Do you remember the beginner-level energy storage terminology we shared last week? In this week's article, you can learn more professional terms. Let's take a look at what new knowledge we have this time. 

1. C-rate：Battery charge and discharge rate indicator, e.g., 1C means fully charged/discharged in 1 hour. Excessively high rates accelerate battery aging.

2. SOH (State of Health)：Measures the current performance of the battery relative to its factory state, reflecting the degree of aging. 

3. EMS (Energy Management System)：manages and optimizes the scheduling of photovoltaic, energy storage batteries, and the power grid, achieving intelligent control and improved energy efficiency.

4. PCS (Power Conversion System)：The power conversion equipment in the energy storage system, performing bidirectional inverter control.

5. Parallel Balancing (Passive/Active Balancing)：Balances the voltage differences between individual cells within a battery pack to prevent overcharging/under-voltage.

6. Thermal Management System: controls the cell temperature through air cooling/liquid cooling methods to prevent thermal runaway. 

7. BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) is a general term for battery energy storage systems, including battery cells, inverters, control systems, and more.

8. High Voltage Direct Current System (HVDC): Energy storage integrated system suitable for high-capacity transmission, improving efficiency and reducing losses.

9. Latency: The delay time from the energy storage system recognizing a signal to actually supplying power, affecting the effectiveness of emergency backup.

10. Cell-Module-Cluster-System: The structural hierarchy of energy storage batteries, from individual cells to the complete system. 

11. Thermal Runaway: An abnormal rise in cell temperature → a chain reaction of escalating reactions leading to further temperature increase.

12. V2H/V2G (Vehicle to Home/Grid): Technology route for electric vehicle batteries to supply power back to homes or the grid.

13. Electro-chemical Storage: The most common type of energy storage, including lithium-ion, lead-acid, sodium-ion, etc.

14. Solid-state Battery: The future trend in energy storage, with solid electrolytes; safer but more expensive.

15. Fire Class/UL9540A: Fire safety certification for energy storage systems, determining whether they can be installed in residential areas.

16. Black Start Capability: The ability to start supplying power independently without external power, suitable for restarting after a blackout.

17. Hybrid Inverter: A dual-input inverter supporting both photovoltaic input and battery storage, integrated design convenient for home use.

18. Smart Dispatching: Automatically scheduling charging and discharging plans based on peak and off-peak electricity prices/load forecasts to achieve energy savings and cost reduction.

19. Insulation Monitoring: A key safety indicator to detect potential leakage risks in high-voltage systems. 

20. System Integration Level: Measures the coordinated control capability of various system modules, significantly affecting operational stability in the later stage.
