STATIONNARY ENERGY STORAGE

smart Energy grid - telecommunication - data centers - UPS

As the grid gets more and more renewable energy resources, the demand for energy storage before and after the meter, as well as in microgrids, is growing exponentially. Zinc technologies provide high power density and low cost, making them ideal for on- and off-grid, residential, commercial and industrial, or utility-scale energy storage. Bringing electricity to remote and island populations beyond the practical range of the grid is a challenge faced by developing economies around the world.

The solutions of the past were imperfect at best. Diesel generators create local air and noise pollution and require regular fuel deliveries to these difficult-to-access locations. Traditional lead-acid batteries quickly degrade in the intemperate climates and wear out—if they’re not stolen first. Either way, frequent replacements are necessary, and safe disposal of used batteries can be difficult. These drawbacks, along with the cost of maintenance, make these systems impractical or impossible to deploy.

Typical applications include :

• Residential & commercial grid : photovoltaic storage for self-consumption and feed-in to the grid

• Nano-grids: Providing electricity to domestics with no connection to grid

• Telecommunication: Back up and nano-grid

• Smart Grids: renewable energy sources integration in the grid, peak shaving, load levelling

• Data centers / UPS (Uninterrupted Power Systems)

MOBILITY - reinventing tomorrow’s transport

electric bikes - electric scooters - wheelchairs

One of the fastest growing segments in the world, ebikes are powering the growth of the middle class in many emerging economies. They need lightweight, safe and efficient batteries, and our zinc technology is perfect for this application. Electric motorbikes and motor scooters will also benefit from the power and performance of zinc-based batteries.​

START - STOP TECHNOLOGIES

Imagine the same range at half the cost. Meeting the needs of full electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and vehicles with start-stop engines, zinc-based batteries will offer the power and range needed, at a lower cost. They will be lighter weight or longer range, safer, and recyclable.​
