Lithium batteries. Energy efficient and sustainable. Why choose them?

We know that if you have come this far, it is because you are considering a key decision for the energy future of your company. Perhaps you have already installed a photovoltaic system and are now looking to take the next step. Or maybe you simply need to reduce your dependence on the grid, stabilise your energy costs or gain autonomy.

What are lithium batteries and why are they the future of energy?

Lithium batteries are electrical storage systems that use lithium ions as charge carriers between the anode and cathode. Their main strength is their high energy density, meaning they store more energy in less space and weight than traditional technologies (lead-acid or NiMH). This translates into more compact, lighter and more efficient equipment.

Unlike other solutions, lithium batteries support high depths of discharge (DoD) with typically high round-trip efficiency, maximising the energy that is actually usable. Furthermore, their low maintenance and lower self-discharge make them a reliable choice for critical applications and intensive use.

El futuro energético exige flexibilidad, digitalización y sostenibilidad. El litio encaja a la perfección: permite integrar fuentes renovables, estabilizar redes, electrificar el transporte y desplegar almacenamiento distribuido. Con la evolución de químicas como LFP (fosfato de hierro-litio) o NMC (níquel-manganeso-cobalto) y sistemas de gestión (BMS) más inteligentes, el litio ofrece un equilibrio cada vez mejor entre seguridad, coste por ciclo y rendimiento.

Applications of lithium batteries

  • Self-consumption and residential/industrial photovoltaics
    They store surplus solar energy for use during hours without sunlight, reducing dependence on the grid and optimising electricity bills (peaks, rates, demand).
  • Maritime systems and electric mobility
    In boats and vehicles, lower weight and high performance improve range, manoeuvrability and the onboard experience, with less noise and emissions.
  • Commercial and industrial (C&I) storage
    Supports peak shaving, backup power (UPS), and energy arbitrage; provides stability and operational resilience.
  • Microgrids and electrification of remote areas
    Combined with renewables (solar/wind), they ensure a continuous supply, reducing the use of diesel generators and fuel/logistics costs.
  • Critical applications and infrastructure
    Data centres, hospitals, telecommunications and ports use lithium for its fast response, modularity and scalability.
  • Industry and machinery
    Forklift trucks, AGVs and industrial equipment are switching to lithium for fast charging, more work shifts and fewer maintenance stops.

Benefits of lithium batteries

  • Higher energy density and power
    More kWh in less volume/weight and high power delivery/absorption capacity, ideal for demanding peaks and starts.
  • Long service life and competitive total cost
    A high number of useful cycles (depending on chemistry and usage profile) reduces the levelised cost of storage (LCOS) over time.
  • High efficiency and better energy utilisation
    High charging/discharging efficiencies and useful DoD allow more real energy to be extracted per installed kWh.
  • Low maintenance and reduced self-discharge
    Fewer interventions, no ‘memory effect’ and minimal losses during periods of inactivity
  • Safety thanks to BMS
    The battery management system monitors voltage, temperature and current, protects against overcharging/overdischarging and balances cells, increasing safety and longevity.

Scalability and modularity
Easy kWh and kW growth according to future needs, with simple integration into existing and smart systems.

Sustainability
They facilitate the integration of renewables, reduce operational emissions and promote cleaner energy models. Continuous improvement in recycling and traceability reinforces their positive impact.

What type of battery is best for my business?

At TDG Ibernavitas, we speak from experience: lithium batteries, specifically lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄ or LFP) batteries, are currently the most robust and cost-effective technology for industrial and commercial environments.

Why are so many companies investing in lithium batteries?

Because they work. Because they last. Because they allow you to get the most out of your energy system reliably.

These are some of the advantages that our customers value most:

  • High energy density
  • High efficiency
  • Long service life
  • Immediate response time

Most importantly, this technology is proven, mature and constantly evolving. We are not talking about a promise for the future, but a real solution that is already helping many companies to reduce costs, stabilise their consumption and make their energy investment profitable.

Safety first: we leave no room for improvisation

One of the most common concerns when discussing batteries is safety. And it is a completely legitimate concern.

