Photovoltaic energy storage battery communication

Battery energy storage connects to DC-DC converter. DC-DC converter and solar are connected on common DC bus on the PCS. Energy Management System or EMS is responsible to provide seamless integration of DC coupled energy storage and solar. Typical DC-DC converter sizes range from 250kW to 525kW. Consequently, PV systems cannot continuously supply loads, thereby resulting in communication failure and a reduction in the lifespan of electronic components. Based on these factors, energy storage systems, such as battery energy storage (BES) systems, are used to fill the gap when PV generation falls short of demand.
