such as energy loss, fire risk, and maintenance difficulties due to constrained operating conditions and limited accessibility for on-site management. Moreover, current approaches that focus on maintaining an ideal temperature range often result in inefficient energy performance in outdoor environments, as they increase the energy consumption of internal subsystems such as cooling units. To improve this, flexible management that can adapt to external environmental changes without harming the safety of battery systems is required. However, such adaptive control is difficult to implement in container-type ESS due to their limited physical and computational resources.
To ensure reliable and energy-efficient ESS operation in varying conditions, a management system is needed to support container-type ESS. This system includes a remote management system that enables real-time status monitoring, remote diagnostics, and centralized supervisory control. A standardized and centralized remote management system can support to ensure adaptive system behavior, interoperability across different vendors, and effective integration with monitoring and control infrastructures. This draft Recommendation aims to specify reference architecture and functional requirements of management system. It also provides use cases reflecting operational scenarios to enable reliable and energy-efficient operation, particularly under extreme environmental conditions.
By establishing a standardized management system architecture, this work supports the development of intelligent and efficient energy infrastructure for deployment in varying environments. It aligns with the goals of ITU-T Study Group 5 in promoting sustainable and resilient energy systems, and contributes to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy).
