The France-based group mentioned its has launched two new BESSs with enclosures of 7ft and 20ft. Their energy ranges from 60 kW to 500 kW.
French multinational power administration firm Schneider Electrical has introduced a brand new Battery Vitality Storage System (BESS) for microgrids. It’s accessible in two enclosure sizes and has totally different storage and discharge configurations.
“Comprised of a battery system, battery administration system, energy conversion system, and controller, BESS has been examined and validated to work as an integral part of Schneider Electrical’s standardized microgrid system, EcoStruxure™ Microgrid Flex,” the corporate mentioned in an announcement. “It’s totally built-in into the software program suite, which incorporates EcoStruxure Microgrid Operation and EcoStruxure Microgrid Advisor.”
The BESS 7ft (2.1 m) lengthy enclosure has an influence of 60 kW or 90 kW and most storage of 246 kWh, with a discharge configuration of two or 4 hours. It weighs 3.6 metric tons, and it’s AC and DC coupled. However, the BESS 20ft (6.06 m) lengthy enclosure has an influence of 250 kW, 375 kW, or 500 kW, and most storage of 1,720 kWh, with a discharge configuration of two or 4 hours. It weighs 25 metric tons, and it’s AC coupled solely.
“The BESS is a totally self-contained resolution constructed upon a versatile, scalable, and highly-efficient structure delivering flexibility, serving to to reduce power prices and maximize renewable power,” the corporate added. “As a part of a microgrid system, the BESS leverages onsite era sources to optimize your entire system, delivering power and price financial savings whereas maximizing utilization of renewables.”
Each enclosures use Lithium-Ion Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries, which have a rated calendar lifetime of 15-20 years and greater than 6,000 cycles. The BESS’s working temperature ranges from -20 C to 50 C, and Schneider Electrical provides a three-year guarantee.
