METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COUPLING AN ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM TO A VARIABLE ENERGY SUPPLY SYSTEM

摘要

A method for coupling an energy storage system to a variable energy supply system includes providing an energy storage system including at least one Vanadium redox battery and at least one battery charge controller ( 104). The method also includes electrically coupling the at least one battery charge controller to the variable energy supply system such that the at least one battery is configured to supply a substantially consistent energy output during fluctuating energy loads of the energy supply system.
