2.6 PV Energy Storage System (PV ESS)
2.6.1 PV ESS Introduction
By directly connecting a battery module to the inverter, the conventional PV system can be
upgraded to be an Energy Storage System (ESS).
The system is capable of operating off-grid to ensure an emergency power supply for pro-
tected loads in the event of a grid interruption or blackout, which may be caused by:
• islanding;
• under-voltage;
• under-frequency or over-frequency.
• Under any connection, either grid-connection or off-grid application, please be
sure that the potential voltage between N and PE line is not higher than 30V,
otherwise, inverter will stop generating power.
• The system is not suitable for supplying life-sustaining medical devices. It can-
not guarantee backup power in all circumstances.
