* 출력안정성 향상 및 배터리 수명연장 * Improved output stability and extended battery life

- 기존의 ESS 배터리의 경우 한 종류의 배터리시스템으로 출력용량이 배터리 사양으로 국한됨- Existing ESS batteries are one type of battery system, and the output capacity is limited to the battery specifications.

- 보통의 ESS에 사용되는 배터리의 경우 설치비용의 부담으로 인하여 고가의 고출력 셀을 사용하기 어려움- In the case of batteries used in normal ESS, it is difficult to use expensive high-output cells due to the burden of installation cost

- 주 출력은 주 배터리가 부담하며, 순간적인 과부하나 돌입전류 등에 의한 배터리 충격을 고출력 Ni-MH 배터리가 완화하여 출력 안정 및 배터리 수명을 향상 시킬 수 있음 - The main output is borne by the main battery, and the high-output Ni-MH battery can mitigate the battery impact caused by momentary overload or inrush current to improve output stability and battery life.

* 설치 면적의 축소화 가능* Possible to reduce the installation area

- ESS의 사용특성에 따라 사용시간은 짧으나 최대 출력용량 산정으로 인하여 많은 용량의 배터리를 설치하는 경우가 있음(UPS, 풍력발전출력안정화용)- Depending on the usage characteristics of the ESS, the usage time is short, but due to the calculation of the maximum output capacity, there are cases where a battery with a large capacity is installed (UPS, for stabilizing the output of wind power generation)
