Auxiliary Components
Wiring Harnesses: Internal communication cables and fiber optics (Source: Three Gorges Tendering); UPS: 3kVA Uninterruptible Power Supply (Source: Yitong); Container: Energy storage unit container (Source: Three Gorges Tendering); PCS & Step-up: Integrated PCS and step-up unit (Source: Three Gorges Tendering); PCBA: Smart BMS control PCBA (Source: MINKINZI) — Auxiliaries: Wiring + UPS + Container (Three Supporting Components).
VI. Key Selection Criteria
Architecture: 1000V/1500V DC; Protection: IP54+ rating; Certification: UL9540A; Communication: Modbus, OPC UA; Fire Suppression: UL 864, EN54 — Selection focus: Architecture, Certification, and Communication (three-point check).
VII.
Procurement Recommendations
First, specify the four main components (Battery, BMS, PCS, EMS); second, configure thermal management (liquid cooling preferred); third, install fire suppression (perfluorohexanone); fourth, select connectors (TE, DEGSON);
fifth, verify certifications (UL9540A) — Components: Core units, thermal management, and fire suppression (three key points).
