Grid Connect Interface for
Energy Storage Systems
User Manual
Introduction
ABB's PCS100 ESS converter is a grid connect interface
for energy storage systems that allows energy to be
stored or accessed exactly when it is required. Able to
connect to any battery type or energy storage medium,
the PCS100 ESS brings together decades of grid inter-
connection experience and leadership in power conver-
sion to provide seamless system integration and battery
control.
The PCS100 ESS' modular design and advanced control
maximize the availability, value and performance of both
large and small energy storage systems in a variety of
applications. With this optimized use of the energy stor-
age system, the PCS100 ESS helps to deliver exceptional
returns on investment.
The PCS100 ESS allows control of both real power (P)
and reactive power (Q), enabling it to cover a wide range
of system requirements.
Moreover, advanced control features in the Virtual Gener-
ator mode of operation allow this storage system to em-
ulate generator behavior and thus act as a true power
system component.
With these advanced features the PCS100 ESS is the per-
fect solution for applications requiring power system
load levelling, grid stabilization, grid loss detection, grid
compliance for renewable and generation systems and
power quality improvement.
