In mid-January, Solax Power demonstrated how businesses can use its Trene commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage system to cut electricity peak usage periods and optimize power prices, by inviting industry visitors to see its product being commissioned.

The 100 kW/215 kWh Trene product, demonstrated at a sub-zero temperatures event held by the Austrian wholesaler Etech in snow-covered Linz, features fan-cooled drawers of lithium ferro-phosphate cells and Solax said users can operate several Trenes and scale them up to MWh capacities.

Solax staff showed around 50 attendees, mostly installers, how to set up and connect the 2,800 kg cabinet and monitor operating status and each battery cell. The product’s power conversion and fire protection systems can also be monitored in real time.

The Chinese manufacturer said its in-house energy management system enables autonomous planning based on local electricity prices as well as comprehensive management of energy storage, solar arrays, charging stations, and generators at power plant level. Solax said the product can be integrated into virtual power plants and supports communication standards such as 2030.5 and OpenADR. Business operators can use the Solax cloud to control operating strategies and optimize peak loads, the company added.

On the safety front, the Trene is equipped with overvoltage, overcurrent, and overheating protection as well as fireproof materials and a four-stage fire protection system.

Solax added the IP66 class for the inverter and IP55 for the cabinet for waterproofing and dust ingress ensure the Trene works reliably under demanding environmental conditions.
