The PureWave SMS-250 is a storage-management system that can be connected to
380 Vac directly (or to 400, 415, or 480 Vac using an auto transformer), 50/60 Hz three-
phase utility feeder.
The storage-management system consists of a 263-kW/263-kVA PCS housed in a weath-
erproof enclosure suitable for outdoor or indoor mounting on a concrete or equivalent
pad applied with a user-furnished 618- to 850-Vdc, lithium-ion battery pack.
The PCS can use a modular design capable of parallel operation to achieve a rating
of up to 526 kW/526 kVA.
The PCS converts ac power to dc power to charge the energy storage system (bat-
teries). The PureWave SMS-250 system is capable of performing several customizable
functions through a SCADA interface or the Human Machine Interface (HMI) computer.
Discharging of the battery into the electrical system is controlled by the power mode
selected. Table 1 describes the modes of system operation.

Listed in Table 2 are the five operating states of the PureWave SMS-250 system. Depend-
ing on the alarm condition, the system can be in any of these states. The LCD inside the
unit door and in Human Machine Interface (HMI) computer can both inform the user of
the system's current state. Table 2 describes each state.
