Intelligent lithium ion batteries
Trojan Battery Co., LLC announces the Trillium line of Trojan Intelligent Lithium batteries.
With life expectancy over 5,000 cycles, Trillium maximizes total energy throughput and lowers lifetime operating costs. Trillium is suitable for meeting demanding deep-cycling requirements across a wide range of stationary and motive power applications. Trillium is designed and engineered in the USA and is initially available in 3 popular sizes that can be used in a variety of applications. Trillium o ers a range of advanced safety, environmental, and electronic features including an intelligent built-in diagnostic as well a superior cell and battery design. Trillium is designed to be a replacement for existing lead acid batteries. e built-in battery protection system guards the battery from the extreme demands of various motive and stationary applications. Aftermarket customers without Lithium battery experience are now able to switch to this advanced energy technology without the need for sophisticated expertise in Lithium Ion technology or system integration. In addition, OEM customers can quickly add the Trillium range of products into equipment without signi cant investments in custom pack design and development. Trillium features automotive-grade safety components, CAN-bus communication, and an integrated state-of- charge indicator. e electronic controls allow for voltage compatibility for all 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V applications including the ability to use most existing lead-acid chargers.

Turnkey medium voltage inverter station
Ingeteam’s turnkey medium voltage solution for North America now features a new design. It integrates from one to three UL 1741 SA- compliant PV inverters up to 5.4MVA. is solution also integrates the padmounted transformer, the auxiliary services panel,
and the auxiliary services transformer.
All these elements are supplied already installed over a skid or metallic platform, facilitating the transport, installation, and commissioning works. In the energy storage sector, Ingeteam’s battery inverters are UL 9540 compliant and can be close-coupled connected to a padmounted MV transformer in a turnkey solution up to 5MVA, also supplied with everything integrated in a single skid.

Software for energy storage valuation
e latest version of QuESt, Sandia's open source software for energy storage valuation, has been released. QuESt v1.2 features the debut of QuESt BTM, an application aimed at providing analysis tools for behind-the-meter energy storage. e rst of these tools estimates the cost savings provided by energy storage for time-of-use and net energy metering customers. By strategically using energy storage, the customer can reduce his or her time-of-use energy charges or reduce demand charges by peak shaving. Energy storage can also be used with on-site solar power to reduce the customer's monthly bill by time- shifting. QuESt BTM uses simulated load pro les of di erent commercial and residential buildings located around the United States. It leverages a database of U.S. utility rate structures to allow users to select the rate structure most pertinent to his or her project. Additionally, QuESt BTM can utilize simulated solar power pro les for projects with energy storage co-located with, for example, rooftop solar. By simulating di erent energy storage system con gurations, QuESt BTM can help users size the appropriate energy storage system for reducing his or her building's monthly electricity bills.

Maxwell Technologies, Inc. has launched a new full-featured 3.0-volt (3.0V) product platform. With the introduction of these next generation ultracapacitors, users have the ability to increase energy and power in the same form factor as
the 2.7V product line and can signi cantly cost-optimize
their system designs by using fewer ultracapacitor cells or modules. Alternatively, users can upgrade to a 3.0V solution to extend the expected life of their products. e 3.0V platform is designed for single-cell applications as well as multi-
cell complex module systems. Designed from the ground
up, Maxwell’s new 3.0V platform addresses energy storage requirements driven by trends in renewable energy, industrial electri cation, and smart grid. Whether used alone, integrated into a module assembly, or in a hybrid con guration with fuel cells, Maxwell’s 3.0V platform of products can help reduce the overall cost and weight of the system while improving return on investment for customers.
