Mark-Vinzent Weiler from SAX Power Company Unveils Multi-Inverter Technology for Enhanced Battery Safety and Efficiency at Stuttgart Presentation

Mark-Vinzent Weiler from SAX Power Company, located near Ulm, introduces their innovative AC battery technology during a presentation. Sax Power specializes in producing AC batteries without traditional inverters by leveraging their patented multi-inverter technology. He addresses the common issues with conventional high and low voltage DC systems where weak cells affect overall performance and safety due to long series connections. SAX's approach integrates advantages of both voltage technologies using groupings of five cells monitored individually. This allows on-demand series configurations for specific voltages while enhancing control over each cell's usage based on its health and life expectancy. Safety is significantly improved as individual groups are limited to 16 volts instead of 400 volts typical in high-voltage systems, preventing severe hazards if damaged. Iron phosphate cells ensure reliability, disconnecting within milliseconds if needed. The system supports easy expansion for future power needs while maintaining peak efficiency (99% per conversion step) and longevity through optimal cell utilization—all encapsulated within a compact design integrating inversion software directly onto printed circuit boards—offering robust solutions across various residential installations with seamless grid integration.

The pressing need to mitigate the impact of climate change and to deal with the ongoing energy crisis requires a new regulatory framework in Europe. This is why the European Commission has presented a legislative proposal for the adaptation of the EU Electricity Market Design in Q1 2023. But how would this new framework impact the energy storage market? How would the provision of flexibility be encouraged? How would existing entry barriers for energy storage be further reduced? In this panel, representatives from the EU, utilities, IPPs and storage providers will be discussing whether the new market design is suitable for incentivizing both the necessary energy storage installations and ideas for future improvements.
