Energy storage devices, servers, and methods for controlling the same are disclosed. The energy storage device can include at least one battery pack, a network interface configured to exchange data with a server, and a connector that receives alternating current (AC) power from an internal power network or outputs AC power to the internal power network. Energy storage device can also include a power converter configured to convert the AC power from the internal power network into direct current (DC) power based on the information about the power to store when information about power to store is received from the server, or, convert DC power stored in the battery pack into AC power based on the information about the power to output when information about power to output to the internal power network is received from the server. Accordingly, energy may be more efficiently stored.

Energy storage device, and server and method for controlling the same

An energy storage device including at least one battery pack; a communication module configured to transmit power-on information or energy storage amount information to a power management device and to receive a charge command or discharge command from the power management device; a connector configured to receive alternating current (AC) power, supplied to an internal power network through a photovoltaic module, from the internal power network based on the charge command or to output AC power to the internal power network based on the discharge command; and a power converter configured to, when the charge command is received from the power management device, convert the AC power from the internal power network into direct current (DC) power based on the charge command, or, when the discharge command is received from the power management device, convert DC power stored in the at least one battery pack into AC power based on the discharge command.

Energy storage device, power management device, mobile terminal and method for operating the same

Discussed are an energy storage device and an energy storage system including the energy storage device. The energy storage device includes at least one battery pack, a power conversion unit to convert, into DC power, AC power from a first phase from among three phases of an internal power network in a charging mode of the energy storage device, and to convert the DC power stored in the at least one battery pack into the AC power in a discharging mode of the energy storage device, a communication module to exchange data with an external energy storage device, and a controller to control the power conversion unit.
