INDUSTRIAL BATTERY STORAGE

Costa Rica Super Energy Storage Battery

Two 40-foot- MTU battery containers from Rolls-Royce with a total storage capacity of 4,275 kWh and an output of 1,500 kVA are used to meet peak electricity demand, increase the company’s own use of solar power, and relieve pressure on the public grid. 690 photovoltaic panels with 255kWp capacity have been installed by solar provider Swissol SA, Alajuela, Costa Rica, on covered parking spaces at Proquinal and connected to the battery containers to support the system.

Energy storage battery assembly process

Battery module made of cylindrical cells ● Battery modules made of pouch cells are designed so that the cells are stacked on top of each other and then interconnected. ● Due to their flexible envelope, the individual pouch cells can be placed in a frame beforehand. ● Gap filler for volume compensation or active and passive cooling elements can be inserted between the cells. ● The cell stack is braced in different ways and placed in the module housing. ● The volume expansion ("breathing") of the pouch cells during charge or discharge cycles must be taken into account in the module design.

Tonga solar energy storage battery

The two battery storage facilities installed in Tonga are complementary: the aim of the first 5 MWh / 10 MW battery is to improve the electricity grid’s stability (regulating the voltage and frequency), while the second 23 MWh / 7 MW battery is designed to transfer the electrical load in order to help the grid supply electricity at peak times, and notably in the evening.
