US-based Fluence bags 2,300 MWh projects from Enel, Siemens, LS Power for new energy storage tech
The technology stack creates the foundation for three purpose-built systems that are configured for grid, renewable, and commercial and industrial applications
New Delhi: Fluence, an energy storage technology firm, on Tuesday unveiled its sixth-generation energy storage technology stack combining factory-built hardware, advanced software and data-driven intelligence.
According to the press release, the US-based firm, which is also a Siemens and AES company, has already been selected for 800 MW or 2,300 MWh of projects by firms such as Enel, Siemens, and LS Power.
The technology stack creates the foundation for three purpose-built systems that are configured for grid, renewable, and commercial and industrial applications.
“Energy storage applications require highly flexible systems that can be tailored to specific markets and customer needs,” said Brett Galura, CTO, Fluence.
The firm added that by making energy storage simpler, more cost-effective and more scalable, this technology would help customers deploy ever larger projects and fleets faster and more efficiently for less capital investment.
“This sixth-generation technology combines our proprietary dataset and our deep industry experience to deliver unparalleled intelligence and flexibility, while adding the benefits of mass production to standardise safety features and significantly reduce the time and cost needed to deploy energy storage,” said Galura.
The press release added that the company’s new technology stack focuses on driving down the non-battery costs of energy storage systems by up to 25 per cent.
According to Jean-Christoph Heyne, global head of future grids, Siemens, for the cost-efficient and fast execution of projects in the area of distributed energy, microgrids and eMobility infrastructure, the productization and modularisation of storage technologies are decisive.
