These days, solar panels come in an increasingly diverse range of capacities, while storage systems also have a wide range of output capacities. And with the trend moving towards more indoor installations, systems need to be able to fit through doorways 800-mm wide and be installed in spaces no more than 5m².
Nichicon’s new lithium-ion power storage system for public- and industrial-sector use meets these needs in a convenient, space-saving package. In addition to flexibility — compatibility with solar panels between 10 and 20 kW and Scott-T transformer outputs between 5 and 20 kVA — the system employs a compartmentalized construction that allows its components to be carried inside separately. And system maintenance and repair can be carried out solely from the system’s front side, meaning less space in the room is required for maintenance.
Combined with a renewable energy source, this lithium-ion power storage system keeps the public and industrial sectors environmentally friendly, economically efficient and ready in case of a natural disaster, says the company.
Features
- Can be installed indoors, outdoors, and (optionally) in coastal areas susceptible to salt damage.
- Compartmentalized construction (separate connection panel, power control panel, and storage battery panel) makes carrying and installation easy. And since all maintenance can be conducted from the front side only, the maintenance space required is half that of conventional systems.
- Depending on customers’ needs and how they will use the system, they can choose a Scott-T transformer output anywhere from 5 to 20 kVA, and have the transformer built into the connection board.
- The built-in 10 to 20 kW power conditioner means users can connect the system directly to solar panels up to 20 kW in capacity from various solar panel manufacturers.
- By having the optional transmission function installed, users can gather data on the system’s operation state on an ongoing basis, and any problems that arise will be signaled to the user’s remote terminal. This allows for safe control of the system.
