Commercial and industrial facility managers and operators are keen to install energy storage systems locally to ensure business continuity, maximise the consumption of the renewable energy they may produce locally, reduce energy costs through peak shaving or integrate electric vehicle charging stations while limiting disruption for their buildings. However, they may not want to go through additional civil and constructions works, or their building internal space may not allow the installation of an energy storage system within the building itself. There is therefore a growing need to provide them with an energy storage solution that minimises the use of internal building space, enables flexible placement and is quick to deploy.
xStorage Container is an all-in-one, ready-to-use containerised energy storage solution that fits a wide range of applications. It utilises award-winning energy storage technology from Eaton and module integration expertise from Enico, resulting in a scalable, modular and fully integrated containerised energy storage solution that is easy to install and quick to deploy on site. It is a multi-usage energy storage system that provides customers with a wide range of applications such as seamless islanding for reliable back-up power, peak shaving, load shifting, frequency regulation and voltage regulation. Customers can also leverage the energy storage system to maximise solar self-consumption and smoothly integrate electric vehicle charging stations onsite while ensuring grid stability for their buildings.
“We already offer a wide range of scalable and modular energy storage systems” said Craig McDonnell, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Power Quality and Electronics and Emerging Markets Division, EMEA at Eaton. “The launch of xStorage Container in collaboration with Enico enables us to further meet the needs of our customers who want to leverage our award-winning energy storage technology quickly with limited disruption for their buildings.”
Marko Lähteenmäki, CBO, Enico, added that the company develops unique and comprehensive integrated energy storage module solutions that utilise the best power electronics, battery storage and control technologies on the market and that the collaboration with Eaton enables the company to further meet the needs of its customers with a combined solution from two technology leaders.
"Facilities managers are under pressure to reduce carbon emissions and offset the increasing cost of energy consumption in commercial buildings through increased consumption of renewable power sources" said Richard Molloy, Segment Leader Energy Storage at Eaton. "Installing an energy storage system is critical part of the solution but there are a number of challenges that come with this, with many existing storage systems requiring expensive and disruptive infrastructure upgrades. The xStorage container addresses these pain points for facilities managers. Not only does it allow for easy, fast and flexible installation, but it will also maximise a building's ability to consume renewables, to alter the building demand profile to make better use of grid power when it is low cost and low carbon and to efficiently integrate electric vehicle charging stations. This will help buildings across the UK play their part in the pathway to net zero by 2050."
Eaton and Enico are showcasing their combined offer at Tampere Smart City at the booth #3.
