The eSite Modular system consists of 1, 2 or 3 hybrid power Converter Units mounted on the exterior of a cabinet supplying a customer load with stable power by combining software-defined hybrid battery control with solar power, intelligent grid power harvesting and/or optimal genset control.
The interior of the cabinet houses the Remote Monitoring and Control (RMC) unit, the Power Combiner Unit (PCU) and the battery bank. Associated systems are connected to the eSite Modular system via connections points inside the cabinet.
The preconfiguration allows for up to 10 tenants with separate load measurements to simultaneously be connected to the eSite Modular system. The site configuration depends on the site prerequisites.
The eSite Modular system can be supplied with AC power from genset and grid and with DC power from solar panels. The supplied power is used to carry the customer load and to charge a battery bank. The AC supply is converted through ACDC rectifiers in the Converter Unit(s) into -48 V DC. The switching between the connected power sources is automatic. The DC supply is converted through DCDC solar converters in the Converter Unit(s) into -48 V DC. The RMC starts and stops the genset automatically based on the state of the battery bank and the associated charge strategy. If solar arrays are part of the configuration, they are always in operation and will supply power when the weather conditions are right.
The Converter Unit contains the rectifiers and/or solar converters. The unit is sealed and tamper-proof, and preconfigured when delivered. The Converter Unit does not contain serviceable parts.
The RMC controller unit includes all major functionality and all connections to the Converter Units. See the Operations manual for more information how to manage the RMC.
Warning
Do not open or make modifications to a Converter Unit or the RMC. This is strictly prohibited and can be a threat to life.
Caution
In case of a serious system failure or performance deviation, the Converter Unit must be sent to the nearest eSite Power Systems approved service centre.
