The future of energy infrastructure relies on smart connectivity. Learn how our solutions support your energy needs across power generation, energy storage and charging infrastructure.
As municipalities seek to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate fluctuations and disturbances in the power grid, they are increasingly turning to growing infrastructure that generates and stores renewable energy. TE Connectivity’s (TE) Battery energy storage system (BESS) solutions, which improves power allocation flexibility in power generation, power transmission, and power consumption, help meet this increased demand for alternative energy sources.
Building the next generation of energy-efficient infrastructure for BESS will require innovations that increase system voltage, improve power density and provide overall system efficiency. TE offers deep industry expertise and a broad interconnect portfolio of BESS products – including relays, connectors, passives, switches and electrical products – to help solve these complex challenges. These flexible, high-performance components are critical to BESS applications such as solar inverters, power conversion systems, and battery management systems and provide smaller, faster, better and safer connectivity in harsh environments.
Watch the video to learn how TE solutions answer some of the biggest challenges BESS customers face as they meet the smaller, faster, and safer connectivity that the renewable energy industry demands.
Central inverters are for applications such as large arrays installed on buildings, industrial facilities as well as field installations – usually on large scale. They are working in conditions where high-power DC conversion, high voltage and current switching are requirements.
TE’s connectivity solutions that can resist in harsh environments such as extreme temperatures, high voltage and current shocks, provide for fast and reliable switching capability, empowering a high degree of smart and intelligent operation and maintenance in power plants.
A string inverter is the type most commonly used in home and commercial solar power systems.
A more reliable, safe, fast and better connectivity help ensured by TE’s products and solutions make it easier for a string solar inverter to achieve high design flexibility, high efficiency and robustness even in a harsh environment.
Power conversion system (PCS) is a critical component of any successful energy storage system. AC/DC and DC/AC conversion are done in PCS, which requires reliable connectivity to protect the safety of each module and battery pack in the PCS and make sure the PCS work efficiently without interruption.
Lithium- batteries are commonly used in residential energy storage systems, called battery management system which provides the optimal use of the residual energy present in a battery.
TE's solutions and design resources for a battery management system (BMS), help you to overcome your design challenges and support your success in developing more efficient, safer and more reliable connectivity in BMS for electrical management protection from extreme high voltage and current.
