This document examines DC-Coupled and AC-Coupled PV and energy storage solutions and provides best practices for their deployment. In a PV system with AC-Coupled storage, the PV array and the battery storage system each have their own inverter, with the two tied together on the AC side.
The battery energy storage system (BESS) is integrated into the secure (protected by the DU) dc link at the receiving-end station, with only dc current going through during its normal operation, thereby extending lifetime and reducing losses; 4) For the BESS, scalable design/sizing and effective management are feasible due to the modular structure;
Reliable, high-efficient and cost-effective energy storage systems can undoubtedly play a crucial role for a large-scale integration on power systems of the emerging “distributed generation†(DG) and for enabling the starting and the consolidation of the new era of so called smart-grids.
The PVS-500 DC-Coupled energy storage system is ideal for new projects that include PV that are looking to maximize energy yield, minimize interconnection costs, and take advantage of the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC). control how much reactive power is generated or absorbed by the inverters and can be used to help regulate system voltage.
DC-Coupled system ties the PV array and battery storage system together on the DC-side of the inverter, requiring all assets to be appropriately and similarly sized in order for optimized energy storage and power flow. Mid to large-scale solar is a non-reversible trend in the energy mix of the U.S. and world.
