1.Which types of battery cells are used by RiTWIN?+

As a professional battery module manufacturer, RiTWIN Technology’s core strength lies in its battery expertise and extensive experience in multi-chemistry cell applications.

Ritwin has utilized a wide range of battery cell types, including:

l Li-ion Cells (Lithium-Ion / NCM / NCA)

l LFP Cells (Lithium Iron Phosphate)

l Lead-Acid Cells

l SIB Cells (Sodium-Ion Batteries)

l SSB Cells (Solid-State Batteries)

l LTO Cells (Lithium Titanate)

l Ni-MH Cells (Nickel-Metal Hydride)

l Alkaline Cells

2.Common terminology in ESS+

l (SOC (State of Charge):
Indicates the remaining battery capacity as a percentage of its total capacity.

l SOH (State of Health):
Represents the battery’s overall health, showing the ratio of its current capacity and performance compared to a new battery (e.g., 90% SOH means 10% degradation).

l DOD (Depth of Discharge):
The percentage of energy discharged relative to the total battery capacity.
Deep discharges can shorten the battery’s lifespan.

l Cycle Life:
The number of complete charge–discharge cycles a battery can perform under specified conditions (often defined at a particular DOD).

l C-rate (Charge/Discharge Rate):
Defines the speed of charging or discharging relative to the battery’s rated capacity.

1C = fully charged/discharged in 1 hour

0.5C = in 2 hours

2C = in 0.5 hours

l BMS (Battery Management System):
The battery management system monitors voltage, temperature, and current, performs protection functions (overcharge, overdischarge, overheating), and manages cell balancing and communication.

l EMS, BMS, and PCS Relationship:

BMS: Manages individual cells and battery modules to ensure safety.

PCS (Power Conversion System): Controls DC/AC power conversion and bidirectional energy flow.

EMS (Energy Management System): The central control layer, coordinating BMS and PCS for optimized system operation.

3.Where do the main benefits of energy storage come from?+

Main Benefits of ESS

l Peak Shaving and Load Shifting
Reduces contract capacity or peak demand charges by charging during off-peak hours and discharging during peak periods.

l Energy Arbitrage
Charges when electricity prices are low and discharges when prices are high to maximize economic return.

l Backup Power Supply
Enhances power reliability and prevents operational losses during grid outages.

l Participation in Energy Markets
Generates revenue through ancillary services such as spinning reserve and frequency regulation.

l Renewable Energy Integration
Addresses the intermittency of renewable sources and increases self-consumption of clean energy.

4.What data are required for energy storage benefit evaluation?+

l Electricity Bills for the Past 12 Months
Including peak and off-peak consumption data and corresponding tariff rates.

l Load Profile Data
Recorded at 30-minute or 15-minute intervals, showing actual power demand variations throughout the day.

l Electricity Tariff Plan
The rate structure applied by Taipower, specifying the contracted demand and billing scheme.

5.What is a “large electricity consumer”?+

Definition of large electricity consumers:

A Large Electricity Consumer refers to any user who has signed a power supply contract with Taipower and whose contracted demand is 5,000 kW (5 MW) or higher.
This category excludes government agencies, schools, hospitals, and other non-profit institutions.
The policy was officially implemented by Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) starting in 2021.

Obligations of Large Electricity Consumers:

l Compliance Period:
Large electricity consumers must fulfill their renewable energy obligations within five (5) years from the date of notification.

l Obligation Standard:
Each entity must install renewable energy facilities equivalent to 10% of its contracted capacity.

Example: A company with a 5,000 kW contract must install approximately 500 kW of renewable generation capacity.

Early-Bird Incentive Policy

l Entities that had already installed renewable energy systems before the policy announcement are eligible for up to a 20% deduction of the existing capacity.

l Completing the renewable obligation within three years grants an additional 20% reduction.

l Completion within four years qualifies for a 10% reduction.

Four Compliance Options for Large Electricity Consumers

l Install Renewable Energy Generation Facilities (e.g., Solar PV):

Required capacity = Contracted Capacity × 10%.

The system must be self-generated and self-consumed; it cannot sell electricity externally or feed into the grid.

l Install Energy Storage Systems:

Required capacity = Contracted Capacity × 10% × Minimum Supply Duration (2 hours).

The system must be used for self-consumption only and cannot participate in the electricity market or sell stored energy.

l Purchase Renewable Energy and Certificates:

Purchase certified green electricity and renewable energy certificates (RECs) such as T-RECs directly from licensed renewable energy suppliers.

l Pay Monetary Compensation:

If unable to comply through the above methods, the consumer must pay a compensatory fee, which will be allocated by the government to support renewable energy development.

Example Calculation:

Annual Fee = Obligated Capacity × (2,500 kWh per kW × Compensation Rate)
Typical rate ≈ NTD 4 per kWh (subject to official MOEA announcement).
