Battery Technology

Battery technology is critical to energy demand management and electric vehicle technologies. Energy storage is critical to reducing dependence of real-time energy generation. The gap between intermittant clean generation and demand-side response will be filled by efficient battery technology.

Total Connections has worked closely with battery technology companies to supply terminals and connection solutions. Whilst many new energy storage systems utilise standard electrical terminals and earthing products, we are working with a range of smart grid companies to provide bespoke terminals, busbars and earthing solutions. Our products are found in renewable energy storage projects as well as electric vehicles.

Battery Technology Case Study

TC was approached by a major battery storage manufacturer to fabricate parts used in their battery energy storage system (BESS). The manufacturer was developing a prototype system and was asking for our input into the design process for the busbars that connect the individual 300Ah battery cells as well as the jump leads that connect the battery units. The cell modules are designed to operate at over 1000V.

The busbars were far from standard - with some being made from laminated copper layers - a design that reduces both skin effect and noise produced by the inverter. The jump leads between the battery modules come complete with bespoke cable lugs at each end to allow for easy connection. Once again, Total Connections was involved from the start of the design process to produce essential components for this manufacturer.
