3.2. Energy storage battery and power condition system (PCS) The energy storage battery can attain the mutual conversion between the electric and chemical energy through the electrochemical reactions so as to achieve the storage and release of an electric energy.
PCS is the power electronic interface between the DC battery system and the AC power grid, which will see an interconnection function of the energy storage system apart from the charge and discharge management of the battery. Here, we present recent studies on the PCS from 2014 to the present, which is shown in Table 5.
When the grid needs the energy storage system to discharge, PCS converts the DC power in the storage battery to AC power and outputs it to the grid; when the grid needs the energy storage system to charge, PCS converts the AC power in the grid to DC power and stores it in the storage battery.
PCS is the core equipment in the energy storage system, which is used to realize the energy conversion and bidirectional flow between the storage battery and the power grid. It can either be DC/AC converter (inverter function) or AC/DC converter (rectifier function). It consists of DC/AC bi-directional converter, control unit, etc.
A new generation of semiconductor technology and other power electronic technology will speed up the development of the large-scale energy storage system. In this paper, the application of battery and power conversion technology in energy storage systems is introduced.
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?
