IMPLEMENT
SPECIFICATION
The purpose of the
PCS is to control the power consumption from the utility company.
Read the real time data from the power meter, compare with the Fluke
measurement devices, then adjust the battery discharge current vis EMS. In
according to preset value as shown on figure 2.2.1.
The priority of the PCS is (1) Provide limited power for the production
lines. (2) Peak shave the extra demand current to save on utility bill.
PCS to be
installed in a computer monitored room, include man-machine interface computer
(MMI), utility interface software
modules, solar inverter data acquisition module, EMS control/monitoring module.
The battery
management system (BMS) to be purchased from the battery manufacturer company,
the function of BMS is defined in section 3.4, include a space available for EMS
box which is installed by the contractor.
The purpose of EMS
is taking order from the PCS, and controlling the BMS.
Functional spec of the EMS is defined in section 3.5.
NEC Section 705 wnr Section 712 Mocrogrid or Grid connected sysems are intened to be covered.
