The Challenge
Stationary battery storage systems must hold large amounts of energy safely, robustly and with easy servicing — in the field under changing environmental conditions. The task was a storage concept in a standardised container format, suitable for both research and industrial use: thermally manageable, service-friendly, transportable and easy to install.
Our Contribution
Two projects on a shared storage platform — the entire storage system conceived, engineered and drawn single-handedly, coordinated with suppliers:
• Research project with KIT (EU-funded) — recovery and storage of braking energy in tram networks
• Industrial project — battery storage in a 20-ft container for an automotive manufacturer, together with a battery manufacturer
• Inverters and back-boost converters — concept and mechanical construction
• Cooling concept for the storage system
• Complete container fit-out
• Entire electromechanics — control cabinet, connection panels, system technology; specially engineered devices, coordinated with suppliers
The Result
A storage platform spanning from the EU-funded research project (braking-energy recovery for tram networks, together with KIT) to industrial use for an automotive manufacturer — the entire concept and engineering realisation from a single source, from the cooling concept through the electromechanics to the container fit-out.
