Energy Storage System (ESS)

What is an Energy Storage System (ESS)?

An ESS stores electrical energy and releases it when needed.
It typically consists of batteries, PCS, BMS, EMS, protection systems,
and thermal management components.

What types of ESS does IMAX Power provide?

IMAX Power provides integrated ESS solutions including
cabinet-based systems, containerized ESS, and customized storage systems
for grid-tied, off-grid, and hybrid applications.

Can IMAX Power ESS work with different battery types?

Yes. IMAX Power systems support lithium-ion (LFP/NMC) batteries and can
be adapted for other battery chemistries depending on project requirements.

What are typical ESS application scenarios?

Typical applications include peak shaving, load shifting, backup power,
renewable energy integration, microgrids, and frequency regulation.

PCS (Power Conversion System)

What is a PCS in energy storage?

A PCS converts DC power from batteries to AC power for the grid or loads,
and converts AC back to DC during charging. It is the core component of ESS.

What PCS power ranges are available?

IMAX Power PCS solutions cover a wide power range,
from tens of kilowatts to megawatt-level systems.

Does the PCS support grid-forming and grid-following modes?

Yes. Depending on configuration, IMAX Power PCS can support
grid-following, grid-forming, and hybrid operating modes.

Can the PCS work in off-grid or island mode?

Yes. PCS can operate in off-grid mode, providing stable voltage and frequency
for isolated loads or microgrid systems.

Bidirectional DC/DC Converters

What is a bidirectional DC/DC converter?

A bidirectional DC/DC converter enables energy to flow in both directions,
commonly used between batteries, DC buses, and renewable sources.

What are typical applications of bidirectional DC/DC?

Applications include battery charging/discharging,
DC microgrids, EV charging systems, and energy storage coupling.

Can voltage levels be customized?

Yes. Input and output voltage ranges can be customized
according to system architecture and project requirements.

EMS & BMS

What is the role of EMS in an ESS?

EMS (Energy Management System) monitors, controls, and optimizes
energy flow, ensuring efficient and safe system operation.

Does IMAX Power provide EMS integration?

Yes. IMAX Power supports EMS integration and customization,
including communication with PCS, BMS, and third-party platforms.

What communication protocols are supported?

Common protocols include Modbus TCP/RTU, CAN, RS485,
and optional customized protocols.
