How BESS, PCS, and EMS Communicate: A
Energy Management System (EMS): The EMS is the brain of the operation. It monitors energy flows, decides when to store or release
Choosing an all-in-one commercial energy solution container with EMS, such as the PKNERGY 1MWH Battery, can conveniently manage the system, improve energy efficiency, reduce costs, and increase return on investment. Why does EMS play such a vital role in energy storage systems?
To improve the efficiency and economic benefits of battery storage systems, the Energy Management System (EMS) has emerged. The role of EMS in storage systems is crucial as it optimizes the charging and discharging processes of the batteries, ensures efficient energy use, and guarantees the stable operation of the system.
EMS communication refers to the exchange of data and instructions between the Energy Management System and various components within a BESS container. The EMS serves as the central intelligence hub, orchestrating the operation of batteries, inverters, monitoring devices, and other subsystems to achieve optimal performance objectives.
In a PV-Solar + BESS setup, an EMS can balance the outputs from PV-Solar and BESS simultaneously. It can dictate when to start discharging the batteries to pump stored power to the grid, and when to stop discharging and start charging again, based on production scenarios or customer agreements.
