What makes a good energy storage solution?

Mobility can be a key differentiator for an energy storage solution. For example, mobile storage is often the preferred solution for utility operators to meet rising power demands. Battery energy storage is also used by operators to supplement grid power for up to three years before committing to fixed infrastructure investments.

What are the different types of energy storage options?

Scalable, Modular Energy Storage: Configurations range from 150kWh to 450kWh, with daisy-chaining options for extended capacity. Energy Storage Only – Providing flexible, off-grid power solutions. CCS DC Fast Charging – Featuring dual 150kW CCS chargers, suitable for high-speed public and commercial EV charging.

How many MWh can a mobile battery trailer store?

Each mobile battery trailer can store up to 2 MWh or more of energy, with liquid cooling offered as an option to reach higher energy densities. The mobile battery unit currently relies on the latest lithium-ion battery technology, but it is designed to accommodate any battery type.

Why do power distributors need mobile storage?

Mobile storage also allows power distributors to quickly move power to where it is needed most, such as during seasonal changes from summer to winter when power demands shift.
