The Power Conversion System (PCS) is key in energy storage, enabling DC to AC conversion for grid integration. As battery cell capacities increase, the demand for higher power PCS units, like the 2,500 kW models, is growing. The Shanghai Metals Market (SMM) lists prices for various PCS, including 1,725 kW and 2,500 kW centralized units, and a 215 kW string inverter. Prices for the 1,725 kW PCS are stable at 0.08 RMB/W, while the 2,500 kW units show a downward trend. String inverter PCS, designed for large systems, are priced at around 0.11 RMB/W, facing slow market adoption due to higher costs.
