Glossary

1. Base Load
   The minimum level of demand over a span of time.
2. Battery Management System (BMS)
   A system that manages the charging and discharging of batteries, ensuring safety, performance, and longevity.
3. Emergency Stop Button
   A safety feature designed to halt operations immediately in the event of an emergency.
4. Energy Management System (EMS)
   A system used to monitor, control, and optimize the performance of electrical generation, storage, and consumption within a facility.
5. Energy Storage System (ESS)
   A system that stores energy for later use, typically consisting of batteries, inverters, and control systems.
6. Grid Standard UL 480
   Refers to the UL 480 standard, a set of guidelines related to grid connectivity and safety for electrical systems.
7. Over Frequency
   A situation where the frequency of the power supply exceeds its standard operating frequency, which can lead to system malfunctions.
8. Over Voltage
   A condition where the voltage in an electrical circuit exceeds the specified voltage limit.
9. Power Conversion System (PCS)
   Converts electrical power from one form to another (e.g., from AC to DC or vice versa) in energy storage systems.
10. Solar Inverter
    A device that converts direct current (DC) electricity from solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity for use in homes or businesses.
11. State of Charge (SOC)
    The current level of battery charge, expressed as a percentage of the total capacity.
12. Under Frequency
    Occurs when the frequency of the electrical supply falls below the standard operating frequency, causing potential instability.
13. Under Voltage
    A condition where the voltage in an electrical circuit drops below the minimum threshold required for normal operations.
