2. unctions of Power Conversion Systems (PCS) in a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Bidirectional Conversion: The primary role of PCS is to convert the DC power generated or stored in the batteries into AC power that can be fed into the grid. Similarly, during charging, it converts incoming AC power into DC for storage in the batteries.
