Energy storage lithium battery modified lithium electric drill

Can lithium-ion batteries be used in offshore oil and gas rigs?

Paper presented at the Offshore Technology Conference, Virtual and Houston, Texas, August 2021. This paper discusses applications for lithium-ion batteries in an offshore oil and gas environment and describes how battery packs/energy storage can be applied in hybrid, diesel-electric power plants to create low-emissions drilling rigs.

Which rigs use lithium-ion energy storage?

The solution has been installed on various marine vessels worldwide, including the West Mira ultra-deep semi-submersible, the world’s first low-emissions drilling rig to use lithium-ion energy storage.

Can energy storage improve the environmental sustainability of a drilling rig?

"The integration of energy storage with the power supply and distribution system of a drilling rig represents an important step towards improving the environmental sustainability of the offshore oil and gas industry," said Bjørn Einar Brath, Head of Offshore Solutions in Siemens.

What is a stationary lithium-ion battery energy storage (BES) facility?

Illustrative Configuration of a Stationary Lithium-Ion BES A stationary Battery Energy Storage (BES) facility consists of the battery itself, a Power Conversion System (PCS) to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), as necessary, and the “balance of plant” (BOP, not pictured) necessary to support and operate the system.

What is the largest lithium-ion battery installation in the world?

The Hornsdale Power Reserve, a 100 MW/129 MWh lithium-ion battery installation, is the largest lithium-ion BESS in the world, which has been in operation in South Australia since December 2017.

Could a nanostructure increase lithium-ion batteries' energy capacity?

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory developed “developed a unique nanostructure that limits silicon's expansion while fortifying it with carbon” that could be used to increase the energy capacity of lithium-ion batteries.
