Description
The Hitachi Energy Power Conversion System (PCS) is a bidirectional plug and play converter. Optimized for BESS integration into complex electrical grids, PCS is compatible with leading battery manufacturers.
It is based on the same industry-leading power conversion platform as our AMPS and PVI solutions to provide you with greater efficiency, flexibility, performance, and scalability.
Excels in demanding environments
Take advantage of its fast response and advanced active power management for highly demanding environments (e.g., ramp rate, frequency response, and energy shifting).
Improve efficiency and reliability.
PCS enables the maximum number of DC block connections per station, which is especially important to increase flexibility, power flow, and redundancy for your large projects.
Reduce complexity
Seamless integration between Hitachi Energy’s ower plant controller (PPC) and the battery management system (BMS) from the battery manufacturer saves project execution time and resources.
Features
Fast dynamic response: With PCS, you gain advanced power management capabilities, including:
- Load leveling
- Frequency regulation
- Capacity firming
- Peak shaving
- Voltage support
- Islanding
- Black start
- Grid inertia
Strong performance in harsh environments: PCS combines robust dust filters with top-quality components so your system can work in any possible scenario:
- Effective operating conditions in remote high-altitude
- Coating on internal components and electronics to resist corrosive saline conditions
- Sealing elements and standard IP65 enclosure
- Protection against rain and humidity
