Get StartedThe inverter is a specific component in the PCS, which is mainly used to convert direct current energy into AC power. The inverter plays a crucial role in the energy storage system, which can realize the energy storage and release of DC batteries, and convert the DC power in the energy storage system into AC power for mains.
With the increasing popularity of renewable energy and the rapid development of power electronics technology, energy storage systems and inverters are becoming increasingly indispensable in modern power systems. The key components of these two systems, energy storage PCS (i.e. energy storage converter) and inverter, each have a vital mission.
In fact, many people regard energy storage inverter and power conversion system (PCS) as the same thing. This article asks you how to distinguish them. First of all, the PCS looks like this! (The size of PCS with different powers will be different.) Some people must be curious: What does it look like when opened? Something like this!
It can invert the DC power of the battery into AC power and transmit it to the power grid or use it for AC loads; it can also rectify the AC power of the power grid into DC power to charge the battery. Energy storage converter (PCS) consists of power, control, protection, monitoring and other software and hardware components.
As a power conversion system, the core function of energy storage PCS is to achieve bidirectional conversion of electric energy and efficient energy management. It can convert DC generated by renewable energy (such as solar and wind energy) into AC first, and then store it in batteries or other energy storage devices.
As a result, there is a growing need for energy storage devices. The power conversion system (PCS) is a crucial element of any effective energy storage system (ESS). Between the DC batteries and the electrical grid, the PCS serves as an interface. How does a PCS work?
