Store solar energy on a large scale. This is the difference of ESS Container, a system that arrives in Brazil to innovate in the photovoltaic market. According to BYD, the company responsible for selling the equipment, it is capable of housing a large number of batteries, making it possible to program energy use at night, on cloudy and rainy days and also reduce consumption during peak hours.
The container uses lithium iron phosphate batteries that have a long life cycle and high energy density, capable of supplying, for example, 100 homes for two full days. According to BYD, the equipment also generates energy as needed, has On Grid and Off Grid applications and AVC and AGC frequency modulation, in addition to enabling better electrical infrastructure conditions in remote locations and having a storage system that serves different industrial segments.
The first large-scale project to use the ESS Container was a power plant created for a residential housing complex, a partnership between Alsol and Cemig. “When our research and development project with Cemig began to be developed, we decided to make the first purchase of lithium iron storage batteries. It is a pioneering initiative,” said Gustavo Malagoli Buiatti, founder and CTO of Alsol.
