Technology for battery energy storage systems (BESS)
BESS systems with a capacity of less than 1 MW are typically designed to fit within a single container, which includes many batteries, a battery management system, a power conversion system (PCS), and an energy management system (EMS). These all-in-one BESS systems can be scaled from utility scale to industrial and commercial applications.
The environmental control system (ECS) within the container combines the fire and HVAC systems to maintain a stable environment. ECS detects abnormal temperature changes of the HVAC system through various I/O nodes connected to ADAM-6000. This is critical for the long term operation of BESS. The battery management system (BMS) is responsible for real time monitoring and load control of each battery cell. A BMS typically uses CANBus for external communication, and a communication gateway, such as ECU 150 is required to convert CanBus data to Ethernet data.
The PCS is the core of electricity scheduling and dispatch, as it converts AC and DC power with the focus on real time control using the AMAX 5580 EtherCAT controller and industrial computers (IPCs), such as HMI UTC 100 Series, working together to provide overall monitoring of the energy storage container. Moreover, all components can be connected to unmanaged switches, such as EKI-2525 Series, to transmit data to the energy management system (EMS) making a complete system.
(BESS)The battery energy storage system stores electrical energy, typically generated from renewable sources like solar or wind, for later use.
(BMS) is a critical component of an energy storage system, responsible for monitoring and controlling the battery cells' performance to ensure optimal operation and prevent damage.
(EMS) An energy management system is responsible for managing and controlling the entire energy storage system, including the battery, power control system (PCS), and other components, to ensure efficient and safe operation.
(PCS)The power conversion system is the heart of the energy storage system, responsible for converting the DC power stored in the battery to AC power that can be used in homes, industrial and commercial sites.
(ECS) an energy storage system also requires environmental control systems to maintain stable operating conditions and communication systems to enable data transfer between the various components of the system and external systems, such as the power grid.
