Energy storage system

4.2.1 Energy storage system
The "Layout diagram of energy storage system with SIMOCRANE ESSM" below illustrates the
basic hardware design of the energy storage system (ESS). This basic design is the requirement
for the use of SIMOCRANE Energy Storage System Management (ESSM):
• Energy Storage System interface PLC, implemented by means of SIMATIC PLC with
SIMOCRANE ESSM V01.00
• HMI panel for local operation and diagnostics, e.g. SIMATIC TP1500 Comfort
• Power converters (up to 8 in parallel), each divided into:
– 1 x pre-charging circuit
– 1 x SINAMICS DCP 120 kW
• Intrinsically safe battery with Battery Management System (BMS) and suitable for operation
on SINAMICS DCP
• Main breaker for disconnecting the battery
