Keeping the production line running constantly is essential for the sustainability process of the business of industrial sector, since any shutdown, even for a short period, can cause significant financial losses. And, as many Brazilian states have suffered from power outages and power outages, this energy instability becomes a big problem for this segment, so fundamental to the country's economy.
In this sense, solutions that guarantee energy supply for these large production units, especially given the interruption of supply by the concessionaire, already are a reality in Brazil.
A Multinational SolaX Power has just brought the ESS-TRENE energy storage cabinet to the Brazilian market. It is a highly integrated equipment – a solution with versatile application scenarios and high-density, safe and high-performance LFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells.
According to the company, the product is used to make grid stability projects and ensure backup for power supply, especially during periods when there is a power outage on the grid. ESS-TRENE has a 100 kWh inverter and reaches up to 215 kWh of stored electricity. In addition, it is possible to place up to 10 units in parallel, reaching 1 MWp and 2,15 MWh of available energy.
“This equipment is the result of a great deal of SolaX expertise over its 14-year history. The idea is to ensure business safety, so that there is no loss of production in the event of a power outage. It is known that many regions suffer from power surges, so the function of ESS-TRENE is to be powered by the grid’s own energy to ensure supply to the industrial sector,” he explained. Gilberto Camargos, executive director of SolaX Power in Brazil.
The cabinet is equipped with an EMS (Energy Management System) – which integrates multiple safety protection measures such as overvoltage, overcurrent and overheating – as well as fire-resistant materials and a protection system to detect and promptly respond to potential fire risks. According to the manufacturer, the solution can reliably perform loading and unloading operations for one or several cabinets. The service life is more than ten years.
“This equipment is capable of powering a home for a period of one month with just one charge, since the consumption of Brazilian homes is, on average, 200 to 300 kWh per month. In the case of a company, depending on the level of consumption, it can power this unit for two or three days, depending on the consumption demand of a production line,” explained Camargos.
However, regarding solar energy storage solutions, the company reported that price may still be a deciding factor. But the executive clarifies: “Sometimes, the entrepreneur has a production line that, if stopped for a day or a few hours, the loss may be much greater than the investment in a solution like this. And, in the case of this equipment, it is an investment that tends to return between 7 to 10 years”, he concluded.
