3 Description of the eSite x10

3.1 eSite x10 introduction

The eSite x10 is a hybrid power unit that supplies a load with stable power by combining software-defined hybrid battery control with solar power, intelligent grid power harvesting and/or optimal genset control. The preconfiguration lets up to three tenants with separate load measurements connect to the eSite x10. The site configuration depends on the site prerequisites.

The eSite x10 can be supplied with AC power from genset and grid and with DC supply from solar panels. The supplied power is used to carry the customer load and to charge a battery bank. The AC supply is converted through rectifiers in the Main Compartment into -48V DC. The switching between the connected power sources is automatic. The DC supply is converted through solar converters in the Main Compartment into -48V DC. The eSite x10 starts and stops the genset automatically based on the state of the battery bank and the associated charge strategy. If solar arrays are part of the configuration, they are always in operation and supplies power when the weather conditions are right.

The Main Compartment contains all central parts and functions of the eSite x10. The Main Compartment is sealed and tamper-proof, and preconfigured when supplied. The Main Compartment does not contain serviceable parts.

The Connection Compartment is the only connection point access to the eSite x10. The Connection Compartment is designed to make power connectivity simple and intuitive, facilitating a smooth and easy installation/site commissioning of the system.

⚠️ Warning

Do not open or make modifications to the Main Compartment. This is strictly prohibited and can be a threat to life.

🚨 Caution

If there is a failure or performance deviation, the Main Compartment must be sent to the nearest eSite Power Systems approved service centre.

🚨 Caution

The Main Compartment must be connected to the Connection Compartment only unless a written statement from eSite Power Systems permits other connectivity devices. No third party connection device may be used without explicit consent and approval by eSite Power Systems. The Connection Compartment and the power connectivity is subject to regulatory control by eSite Power Systems.
