What is smart string energy storage system?

Intelligent string energy storage technology refers to combining multiple energy storage units into an energy storage system, and achieving optimal management and control of the energy storage system through intelligent control.

Are string inverters good for energy storage?

Typically, central inverters have been the standard for commercial and utility-scale energy storage applications. But that is shifting as costs drop and developers, EPCs, owners and operators discover more about the performance benefits of string inverters. The solar PV market embraced string inverters first, but energy storage is gaining momentum.

What is a string inverter?

As their name implies, central inverters centralize the project’s energy through one conduit. String inverters use a distributed architecture, breaking the system down into smaller, multiple inverters and usually more than one DC bus. The concept behind string inverters should be familiar.

What is LS Energy Solutions powerbric?

An apt example is the LS Energy Solutions PowerBRiC (Bi-directional, Resilient, intelligent Converter) system, a modular building-block string inverter focused on maximizing reliability and creating value-stacking opportunities for energy storage projects.

What is a string architecture?

Right-sizing power requirements. String architecture enables right-sizing of inverter systems by paralleling multiple, independent, smaller string inverters. The power requirements of the project can be easily matched by configuring only the needed power modules. Customers benefit because they don’t have to pay for excess inverter capacity.

Why should you add a string inverter?

Customers benefit because they don’t have to pay for excess inverter capacity. This modularity also allows for future string inverter additions as part of a battery augmentation strategy. That makes scaling a project a simple matter of adding modules. Energy and power augmentation.
