AlphaESS Unveils Aster 5000: A New Era in Energy Storage
In a significant advancement for energy storage technology, AlphaESS has officially launched the
Aster 5000, a next-generation energy storage system utilizing a sophisticated
liquid-cooling mechanism. This system boasts an impressive capacity of
5 MWh and is fully integrated into a
20-foot container. As a leader in the advanced energy storage market, AlphaESS's latest innovation aims to meet the increasing global demand for efficient, reliable, and long-lasting energy solutions.
Compact and High-Density Design
The Aster 5000 incorporates
12 clusters, each composed of
four high-performance battery modules containing
314 Ah cells, resulting in an overall capacity of 5 MWh. Weighing in at just
42.5 tons and boasting an
IP55 rating, this energy storage solution performs reliably even under extreme temperatures ranging from
-40°C to 50°C.
One of its standout features is the
single-door design, which facilitates parallel installation, enhancing power density by
35% and reducing space requirements by
40% compared to its predecessor, the Aster 3720. This design significantly lowers both land and infrastructure costs for consumers.
Enhanced Performance with Active Balancing Technology
At the heart of the Aster 5000 lies AlphaESS's patented
Active Balancing technology. This innovative system enables real-time energy redistribution between battery cells, providing a balance that is
up to 23 times faster than traditional passive systems. The benefits extend beyond efficiency: this technology can increase battery lifespan by over
10% while simultaneously decreasing operational costs and energy loss.
Complementing the Active Balancing system is a fully integrated
liquid-cooling platform. This platform supports intelligent cooling, heating, fluid circulation, and automatic fluid replenishment to maintain optimal battery performance. With its quiet operation and advanced desiccation features, the Aster 5000 ensures a stable and low-noise environment, further enhancing its value proposition.
Robust Safety Features
Safety is paramount in the design of the Aster 5000. The system adheres to leading international safety standards, including
IEC 62619,
IEC 62933,
UL 9540A,
UL 1973,
NFPA68, and
NFPA69. Essential safety features include real-time monitoring, multi-stage aerosol fire suppression, explosion venting, and optional water-based fire protection, ensuring the safety of both assets and personnel.
Evolving Energy Storage Solutions
The Aster 5000 is engineered for versatile energy markets, catering to applications like
4 to 8-hour discharges, peak shaving, frequency regulation, and renewable energy integration. Supported by AlphaESS’s internal
Building Management System (BMS) and advanced thermal management, this product delivers a reliable, efficient, and scalable solution for global energy projects.
