2. unctions of Power Conversion Systems (PCS) in a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Bidirectional Conversion: The primary role of PCS is to convert the DC power generated or stored in the batteries into AC power that can be fed into the grid. Similarly, during charging, it converts incoming AC power into DC for storage in the batteries.
Concurrently, the energy storage system can be discharged at the peak of power consumption, thereby reducing the demand for peak power supply from the power grid, which in turn reduces the required capacity of the distribution transformer; thus, the investment cost for the transformer is minimized.
In 2022, 194 electrochemical storage stations were put into operation, with a total stored energy of 7.9GWh. These accounted for 60.2% of the total energy stored by stations in operation, a year-on-year increase of 176% (Figure 4).
In addition, by leveraging the scaling benefits of power stations, the investment cost per unit of energy storage can be reduced to a value lower than that of the user's investment for the distributed energy storage system, thereby reducing the total construction cost of energy storage power stations and shortening the investment payback period.
A Power Conversion System (PCS) is a vital component that acts as the interface between the energy storage system and the electrical grid. It efficiently converts electrical energy
