ESS DCRP 5 MW

Energy storage system with dynamic compensation of reactive power

Description

The energy storage system with dynamic compensation of reactive power is designed to optimize electric power by means of:

  • Better quality of consumed electric power;
  • Peak shaving of power consumption;
  • Shift of peak power consumption to the time of the lowest electricity cost.

When a lot of consumers are connected to electrical power network simultaneously, a decrease in   voltage amplitude and frequency as well as waveform distortion might take place. Deviation of these parameters from standard values can cause operation failures — from accidental shutdown to full breakdown of the equipment. Remote users that use lines with limited power are at the highest risk.

Based on UniEnergy LFP systems, the energy storage system (ESS) provides an efficient solution for high-quality power supply. When charged, ESS accumulates energy and outputs it to a consumer’s power supply system levelling surges of own consumption and voltage failures of the supply mains. This solution ensures normal power supply without increasing power of electric lines and transformer substations.

ESS ensures a sharp rise in the quality of power supply. As an integral system component, the inverter provides dynamic compensation of any distortion and brings the parameters of frequency and voltage waveform to the reference values.

As a rule, conventional ESS batteries are charged at night when electricity rates are the lowest. The accumulated power is used in the daytime to minimize power consumption during the highest rating period. Therefore, ESS enables to reduce operational costs significantly.

Use of ESS with lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4) ensures continuous operation at high power output. Other battery types can be used on request.

System power capacity is defined on customer request and may be expanded in the event of production development or improvement.
