Designed to replace valve-regulated lead acid batteries in demanding microgrid energy storage applications, Atlas 160 NiFe Batteries can provide up to 9,000 cycles in deep-discharge operating environments.
Designed for utility bulk power systems, UXIM (Universal Xplorer Industrial Monitor) predicts battery failures by trending over time to allow proactive battery replacements. This enables compliance with NERC regulations by automatically documenting complete and accurate maintenance records.
Manufacturers are turning to ultra-capacitors as a way of creating more energy efficient products. Ultra-capcitors store energy electrostatically to provide quick bursts of energy and reduce the initial load on batteries, making them an ideal compliment in many applications.
NTM Sensors received an ARPA-E award to develop monitoring systems that improve the safety and extend the operating limits of lithium-ion batteries in community energy storage systems.
S&C Electric announced the successful deployment of a 750kW PureWave® Storage Management System (SMS) in Albuquerque, N.M. It is the nation's first solar storage facility that is fully integrated into a utility's power grid. The PNM Prosperity Energy Storage Project can produce 500kW of power and uses high-tech batteries to create firm and dispatchable energy derived from a renewable energy source.
Primary applications for Maxwell's K2 series products, which range from 650 to 3,000 farads, include automotive subsystems, hybrid and electric vehicle drive trains, renewable energy systems, back-up power, grid stabilization, electric rail system power and many other transportation and industrial applications that require burst power and heavy cycling that cannot be efficiently provided by a battery or power supply alone.
The modular energy storage system Siestorage (Siemens Energy Storage) is designed for the reliable, sustainable supply of future energy requirements. This solution compensates for fluctuations in the production output of photovoltaic plants within just milliseconds, so providing the assurance of a stable energy supply.
