The TRENE energy storage system provides an output power of 125 kW and a capacity of 261 kWh. It is based on a 314Ah lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, recognized for its thermal stability. It targets commercial and industrial uses that require a reliable and scalable approach. Notably, it distinguishes itself through its liquid cooling mechanism and a design focused on precise temperature control.

Advanced safety features

This storage cabinet incorporates multiple protective measures to mitigate thermal risks and safeguard internal components. It includes fire suppression systems using aerosol and water spray, engineered to rapidly contain any potential incident. The MSD fuse technology immediately disconnects high voltage during maintenance, reducing electrical hazards. Each compartment is reinforced to prevent the spread of anomalies in the event of abnormal temperature rises.

The TRENE system is equipped with five battery packs per cabinet, providing a total capacity of 261 kWh. For larger energy demands, it can be scaled up to 1250 kW and 2610 kWh using ten cabinets. This modular concept adapts to evolving requirements in professional environments. Its technical architecture optimizes energy distribution to ensure steady power supply across various sites.

Energy management and smart functionalities

The energy management system integrates an artificial intelligence (AI)–driven analytics platform, delivering regular performance insights. Data is tracked in real time, with updates every ten seconds and local storage for up to a year. Time-of-use pricing and intelligent scheduling help optimize resource usage during peak consumption periods. These capabilities reduce operational expenses for industrial and commercial facilities.

The Power Conversion System (PCS) meets an IP67 standard, offering strong protection against moisture and dust. This arrangement supports installation in locations exposed to varied environmental conditions. Its compact form lowers space requirements and simplifies transportation. The system’s flexible structure accommodates load adjustments to keep pace with shifting energy needs.
