Factory energy storage configuration solution

How do energy storage systems work?

Energy Storage Systems are structured in two main parts. The power conversion system (PCS) handles AC/DC and DC/AC conversion, with energy flowing into the batteries to charge them or being converted from the battery storage into AC power and fed into the grid. Suitable power device solutions depend on the voltages supported and the power flowing.

What is a battery energy storage solution?

A battery energy storage solution offers new application flexibility and unlocks new business value across the energy value chain, from conventional power generation, transmission & distribution, and renewable power, to industrial and commercial sectors.

What is a battery energy storage system (BESS)?

The comprehensive safety concept secures batteries, inverters and HVAC systems with advanced fire and explosion protection, detecting smoke and explosive gases. The battery energy storage system (BESS) can function as a black start unit, enabling autonomous grid formation without auxiliary voltage.

Why should you choose ABB Energy Storage?

ABB’s fully digitalized energy storage portfolio raises the efficiency of the grid at every level with factory-built, pre-tested solutions that achieve extensive quality control for the highest level of safety.

What is the difference between energy configuration and power configuration?

In an energy configuration, the batteries are used to inject a steady amount of power into the grid for an extended period of time. In a power configuration, the batteries are used to inject a large amount of power into the grid over a short period of time. The configuration of power or energy is determined by the ratio of inverters to batteries.

Why do we need energy storage systems?

Energy storage systems provide a wide array of technological approaches to manage our supply-demand situation and to create a more resilient energy infrastructure and bring cost savings to utilities and consumers. Learn more now.
