BESS container architecture The BESS container has a modular architecture with: \- Liquid cooled battery packs made with LFP cells and a Battery Management Unit (BMU). \- Battery strings with a String Controller (CMU). \- Separate AC/DC Inverters (PCS) for each battery string. \- Liquid temperature control system and HVAC dehumidifier. \- Firefighting system, auxiliary power. \- BESS controller (GPC) to handle safety, automatic operation and data and control communication with external BESS and EMS SCADA. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/-Cub6q8SIjDSydOx8r8ZR/bOu-SsP8O9Pk4t7c8Vcrm_picture5.png) The 20C1600K system uses a customized container with a stronger load-bearing case and reinforcement steel frames in the middle while maintaining the same dimensions as a 20ft HC container. Anti-corrosion materials are used for the paint of the container shell to improve the anti-corrosion performance of the container. Before delivery, the container can be painted with patterns and LOGO according to requirements from the buyer. The shell interlayer is installed with 50mm thermal insulation rock wool to improve the thermal insulation performance of the system. In the battery compartment, there are battery Strings, liquid cooling unit, air conditioners for dehumidification and cable slots, etc. Battery Strings are installed on both sides of the battery container, lighting, thermal sensors, smoke sensors, firefighting pipe and other equipment are installed above the side aisle. In the electrical compartment, there are PCS, GPC, Firefighting Control System, power distribution system ，air conditioner and auxiliary power supply. ### 1.3.
