What is a 5 MWh battery energy storage system?

CPS is excited to launch the new 5 MWh Battery Energy Storage System for the North American market. The battery system is a containerized solution that integrates 12 racks of LFP batteries and offers a high energy density for utility applications.

How many battery modules are in a 5 MWh container?

It will be outfitted with 48 battery modules based on the manufacturer’s new 314 Ah LFP cells, each module providing 104.5 kWh capacity and designed to meet the needs of large utility scale systems. Due to the more compact design, the 5 MWh container will provide an energy density of 117 Wh/l.

What is a containerized battery energy storage system?

Containerized Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essentially large batteries housed within storage containers. These systems are designed to store energy from renewable sources or the grid and release it when required. This setup offers a modular and scalable solution to energy storage.

What is the energy density of a 5 MWh container?

Due to the more compact design, the 5 MWh container will provide an energy density of 117 Wh/l. That is 46% higher than the 80 Wh/l that can be seen in standard systems based on 280 Ah cells. The product will also be technically compatible with most top inverter brands’ power control systems, or bidirectional inverters.

What is energy storage container?

SCU uses standard battery modules, PCS modules, BMS, EMS, and other systems to form standard containers to build large-scale grid-side energy storage projects.

What does a 5 MWh battery container mean for LCoS?

This new 5 MWh container demonstrates that we can increase capacity and reduce LCOS, to make the energy transition genuinely affordable.” With 11 GWh of battery products shipped since the company was founded in 2019, Hithium is expanding its production capacity to 70 GWh by the end of this year.
