Scaling and Modifying the AES
When expanding or modifying the AES architecture, scaling and stacking may be used to provide
additional capabilities that may exceed the ability of any one component.
Scaling
• Power generation and energy storage can be modified in accordance with changes in load
requirements. Additional power generation sources should be selected based on availability of
resources, logistics and the local environment (fuel-driven generator, wind, fuel cell, etc.).
• Additional energy storage modules can be of a different form factor but must be of the same
chemistry and voltage, have compatible charge and discharge current capabilities, etc.
Stacking
• Capabilities can be added (or removed), including advanced power distribution and management
modules, stacking of generators with PRO-Verters, Power Hubs, and more.
Consult the individual product manuals for additional information about scaling and stacking.
Note:
When scaling or modifying the AES architecture, all components in the AES should be
completely inactive and off. The Initialization and Calibration step must be repeated after the
modifications have been made.
PRO-Verter Stacking Example
Stacking PRO-Verters, of the same or different types provides a mechanism to power a wide variety
of AC loads from the same System. The dashed-line box surrounds the stacked PRO-Verters.
