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.
The EMS serves as the decision-maker, coordinating the entire BESS for optimized energy flow. It integrates hardware and software to monitor real-time data, analyze trends, and dispatch energy based on grid demands, market signals, or user needs.
In modern energy storage systems, BMS, EMS, and PCS form an inseparable trinity. The BMS safeguards the health and safety of batteries. The EMS optimizes energy usage through smart scheduling and system control. The PCS executes the physical charging and discharging operations.
