1.725MW 10kV Transformer-Isolated PCS Container Power Conversion System for Medium Voltage Substation Tie-In
1.725MW 10kV PCS Container for Medium Voltage Substation Integration
Connecting a battery energy storage power conversion system to a medium-voltage substation requires coordination between the PCS supplier, electrical contractor and site operator. Switchgear capacity, cable termination, protective relays and grounding arrangements should be reviewed before installation.
The Voltertech BESS-1725MW-W is a 1.725MW-class AC-side power conversion container with a rated 1725kVA, 10kV interface and transformer isolation. Designed for large energy storage projects, it provides a medium-voltage power conversion solution for EPC contractors planning new or existing substation connections.
MEDIUM-VOLTAGE PROJECT INTERFACE
DC-Side Conversion: 1725kW Rated Power
AC-Side Connection: 1725kVA / 10kV
Isolation Architecture: Transformer Isolation
Coordinate the PCS and Substation Connection Scope
A rated 10kV output does not automatically confirm that the complete switchgear, feeder protection or site cabling is included with the power conversion container. The supply boundary should be established during technical procurement.

Four Checks Before a 10kV Substation Tie-In
01 — Review the Existing MV Single-Line Diagram
Confirm the proposed connection point, available switchgear capacity, transformer arrangement and relevant protection requirements. A nominal 10kV voltage match alone is not sufficient to approve a grid connection.
02 — Approve MV Cable and Termination Details
The EPC contractor should obtain the approved termination drawing and verify cable routing, connection positions, insulation requirements and available access. Cable size and termination accessories must be selected using confirmed electrical ratings and site conditions.
03 — Coordinate Protection and Earthing
Transformer isolation is part of the specified PCS architecture, but project-specific short-circuit studies, protective relay coordination and earthing arrangements remain necessary. Final settings must follow the approved electrical design.
04 — Prepare the Substation Interface Documents
Before delivery, confirm the electrical drawings, cable schedule, equipment arrangement, protection responsibilities and required communication interfaces. These documents help reduce integration issues between the PCS supplier and the site electrical contractor.
Communication Between Battery, PCS and Substation Control
The BESS-1725MW-W provides CAN and RS485 battery communication interfaces, with Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP and IEC 60870-5-104 listed for dispatch communication.
For substation projects, engineers should confirm which equipment supplies each control signal, how status information is reported and which operating commands are supported.
Communication availability should not be interpreted as automatic compatibility with every utility SCADA or plant controller. Protocol mapping and permitted control functions must be verified during project integration.

Container Placement Near an MV Substation
The PCS container measures 6058 × 2438 × 2896mm and weighs approximately 9 tonnes. The project layout should provide suitable equipment access, cable routes, maintenance space and structural support.
When an existing substation is being upgraded, the contractor should also consider construction access and the practical arrangements for connecting new power equipment to operating electrical infrastructure.
The final location and connection design must follow approved equipment drawings and applicable medium-voltage installation requirements.
MV Substation Integration FAQs
Q1. Does the PCS container include the external 10kV switchgear and circuit breaker?
The available specification confirms transformer isolation and a 10kV AC interface, but it does not fully define the external switchgear supply scope. Buyers should request a detailed equipment list and connection diagram before ordering.
Q2. Where should the medium-voltage cables enter the container?
Cable-entry positions and termination details should be confirmed from the supplier's approved installation drawings. They should not be inferred from exterior product photos or the container dimensions.
Q3. Can this PCS share an existing 10kV feeder with other power equipment?
This depends on feeder capacity, fault levels, protection coordination, operating requirements and the proposed connection arrangement. The responsible engineer must review the complete system before approving a shared connection.
Q4. Does transformer isolation eliminate the need for site earthing and relay coordination?
No. Transformer isolation is part of the equipment architecture, but appropriate earthing, protective devices and coordinated relay settings are still required for the complete medium-voltage installation.
Q5. What should an EPC contractor provide for a substation connection review?
Useful documents include the existing 10kV single-line diagram, switchgear information, transformer details, available connection point, cable route plan, protection requirements and proposed PCS installation layout.
