In the field of new energy, photovoltaic inverters and energy storage inverters are important devices that play an indispensable role in our lives. But what is the difference between these two? We will conduct in-depth analysis of these two inverters from the aspects of structure, function, and application scenarios.   Structural differences Firstly, in principle, an inverter is mainly a device that converts DC power into AC power. It utilizes the switching characteristics of semiconductor devices such as field-effect transistors or thyristors to control the power supply voltage and current through rapid switching, thereby achieving the conversion of DC to AC power. Energy storage inverters (PCS) are a broader concept that involves converting and regulating electrical energy through power electronic devices to achieve power transmission, conversion, and control. PCS mainly includes modules such as rectification, inverter, DC/DC conversion, among which the inverter module is just one of its components. Functional characteristics From a functional perspective, photovoltaic inverters mainly focus on [...]
