What is a 5 MWh containerized liquid-cooled battery energy storage system?

Recently in June this year, the company launched its 5 MWh containerized liquid-cooled BESS adhering to the highest safety standards and performance levels. It employs 315 Ah LFP battery cells, also sourced from AESC. Envision Energy has launched a advanced 5 MWh containerized liquid-cooled battery energy storage system (BESS).

How much does a LiFePO4 battery weigh?

The company says its newest product uses 700-Ah lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells in a liquid-cooled 1,500 to 2,000-volt configuration that's good for nearly 16,000 charge cycles that all fits in half a normal shipping container. All in, the system weighs about 55 tons (50 tonnes)

Are LiFePO4 batteries safe?

While LiFePO4 doesn't have the same inherent risks of "venting" as do the much more common lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, Envision's energy storage unit features a pretty robust six-tiered suite of safety features.

How much does a lithium ion battery weigh?

As per media reports, the battery system weighs about 55 tons. The system is liquid-cooled, and has a voltage range of 1500-2000 Volts. It is configurable to offer a storage backup of two to eight hours, depending on the customer's requirements.
