In January 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the Implementation Plan for the Development of New Energy Storage during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period, emphasizing the fundamental role of new energy storage technologies in a new power system.
[pdf] Inter-cluster circulation is a critical issue in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) that can significantly impact the lifespan and efficiency of batteries. It refers to the flow of current between battery clusters, which can cause imbalance and degradation over time.
[pdf] Each battery cluster operates independently through decentralized management, a groundbreaking "one-cluster-one-control" architecture. This ensures 20% higher energy utilization efficiency, minimizes downtime, and enhances system stability—even in the most demanding environments.
[pdf] Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh. Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs.
[pdf] The Cluster Controller is a device for monitoring and controlling SMA devices with Speedwire/ Webconnect interfaces in decentralized PV systems and large-scale PV power plants. The Cluster Controller model "CLCON-S-10" monitors up to 25 SMA devices with Speedwire/ Webconnect interface.
