How to Build a Mobile Floor-standing Energy Storage System
Awesome—building your own mobile floor-standing energy storage system is a great project! Let’s break it into the key components and design steps so you know what to consider. System Overview You’re essentially creating a modular battery-powered system that can: Store energy (from solar, grid, etc.) Deliver AC/DC power to various loads Be moved when needed (but not carried) Core Components 1. Battery Pack Type : LiFePO₄ (preferred for safety, longevity, thermal stability) Voltage : 48V is common for high-capacity systems Capacity : Depends on use case (e.g., 5kWh, 10kWh, 15kWh) Example : 16s configuration of 3.2V 100Ah cells = ~5.12kWh @ 48V 2. Battery Management System (BMS) Monitors voltage, current, temperature Protects against overcharge, overdischarge, short circuit Choose one rated for your battery pack (e.g., 16s BMS for 48V system) Option : Smart BMS with Bluetooth or RS485/RS232 for monitoring 3. Inverter ...
