Switching from Fossil to Electricity: Renewable Energy is the Trend


Switching from fossil to electricity is the inevitable trend in the 21st century and modern cities are proactively looking into feasible, renewable and clean energy solutions, to help save the environment and to free itself from the dependence on fossil and its the ever-changing high cost.


Energy Storage System (E.S.S.) promotes the use of renewable energy, be it solar, wind, water, thermal or biomass. Once the energy is generated, it is captured and stored for use when in need. A reliable energy storage system is essential for the widespread of renewable energy usage, as we need to secure the source of electricity at the point of unfavorable environments (e.g. during gloomy days in case of solar).


MEC Energy Storage System – Key Applications:


  • Household Energy Storage System

  • Industrial Energy Storage System

  • Energy Storage System at Power Generation Plants (Solar, Wind, Water, Thermal, Biomass)

  • Microgrid Solution – Independent Off-Grid for Stable Power Supply

  • Solar Energy Storage-Charge System


Benefits of Installing an E.S.S.

Battery is charged during periods of lowerelectricity cost and deliver power fromthe battery during periods of highelectricity costCompatible with all brands of inverters.for all types of renewable energySwitch Time ≤10ms for serving as an UPS
Reduce the peak demand by loadmanagementFully customized feed-in settings tooptimize profits or for self-consumptionBuilt-in backup power to be used duringpower outage


Types of E.S.S.


On-Grid SystemOff-Grid SystemRetrofit SystemHybrid System



Retrofit System:


  • Feed-in Tariff

  • Energy stored in batteries and used at home

  • Backup power available during power outage

  • Anti-islanding protection included

  • Existing On-Grid Inverter can be retained

  • Batteries can be charged by the Grid

  • No charging of batteries from PV during power outage

  • Independent of existing PV panels

Work Modes of Retrofit E.S.S.


Self-Consumption Mode, Time-of-Use Mode, Back-up Mode & UPS Function


Self-Consumption Mode (Default):

On Sunny Days


  • PV powers critical and household loads first, then charges the battery.

  • The redundant power will be exported to the grid.



1

On Cloudy Days / At Nights


  • Battery discharges for critical and household loads first.

  • Grid will supply power when that from the battery is not enough or the battery reaches its minimum capacity.

2

3 1

Time-of-Use Mode:

 


  • Apply to areas that have peak and valley electricity price and feed-in tariff.


  • By setting charging and discharging power to the batteries, import / export of electricity from the grid can be controlled.


Example 1: Peak Hours


  • PV provides 100W power and Load consumes 400W power

  • Setting: Discharge Battery with 300W

  • Result: Import / Export 0W to Grid

4 1

Example 2: Off-Peak Hours


  • PV provides 100W power and Load consumes 400W power.

  • Setting: Charge Battery with 200W

  • Result: Import 500W from Grid

Back-up Mode:

  • Apply to areas that suffer from power outage regularly.

  • By setting battery state of charge (SOC) retention value in this mode, the battery is ensured to have enough energy to supply during power outage.


On Sunny Days: Operate as in Self-Consumption Mode


On Cloudy Days / At Nights:


  • Battery discharges for critical and household loads first.

  • Grid will supply power when that from the battery is not enough or when the SOC retention value is reached.

UPS Function:

 


  • When power outage happens, system will switch to UPS Function automatically.

  • Battery supplies emergency power to the critical loads only until the battery reaches its minimum capacity.

  • Existing On-Grid system inverter will stop working to prevent islanding effect.
