TERMINOLOGY

Terminology
1. Battery Management Systems (BMS)
It is used to monitor the operating information (such as voltage, current, temper-
ature, battery protection parameters, etc.) of battery cells, battery packs, and sys-
tem units, and intelligently evaluate the state of charge (SOC) and health status
(SOH) and accumulated energy to protect the safety of battery
2. Energy Management Systems (EMS)
EMS encompasses data acquisition and monitoring system and is used for auto-
matic generation control, economic dispatch control, power system status and
safety analysis.
3. Battery System (BESS)
BESS comprises battery (series-parallel connection) and battery management sys-
tem (BMS), and is used to connect DC side of H30 indoor machine.
4. Energy Storage Systems (ESS)
ESS is a combination of BESS and H30 indoor machine, 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.
6. Photovoltaic Convergence Boxes
Users can connect a certain number of photovoltaic cells with identical specifica-
tions in series to form photovoltaic series, and then connect multiple photovoltaic
series in parallel with the photovoltaic junction box. The power can be output
through the DC circuit breaker, and a fully functional PV power generation system
can be established in conjunction with the H30 indoor unit.

TERMINOLOGY

7. Grid-connected Systems
Grid-connected systems usually consist of photovoltaic arrays, H30 indoor units,
battery system, and the grid.
When the electric energy generated by the PV string is sufficient, the surplus elec-
tric energy can be fed into the grid. Conversely, when the electric energy gener-
ated by the PV string and battery system is insufficient, the grid can supply power
to the load.
8. Off-grid Systems
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 in-
verters, battery systems and generators. When the battery power is sufficient, the
photovoltaic and battery supply the power to the load. However, when the battery
power is insufficient, the generator will charge the battery system and supply
power to the load.
