Frequently Asked Question

Here are some frequently asked questions

Taking advantage of the price difference between peak and valley periods for arbitrage is currently the most important profit-making method for user-side energy storage. It charges the energy storage station during the low peak period of the power grid at night and discharges it during the peak period of electricity consumption during the day to achieve the purpose of saving electricity costs.

Energy Storage System (ESS) Related Questions

What is an Energy Storage System (ESS)?

An Energy Storage System is a comprehensive system designed to store electrical energy and release it when needed. It typically consists of batteries, PCS, BMS, EMS, protection systems, and thermal management systems.

What types of energy storage systems does Imax Power offer?

We provide cabinet-type energy storage systems, containerized energy storage systems, and customized integrated energy storage solutions tailored to project requirements. These systems are suitable for grid-connected, off-grid, and hybrid grid-connected/off-grid applications.

Which battery types are compatible with the energy storage systems?

Our systems can be adapted to mainstream lithium-ion battery types, such as Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) and Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC). We can also customize battery parameters and communication protocols according to project needs.

What are the common application scenarios for energy storage systems?

They are primarily used for peak shaving and valley filling, load regulation, backup power supply, renewable energy grid integration, microgrids, and grid ancillary services.

Power Conversion System (PCS)

What is a Power Conversion System (PCS)?

The PCS is a core component in energy storage systems, responsible for bidirectional energy conversion between the battery’s DC power and the AC grid. It determines the system’s efficiency, stability, and grid-connection capabilities.

What is the power range of Imax Power’s PCS products?

Our PCS products cover a power range from tens of kilowatts to megawatt-scale, meeting the demands of both industrial and commercial energy storage and large-scale energy storage projects.

Does the PCS support grid-connected and off-grid operation?

Yes, it does. The PCS can operate in grid-connected mode, off-grid mode, and grid-connected/off-grid switching mode, making it suitable for microgrids and isolated island operation scenarios.

Does the PCS support grid-forming functionality?

Depending on project configuration, our PCS can support grid-forming, grid-following, and hybrid control modes.

Bidirectional DC/DC Converter

What is a bidirectional DC/DC converter?

A bidirectional DC/DC converter enables bidirectional flow of DC electrical energy and is commonly used for energy regulation between battery systems, DC buses, and new energy systems.

What are the typical application scenarios for bidirectional DC/DC converters?

They include energy storage systems, electric vehicle charging and discharging systems, DC microgrids, and PV-storage-charging integrated systems.

Can the input and output voltages be customized?

Yes, they can. The voltage levels, current ranges, and control methods can all be customized according to project requirements.

EMS and BMS

What is the role of EMS in an energy storage system?

The EMS is responsible for system-level energy scheduling, strategy control, and operational monitoring, enhancing the overall efficiency and economic viability of the system.

Does Imax Power support EMS integration?

Yes, we do. We support the integration and customization of EMS, enabling data exchange and remote monitoring with PCS, BMS, and third-party platforms.

Which communication protocols are supported?

We commonly support Modbus TCP/RTU, CAN, and RS485. We can also adapt protocols according to project requirements.

Quality, Reliability, and Certification

How do the products ensure long-term stable operation?

Our products undergo functional testing, aging testing, and system-level validation before leaving the factory. During the design phase, we fully consider industrial-grade application environments.

What certifications can the products provide?

We can provide relevant international certifications such as CE and IEC according to different market demands, with specifics varying by product model and project requirements.

How does the system ensure operational safety?

We enhance overall system safety through multiple electrical protections, thermal management, fault detection, and interlocking mechanisms.

Business Cooperation and Service Support

Does Imax Power support OEM/ODM customization?

Yes, we do. We support OEM and ODM cooperation, including customization of appearance, parameters, control logic, and software interfaces.

What is the typical product lead time?

The lead time depends on the product type, configuration complexity, and order quantity. Standard models usually have relatively short delivery cycles.

How is after-sales and technical support provided?

We offer technical documentation, remote technical support, and long-term cooperation services to assist customers in successfully completing project delivery and operation.
