LONDON, Sept. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, 66 sets
of Sungrow's energy storage system, PowerTitan 2.0, arrived in
the UK, demonstrating its acceleration of energy storage deployment
in Europe. In the Middle East, over 1,500 sets of PowerTitan 2.0
are set for deployment, contributing to one of the world's largest
energy storage projects with a capacity of 7.8 GWh. Similarly, in
Asia, multiple PowerTitan 2.0
projects have been successfully commissioned, showcasing impressive
performance in cost reduction, safety, grid forming, etc.
PowerTitan 2.0 is being rapidly gaining global traction, pioneering
the energy storage industry's transition into the AC Block era.
What is the AC Block?
PowerTitan 2.0 introduces the revolutionary AC Block, which
integrates a 5 MWh battery with a 2.5 MW PCS into a standard
20-foot container, a significant departure from the traditional
method of separating direct current battery systems and alternating
current PCS systems. This integration goes beyond just rearranging
components; it involves efficiently combining the battery, PCS,
fire suppression systems, and other modules while pushing the
boundaries of spatial design. According to a report by S&P
Global Commodity Insight, only three companies worldwide, including
Sungrow, currently provide authentic AC Block solutions.
Dr. James Li, Sungrow ESS
Director for Europe, stated that
the success of PowerTitan 2.0 is significantly attributed to
Sungrow's fully self-developed PACK/BMS/PCS/EMS technologies,
driving innovation through a foundational logic and holistic design
approach. Moreover, PowerTitan 2.0 revolutionizes PACK structures
and production processes, reducing the width of each PACK by 40mm
for a more compact layout. Additionally, each cabinet houses 12
small standardized PCS units, matching the size specifications of
PACKs for efficient space utilization. These benefits and
innovations make the AC Block concept feasible.
With a more compact structure, increased heat dissipation
challenges arise. PowerTitan 2.0 addresses this with a Fully
Liquid-Cooled solution for battery PACKs and PCS units, ensuring
rapid heat dissipation and extending system longevity.
The AC Block: An Optimal Choice
"In the operational projects, PowerTitan 2.0 demonstrates its
exceptional competitiveness," said Dr. James Li. It saves 29% on land usage, requiring
only 2000 square meters for a hundred-megawatt-hour system,
significantly reducing land costs. The all-in-one AC-DC block
design streamlines deployment with embedded PCSs, pre-assembled
components, MVT, and comprehensive factory testing to reduce
installation time onsite.
Thanks to its innovative AC-DC block design, PowerTitan 2.0
increases the system's round-trip efficiency (RTE) by 2%, boosts
the total discharge volume over the entire lifecycle by 8%, and
reduces fault losses by 92%. Moreover, standardized short cable
connections between batteries and PCS in a fully liquid-cooled
cabinet, along with advanced AI-based battery health management and
ArcDefender Technology, effectively minimize thermal runaway and
arcing risks, ensuring overall cabinet safety.
The system also incorporates the latest Stem Cell Grid Tech,
enabling seamless 0ms grid switching, and active harmonic
absorption. It has been widely deployed in global projects such as
the SPP Hybrid project in Thailand, the Dalia project in
the Middle East, and China's offshore grid-forming energy storage
project in Guangxi. The solution
plays a vital role in supporting the smooth operation of new power
systems. Notably, PowerTitan 2.0 operates with low noise levels
below 75 dBA, utilizing carefully selected biodegradable or
renewable transformer oil, refrigerants, and fire extinguishing
agents, aligning with environmental sustainability.
Looking ahead, with continuous product innovation and further
cost reductions, AC Blocks represented by PowerTitan 2.0 will
become the optimal choice in the energy storage market and driving
the global energy transition.
