TERMINOLOGY
5
Terminology
1. Battery Management System (BMS)
It is used to monitor the operating information (such as voltage, current,
temperature, battery protection parameters, etc.) of battery cells, battery packs,
and system units, and intelligently evaluate the state of charge (SOC) and health
status (SOH) and accumulated energy released to protect the safety of battery.
2. Energy Management System (EMS)
EMS encompasses data acquisition and monitoring system and is used for auto-
matic power generation control, economic dispatch control, power system status
and safety analysis.
3. Battery System (BESS)
BESS comprises battery (in series/parallel connection) and battery management
system (BMS), and is used to connect DC side of H30 outdoor system.
4. Energy Storage System (ESS)
ESS is a combination of BESS and H30 outdoor system, and can function as an
independent power supply or be controlled by a monitoring system.
5. Photovoltaic (PV)
PV, which refers to Photovoltaic Power System, is a new type of power generation
system that converts the radiant energy of sunlight into electric energy directly
by utilizing the photovoltaic effect of the semiconductor material in the solar cell.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

6. Grid-connected System
A grid-connected system usually consists of a PV string, an H30 outdoor unit
(battery system), and the power grid.
When the power generated by the PV string is abundant, the surplus power can
be fed into the grid. Conversely, when the power generated by the PV string and
the battery system is insufficient, the grid can supply power to the load.
7. Off-grid System
Off-grid systems are suitable for areas without grid or where the grid power is
unstable. These systems usually consist of photovoltaic arrays, energy storage
inverters, battery systems and generators. When the battery power is sufficient,
the photovoltaic and battery supply power to the load. However, when the battery
power is insufficient, the generator will charge the battery system and supply
power to the load.
