Key features Versatile energy storage • xStorage BESS holds 250 to 1000 kWh of usable stored energy (279 to 1117 kWh of installed energy). • The BESS includes a control cabinet with auxiliary transformer, a power conversion system (PCS) and up to three battery cabinets (with six or eight battery modules in each cabinet).
• The BESS includes a control cabinet with auxiliary transformer, a power conversion system (PCS) and up to three battery cabinets (with six or eight battery modules in each cabinet). Flexible installation • Modular installation maximizes available space (control cabinet, PCS and battery cabinets can be individually placed).
Liquid-cooled PCS and battery cabinets • PCS and battery cabinets have self-contained liquid cooling to deliver more precise temperature regulation than an air-cooled BESS.
