SolaX has released a new 215 kWh storage system using 280 Ah lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells, with 100 kW of rated AC power and a maximum efficiency of 98%.
SolaX, a Chinese manufacturer of inverters and storage systems, has developed a new commercial and industrial (C&I) storage cabinet with a capacity of 215 kWh. The ESS-Trene energy storage system uses 280 Ah LFP battery cells.
“The cabinet is suitable for various commercial and industrial scenarios, including peak shaving, demand response, backup mode, photovoltaic and energy storage integration, and stable consumption curves,” the company said in a statement. “It also supports applications such as virtual power plants (VPP) and frequency regulation.”
The new product has a nominal AC power of 100 kW and a maximum efficiency of 98%. The battery system has a 90% depth of discharge and a rated charge/discharge current of 140 A. The company says it uses ‘smart air cooling’ to cool the system.
“The cabinet is equipped with a self-developed energy management system (EMS) that can monitor the working status and abnormal alerts of each battery cell, PCS and fire protection system in real time,” it added. “The local data storage capacity enables data analysis and verification for up to one year. The advanced EMS system also has industry-leading advantages in intelligent control of various smart operating strategies.”
The cabinet is 1.68 meters wide, 2.42 meters high and 1.2 meters deep and weighs 2,800 kg. It operates at temperatures from -30 C to 55 C and can handle a relative humidity of up to 95%.
“The government is integrating several safety measures,” the company said. “It has built-in protection features such as over-voltage, over-current and over-temperature, as well as fire-resistant materials and a four-level fire protection system to immediately detect and respond to potential fire risks.”
