Cat® BDP1000 Energy

Storage Inverter
The Cat® BDP1000 (Bi-directional Power) energy
storage inverter provides reliable control of the
Energy Storage System (ESS). Integrated
controls provide complete management of the
charge and discharge of the ESS. The BDP1000
is compatible with a range of storage solutions
and can be packaged with the ESS. The
patented Cat non-linear droop control system
allows ultra-fast response for smooth reliable
power off grid.
