This energy storage system can be widely used in renewable energy power stations to stabilize fluctuations, absorb power, as well as assisting in peak shaving, frequency modulation, and voltage regulation at the power grid side, and peak shaving and valley filling at the industrial and commercial user side. It is also used in load fluctuation stabilization, photovoltaic + energy storage + charging pile integrated power stations and other scenarios.

Figure 2-1 Schematic diagram of energy storage system
As shown in Figure 2-1, the 20C1600K energy storage system integrates the lithium iron phosphate batteries and battery racks, battery management system (BMS),power conversion system(PCS), BESS controller, liquid cooling unit,air conditioner, fire detection and automatic fire extinguishing system, and other subsystems for protection. ( The equipment in the dotted gray box is provided by Paneco, and the transformer is provided by the client).
PCS supplies AC power to the load via an insulation transformer. The system can change the output power and set the charge and discharge time segments according to actual project requirements and corresponding operation strategies.
2.2 Working mode
The energy storage system has two operating modes: Constant AC power mode and Stop mode.

Table 2-1 Description of system operation mode
Model | Description |
|---|---|
Constant AC power | Running state: positive number is discharge, negative number is charging In charging state, the system converts alternating current from the grid into chemical energy stored in the battery In discharge state, the system converts chemical energy in the battery into electric energy and discharges it to the grid Failure occurrence When the system detects a fault signal, it switches to shutdown mode Receive stop order When the system receives stop instruction, it will switch to stop mode |
