In the ever-evolving world of energy storage, the Power Conversion System (PCS) acts as the "power magician" within a storage system. As a leading global energy storage solutions provider, EverExceed continuously innovates in PCS technology to deliver high-efficiency, safe, and intelligent power conversion solutions for residential, commercial, and utility-scale energy storage systems.
Basic Functions of PCS
The PCS has two major capabilities. During charging, it converts AC power from the grid into DC power to charge
energy storage batteries, storing energy efficiently. During discharging, it inversely converts the DC power from the battery back into AC power, supplying it to the grid or directly to electrical loads. EverExceed PCS ensures seamless power transition, grid stability, and reliable energy flow in all applications.
Classification by Application Scenario
**1. Residential Energy Storage PCS**
Designed for home energy systems, residential PCS typically ranges between 5–10kW. Compact and easy to install, EverExceed residential PCS integrates perfectly with rooftop solar panels and other distributed power sources. It stores solar energy during the day and powers homes at night, reducing electricity bills and providing backup power during outages—creating a safe and efficient home microgrid.
**2. Commercial and Industrial (C&I) PCS**
EverExceed commercial & industrial PCS systems range from 50kW to 500kW, providing efficient and reliable energy conversion for factories, office buildings, and shopping centers. These systems help enterprises achieve peak shaving and valley filling—charging during low-demand periods and discharging during high-demand hours—thereby reducing operational costs and ensuring energy reliability for production and operations.
**3. Utility-Scale PCS**
At the heart of large-scale energy storage plants, EverExceed utility-grade PCS units operate at the megawatt level, offering precise control, rapid response, and strong grid-interconnection capabilities. They support grid frequency regulation, voltage stabilization, and backup power supply, playing an irreplaceable role in the modern smart grid ecosystem.
Classification by Topology Structure
**1. Single-Stage PCS**
This design integrates rectification and inversion into one power module, simplifying structure and improving efficiency. EverExceed single-stage PCS solutions offer easy control and high performance for small and medium-sized systems.
**2. Dual-Stage PCS**
Featuring a DC/DC + DC/AC double-conversion structure, this PCS type supports a wider DC voltage range and maximizes battery utilization. EverExceed dual-stage PCS products are optimized with intelligent algorithms for precise control and superior efficiency.
Classification by Technical Route
**1. String-Type PCS**
EverExceed string PCS supports multi-branch battery access and independent cluster control, enhancing energy utilization and simplifying maintenance. Its modular design ensures minimal impact from single-cabinet faults, guaranteeing system reliability and easy scalability.
**2. Centralized PCS**
A mature and cost-effective solution, EverExceed centralized PCS provides simplified structure and convenient operation. Although system-level control is challenging, EverExceed enhances reliability through advanced protection and monitoring functions, ensuring long-term stable operation.
**3. Distributed PCS**
EverExceed distributed PCS adopts a two-stage AC/DC + DC/DC topology, effectively eliminating battery parallel circulating current while increasing system flexibility and efficiency. It is ideal for projects requiring modular expansion and high adaptability.
**4. Cascaded PCS**
EverExceed cascaded PCS eliminates the need for step-up transformers, improving system efficiency and compactness. By preventing inter-battery cluster circulating currents, it ensures optimal power quality and reduced footprint—perfect for large-scale, high-voltage systems.
