High-Performance 1P104S Battery Pack Solutions for Utility-Scale Energy Storage

A 1P104S battery pack is a high-voltage lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery module widely used in utility-scale and large commercial energy storage systems. In this configuration, “1P” refers to a single parallel cell group, while “104S” indicates that 104 battery cells are connected in series, forming a high-voltage DC battery pack suitable for grid-connected and containerized ESS architectures.

Compared with low-voltage battery modules, the 1P104S structure enables higher system voltage, lower operating current, and improved overall efficiency, making it particularly suitable for liquid-cooled energy storage containers, renewable energy power stations, and high-load industrial applications. As energy storage systems continue to scale toward megawatt and gigawatt-hour levels, standardized high-voltage battery packs such as 1P104S have become a foundational building block in modern ESS design.

Challenges for Utility-Scale Energy Storage Battery Packs

Despite their advantages, high-voltage battery packs like 1P104S also face several technical and engineering challenges in real-world applications.

  • Thermal management is one of the most critical issues. High-capacity batteries generate significant heat during fast charging, high-power discharge, and frequent cycling. Uneven temperature distribution can accelerate cell aging and increase safety risks.

  • Cell consistency becomes increasingly important as more cells are connected in series. Small variations in capacity, internal resistance, or voltage response can accumulate across a 104S string, affecting system stability and usable energy.

  • Safety and reliability are also key concerns. High-voltage battery systems must effectively prevent overvoltage, overcurrent, insulation failure, and thermal runaway, especially in long-term grid applications.

Finally, system integration complexity presents another challenge. Battery packs must work seamlessly with PCS, EMS, cooling systems, and fire protection solutions while meeting strict installation and commissioning requirements.
