Moretti, an Italian speaker residing in Austria and working for a Chinese company in Germany, introduced A123 Systems' innovative energy storage solutions. Originally from the U.S., A123 is now part of a Chinese conglomerate with strong ties to the automotive industry. They aim to expand into Europe’s large-scale energy storage market using their newly developed five-foot container system. The system features 836 kWh capacity at a 0.5 C rate utilizing prismatic LFP cells produced by A123 Systems. These containers are advantageous due to their standard size, reducing transport and logistical costs as well as CO2 emissions since two can fit within a ten-foot space without needing additional transport containers. Testing occurs pre-shipment in controlled factory conditions, ensuring reliability before deployment on-site with simple plug-and-play installation involving minimal connection work. Notably robust fire protection measures include deflagration valves at cell and module levels along with compliance to UL9540A standards preventing fire spread between cells. Cooling is managed through liquid cooling systems rather than air conditioning or ventilation which mitigates pollution risks and maintains consistent temperature across modules within closed-loop water-glycol chillers accompanied by dehumidifying air conditioners for additional safety enhancements. In sum, this modular design prioritizes efficiency in transportation, assembly ease, operational safety under high altitudes up to 5000 meters while collaborating closely with European inverter manufacturers for seamless integration.
