Battery rack-based charging in a centralized solution Alencon Systems LLC’s new approach to deploying the BOSS offers DC-coupled Solar + Storage projects as well as stand- alone grid scale storage projects the the granularity of battery rack charge and discharge with the convenience of a single, outdoor rated, pad mounted cabinet for ease of installation along with the flexibility of galvanic isolation. The standard outdoor, cabinet-based package is designed to hold four BOSS units and is rated at 320 – 350KW, all in a slender, easy to install package. Each BOSS unit in the cabinet can be easily replaced and installed in the field, allowing for easy O&M with no field serviceable critical parts. The BOSS’s galvanic isolation offers a great deal of flexibility in deploying Solar + Storage. Each BOSS cabinet comes integrated with the Alencon Communication Environment, allowing for unprecedentedly powerful and secure communications and control with a battery energy storage system (BESS) and plant controllers. Alencon Systems LLC www.alenconsystems.com Autonomous string inverter The PowerBRiC is a 125kVA autonomous string inverter for energy storage that can operate as a standalone string inverter or be packaged into a “central string” configuration. The PowerBRiC has a wide DC operating range of 200 to 1500VDC, and an AC operating range from 380 to 690VAC, allowing for compatibility with most DC storage technologies and generation technologies at virtually any scale and configuration. A PowerBRiC based system can be right-sized in 125kVA blocks to more precisely deliver the optimal power-to-energy ratio for High density, high voltage energy storage solutions KORE Power is a developer of high density, high voltage energy storage solutions for utility, industrial, and mission-critical markets. Designed to lower energy storage installation and operation costs while optimizing performance, the 1500Vdc Mark 1 energy storage system includes their propriety NMC cells with added safety features and innovative modules, fully integrated with the Mark 1 BMS. With support from manufacturing partner, Do-Fluoride Chemicals, KORE Power enhances the quality control and visibility across the entire supply chain. The Company serves the growing demand for applications such as energy storage peaker plants, solar + storage projects, microgrids, front-of and behind-the-meter storage, mining energy solutions, and military applications. The 1500Vdc Mark 1 energy storage system has 6 GWh/year production capacity and availability starting Q1 2020.
