Cells & modules
Cells store energy electrochemically. Modules and packs organise cells into usable assemblies with electrical and thermal connections.
Official supplier overviewTECHNOLOGY / EXPLAINED
From lithium cells to useful power.
A battery is one part of a larger energy system. Understand the components before comparing products or project proposals.
THE SYSTEM VIEW
Management & conversion
The battery management system monitors operating conditions. A power conversion system controls electrical exchange with the site or grid.
Official system resourcesControls & integration
Energy management, protection, metering and connection equipment help translate a battery into a site-specific installation.

Our editorial framework for evaluating a storage concept. Product selection depends on application-specific evidence.
| Question | What to compare | What to ask for |
|---|---|---|
| How much power? | MW or kW at the delivery boundary | Continuous rating, peak limits and site connection capacity |
| For how long? | MWh or kWh delivered over the required duration | Usable capacity, reserve and end-of-life assumptions |
| Which chemistry? | LFP, nickel-based lithium chemistries or non-lithium alternatives | Application suitability, warranty conditions and temperature limits |
| How is the system operated? | Duty cycle, controls, thermal management and maintenance | Validated design, protection strategy and performance model |
LFP is part of the lithium family.
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) is a lithium-ion chemistry. Chemistry alone does not establish system safety, warranty life or performance. System design, installation and operation remain material considerations.
Read the IEA storage overview for market context. The planner uses your assumptions rather than assigning generic performance guarantees to a chemistry.
Why is power different from energy?
A 10 MW load running for four hours uses 40 MWh. The delivery boundary matters: stored DC energy and energy delivered to an AC load are not interchangeable without loss assumptions.
Does a storage planner select equipment?
No. This planner produces a transparent starting scenario. It does not evaluate equipment certification, grid services, fire design, degradation or suitability for a particular location.