That is why at TDG Ibernavitas we only work with LFP systems designed to the highest industrial safety standards. We integrate solutions that incorporate:

  • High thermal stability, which drastically reduces the risk of overheating.
  • Explosion-proof design, structured to contain any anomaly without compromising the environment.
  • Active fire protection, with intelligent sensors that detect and act before an incident occurs.
  • Intelligent BMS system, which monitors each cell in real time and keeps the battery operating in optimal conditions.

The result? A battery that not only performs at its best, but does so with complete peace of mind and predictability.

Beyond technology: what impact does it have on your business?

Choosing a lithium battery is not just a technical decision, it is a strategic decision.

  • If your company is electricity-intensive, you can reduce power peaks and avoid extra costs.
  • If you already produce renewable energy, you will be able to store and manage it more intelligently.
  • If you are planning for growth or need more autonomy, lithium batteries are scalable and adapt to your needs.

And if you are concerned about maintenance or return on investment, we are clear about this: with a long service life, low degradation and constant efficiency, this type of system pays for itself quickly and with low operational risk.

What about the environmental impact of lithium batteries?

At TDG Ibernavitas, we seek not only efficient solutions, but also sustainable ones.

That is why we chose lithium iron phosphate batteries, a technology that uses materials that are more abundant and less polluting than other chemicals on the market. This translates into:

  • Lower environmental impact during the extraction and manufacturing process.
  • Easier recycling and future recovery.
  • Lower exposure to critical raw materials, such as cobalt or nickel.

This way, you can advance your energy goals without compromising your environmental commitments or ESG policies.

What is a battery energy storage system? https://www.tdgibernavitas.com/en/energy-storage-system-batteries/ Thu, 25 Sep 2025 09:00:03 +0000 https://www.tdgibernavitas.com/energy-storage-system-batteries/

BESS: Energy storage systems for a more flexible, efficient and cost-effective grid

The energy transition in Spain is driven by the growth of renewable energies and the need to decarbonise the economy. However, this transformation poses a key challenge: how to manage energy when it is not consumed at the moment of generation? At TDG Ibernavitas, we offer comprehensive energy storage solutions with batteries, and BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) are positioned as one of the most effective tools for achieving this.

What is a BESS and how does it work?

A BESS is a battery-based storage system that allows electricity—mainly generated from renewable sources—to be stored and released when demand requires it. This type of technology not only increases the energy efficiency of photovoltaic or wind power installations, but also provides flexibility, grid stability and responsiveness to variations in generation or consumption.

BESS systems include:

  • High-capacity lithium batteries
  • Bidirectional inverters
  • Control and monitoring systems
  • Energy management software

Its main function is to store energy during periods of low demand and release it at peak times or according to the operator’s needs, thus optimising the use of the energy generated.

The importance of BESS in the energy transition

Renewable generation is inherently variable: the sun does not shine all day and the wind blows irregularly. This intermittency can lead to energy surpluses or shortages at different times. BESS allow this variability to be turned into a competitive advantage by storing excess energy and releasing it when it is most needed.

Its main benefits include:

Optimisation of self-consumption

Store renewable energy for use during low generation periods, maximising system efficiency.

Peak demand reduction

Releasing stored energy at times of high demand helps to avoid additional costs due to peak consumption.

Participation in energy markets

They enable stored energy to be sold at times of greater profitability, generating new economic opportunities.

Regulatory compliance

They facilitate compliance with zero discharge regulations, preventing the injection of surpluses into the network.

Industrial and commercial applications of BESS

At TDG Ibernavitas, we design energy storage solutions tailored to each type of installation. From high-demand industrial environments to collective self-consumption projects and large-scale photovoltaic plants, BESS enable:

Increasing the profitability of renewable investment

Improving overall energy efficiency

Ensuring continuity of supply

Comply with technical and regulatory requirements

Check out our energy storage solutions to discover how a BESS can be integrated into your project.

The role of TDG Ibernavitas in the energy transition

As a company specialising in comprehensive energy solutions, at TDG Ibernavitas we are committed to technologies that not only generate clean energy, but also manage it intelligently. BESS are an essential component in transforming renewable production into usable and profitable energy.
