  • Page 16: Application Scenarios

    Application Scenarios SMILE-B3-PLUS is an AC-coupled all-in-one battery energy storage system (BESS). It can help to achieve the optimal usage of renewable energy. SMILE-B3-PLUS can control the bi-directional flow of electric power, work under auto/manual & time-of-use (TOU) modes, charge/discharge the battery as per customer’s setting. Under the auto mode, SMILE-B3-PLUS will store surplus renewable energy onto the battery and discharge battery to supply power to local loads when renewable energy is not enough.
