SAFT Unveils Intensium Flex, a Revolutionary 7th-Generation Containerized Lithium-Ion Battery System at Intersolar.

Michael Lippert, from SAFT—a French company with over a century of experience in battery manufacturing—presents their latest product at Intersolar: the Intensium Flex. This is SAFT's seventh generation of containerized lithium-ion batteries designed to optimize energy storage systems globally. The presentation highlights the company's extensive history and global presence, boasting an installed base exceeding 7.5 gigawatt-hours worldwide across various applications like renewable support and grid services. The Intensium Flex features advanced temperature management for efficient energy throughput, allowing multiple daily cycles despite high power demands which generate heat. It offers scalable solutions tailored to diverse needs such as peak shaving or frequency regulation within both front-of-the-meter and behind-the-meter contexts. SAFT emphasizes optimizing battery sizing by balancing power requirements against system longevity without oversizing unnecessarily. Their containers are pre-tested for easy installation on-site, reducing commissioning time through innovative smart balancing technology. Finally, site layout optimization allows flexible configurations while maintaining safety standards; this modular approach ensures effective space utilization even in large-scale deployments by strategically arranging packs around PCS units for optimal performance distribution.
