PV Inverter and Energy Storage container is two industry, one is PV Inverter industry, another one is Energy Storage container.The photovoltaic system converts solar energy into electrical energy, and the energy storage system stores the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic equipment. When this electrical energy is needed, it is inverted into alternating current through the energy storage converter for use by the load or the grid.
In the photovoltaic industry, there are: centralized, string, and micro inverters
Inverter - DC to AC: The main function is to invert the DC power converted by solar energy into AC power through photovoltaic equipment, which can be used by the load or integrated into the power grid or stored.
Centralized type: applicable to large-scale ground power stations and distributed industrial and commercial photovoltaics, with general output power greater than 250KW.
String type: applicable to large ground power stations, distributed industrial and commercial photovoltaics (generally output power is less than 250KW, three-phase), and household photovoltaics (generally output power is less than or equal to 10KW, single-phase).
Microinverter: The applicable scope is distributed photovoltaics (generally output power is less than or equal to 5KW, three-phase) and household photovoltaics (generally output power is less than or equal to 2KW, single-phase).
PV Inverter and Energy Storage container, its Energy storage systems include: large storage, industrial and commercial storage, household storage, and can be divided into energy storage converters (traditional energy storage converters, Hybrid) and all-in-one machines.
Inverter-AC-DC conversion: The main function is to control the charge and discharge of the battery. The DC power generated by photovoltaic power generation is converted into AC power through the inverter. At this time, part of the electrical energy needs to be stored in the battery, and the energy storage converter needs to be used to convert it. The alternating current is converted into direct current for charging. When this part of the electric energy is needed, the direct current in the battery needs to be converted into alternating current (generally 220V, 50HZ) through an energy storage converter for use by the load or integrated into the power grid. This is discharge. process.
The English name of the energy storage converter is Power Conversion System, or PCS for short. It controls the charging and discharging process of the battery and converts AC to DC power. It is composed of a DC/AC bidirectional converter, a control unit, etc.

Household storage: Generally, the output power is less than or equal to 10KW.
Traditional energy storage converter: mainly uses AC coupling scheme, and the application scenario is mainly large storage.
Hybrid: Mainly adopts DC coupling solution, and the application scenario is mainly household savings.
All-in-one machine: energy storage converter + battery pack, the product mainly stores electricity.
With the rapid development of new energy industries such as photovoltaic power generation, equipped with energy storage power stations is the general trend of industry development. Container energy storage power stations adopt an outdoor container integrated design, and energy storage converters, transformers, switch cabinets and other equipment are installed in the containers. , the container system has independent self-power supply system, fire alarm detector, lighting, safety escape system, emergency system and other automatic control and safety systems. Judging from the development history of container energy storage, it is mainly divided into centralized solutions, Centralized and decentralized solutions, and distributed solutions. The differences are as follows:
Item | Centralized solution | Centralized and decentralized solutions | Distributed solution |
Energy storage integration | First Generation | second generation | Third Generation |
principle | Centralized energy storage is the first generation mainstream integration route in the industry. Multiple battery clusters are connected in parallel on the DC side and then combined with BMS, temperature control system, automatic fire protection system and AC and DC power distribution devices to form a battery container. At the same time, in the conversion and voltage boosting part, the PCS and the transformer are combined into a power container, and the two containers are connected through DC cables. | The battery cluster in the battery container is connected to the DC bus through the energy optimizer (DC/DC), and then connected to the grid through the power container composed of PCS + transformer | Through highly integrated battery cluster + PCS + BMS + temperature control fire protection system, an integrated small cabinet is made to systematize the product. The small cabinet method not only breaks away from the limitations of application scenarios, but also enables flexible expansion and solves the problem. Recharge issue. |
Advantage | Low cost and low technical threshold | Extend battery life | Efficient and reliable, flexible expansion, conversion efficiency higher than 90%, and refined monitoring |
shortcoming | The whole life cycle cost of electricity is high and the power throughput capacity is low (the core reason is actually the inconsistency of the battery cells), the battery is not fully charged, cannot be fully discharged, and the circulation current is large. | The system cycle efficiency is low, the cost of electricity during the entire life cycle is high, it occupies a large area, and has poor flexibility. It does not support the mixed use of new and old batteries, and it is difficult to replenish power. | High initial investment and low life cycle electricity cost |
application | Mainly oriented to large-scale energy storage power stations on the source and grid side | Used by large-scale source network side projects | User side + large source network side project use |
Prospects | The pursuit of optimal investment costs and cost reduction are core factors in technical considerations. The reasons behind this are firstly because the energy storage profit model is not clear, and secondly because most projects are new energy distribution and storage, and many power stations are designed to complete corresponding indicators. | Industry demand has upgraded from “completing distribution and storage indicators” to “how to make profits from energy storage power stations” | Through the high integration of the "product as system" concept and the physical form of a small cabinet |

In terms of distribution network, EMS mainly collects the real-time power status of the power grid through communication with smart meters and monitors changes in load power in real time. Control automatic power generation and evaluate power system status.
In a 1MWh system, the ratio of PCS to battery can be 1:1 or 1:4 (energy storage PCS 250kWh, battery 1MWh).
3. The heat dissipation design of the 1MW container-type converter adopts the design of forward air distribution and rear air discharge. This design is suitable for energy storage power stations where all PCS are placed in the same container. The wiring, maintenance channels and heat dissipation design of the container's internal power distribution system are integrated and optimized to facilitate long-distance transportation and reduce subsequent maintenance costs.

As the number of battery customers around the world continues to increase, many customers report that due to unstable power supply during the day and short mains power hours, the battery power is consumed very quickly and cannot be fully charged, resulting in a shortened battery life and the need for frequent replacement. This is because if the battery is deeply discharged at night and cannot be fully charged during the day, the battery will sulfate after a few months of operation and the capacity will decrease rapidly, causing the battery to lose power quickly.
To this end, our R&D personnel have specially developed a tubular deep cycle gel battery, using tubular plates to replace the old plate design, which improves the utilization of the plates. Even if the battery is not fully c......
