Estimating the term…
A power storage system and method for operating a power storage system. The power storage system may include a legacy battery energy storage system (BESS) module that may degrade over time. In order to compensate for the degrade of the legacy BESS, a supplemental BESS module along with DC-to-DC converter/controller circuitry are installed. In practice, a PCS may control the power drawn, with the supplemental BESS module sensing and providing the power, effectively following the control as dictated by the PCS. In this way, the supplemental BESS may be used in conjunction with the legacy BESS to reduce the effects of the degradation of the legacy PCS without the PCS even being able to detect the supplemental BESS.
A power storage system comprising:
A method for supplying power from a legacy battery energy storage system (BESS) module and a supplemental BESS module that is later-installed than the legacy BESS module, wherein the legacy BESS module including at least one battery and at least one output terminal electrically connected to at least one power bus, and wherein the supplemental BESS module including at least one supplemental battery and at least one output terminal, the method comprising:
A method for supplementing power from a legacy battery energy storage system (BESS) module with a supplemental BESS module that is later-installed than the legacy BESS module, wherein the legacy BESS module including at least one battery and at least one output terminal electrically connected to at least one power bus, and wherein the supplemental BESS module including at least one supplemental battery and at least one output terminal, the method comprising:
