From ESS News

A research team at the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences is developing a battery storage system designed to operate at up to 20 kV, which is around 20 times higher than conventional systems, to reduce resistance and energy losses.

The KV-Batt project, led by professor of renewable energy Martin Kiel, aims to increase voltage levels in large-scale battery modules to improve efficiency and lower heat generation.
