The battery unit of the Chinese PV manufacturer said that the new large-scale battery has a life cycle of more than 12,000 cycles. The system has a nominal capacity of 5 MWh and a Round trip efficiency of up to 95%.
E-storage, the battery unit of the Chinese Canadian PV manufacturer Canadian Solar, has launched a new battery solution for applications in the field of utilities.
The Solbank 3.0 Plus system is said to have a lifespan of 25 years, or 12,000 cycles and a round trip -efficiency of 95%. “Solbank 3.0 Plus can considerably reduce the operational costs of its customers by stimulating the total life throughput of lifelong energy by more than 13%,” the manufacturer said in a statement.
The IP55-related battery is enclosed in a container of 20 feet and has a size of 6,058 mm x 2,438 mm x 2.896 mm, with the weight 43,000 kg.
It has a nominal capacity of 5 MWh and a nominal voltage of 1,331 V. The operational DC voltage range is between 1,164 V and 1,497 V.
The battery can be configured to offer 2 hours or 4 hours of DC stream. Sound levels are assessed at less than 75 dB (A).
It also has a “space-grade” heat-resistant separator, electrical security systems and optimized design of the battery cooling system, whereby the latter reduces the auxiliary consumption of the tool by a maximum of 30% and at the same time offers a reduced decibel noise that is superior of its competition products, according to the company.
“Solbank 3.0 Plus is the following technological progress of e-Storage in its successful Solbank Battery Solutions Product Line range. Solbank 3.0 Plus uses improvements on the Lithium ionfosphate (LFP) battery cell production processes to bring the battery performance to a new level compared to the already successful Solbank.
