AC-native battery systems
Other text in scientific journal, 2026
The focus of this Future Energy article is architectural, not electrochemical. AC-native battery systems do not introduce new cell chemistries or bypass electrochemical constraints. Instead, they expand the degrees of freedom for pack-level sensing, actuation, and control while actively redistributing system complexity between internal battery hardware and external power-conversion stages. Assessing their implications for performance, reliability, and cost requires careful consideration of mechanisms, evidence, and limitations of AC-native battery systems.
