ABB offer a range of energy storage converters suitable for large commercial users, of which there are two particular products to consider, depending on whether an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) - near-instantaneous switchover to backup power - is required or not.
For applications not requiring UPS, ABB’s Energy Storage Inverter (ESI) range of inverter/chargers are suitable, while users who have sensitive or critical loads (e.g. data centres) are better off with ABB’s Power Conversion Systems (PCS) series, which can provide UPS. Both ranges of products are compatible with most battery types, although our recommended technologies are SimpliPhi or Samsung SDI.
Some of the key features of this range of converters are:
The ESI range can be used for a variety of applications, such as:
The table below summarises the technical specifications available for the ESI range:

588 x 326 x 795 mm |
Weight | 525-620 kg | 250 kg | 120 kg |
The PCS100 range of converters are designed for providing complete power protection to high energy industry users with critical loads (e.g. mega data centres, manufacturing plants). The main highlights of this inverter technology are:
The key applications for PCS systems are:
