Trina Storage's Elementa 2: A Step Ahead in Safety and Reliability
Trina Storage, recognized as a leading provider of energy storage solutions, has recently announced the successful acquisition of significant international safety certifications for its large-scale industrial battery,
Elementa 2. This notable achievement includes the
IEC 62619 certification from TÜV SÜD, along with
NFPA 68 and
NFPA 855 certifications from SGS. These certifications affirm that Elementa 2 meets the high performance demands for safety, risk resistance, and system conformity that are increasingly essential in the global market.
Importance of Safety Certifications
IEC 62619 is an internationally recognized standard concerning the safety of battery systems, encompassing a variety of testing aspects such as impact resistance, temperature controls, and electrical insulation properties. Meanwhile, the
NFPA 68 and
NFPA 855 certifications are widely acknowledged in North America and other regions requiring advanced safety measures, specifically relating to explosion pressure relief and installation criteria for energy storage systems. The successful certification of Elementa 2 establishes it as a reliable and safe energy storage solution suitable for diverse operational needs across the globe.
Research and Development Focus
In the realm of research and development, Trina Storage places a strong emphasis on balancing cost-efficiency with optimum safety and performance. They have constructed a robust safety management framework that spans from product design through to manufacturing and operational stages. The high ingress protection rating of IP55 and C5 for enclosure protection, combined with stringent safety protocols, ensures that their energy storage system can operate effectively even in challenging environments.
Looking ahead, Trina Storage plans to release a 'white paper on the safety reliability of energy storage systems' in 2024. This will include results from extensive verification tests, including real-world fire simulation tests, thereby demonstrating the effectiveness of their designs under extreme conditions. This effort aims to build further trust in their products' inherent safety across both industry stakeholders and consumers.
Advances in the Japanese Market
Notably, Elementa 2's battery pack has also achieved significant recognition in the Japanese market, where it is expected to pass the liquefaction test based on JIS C 8715-2:2019 conducted by the Japan Electrical Safety & Environment Technology Laboratories (JET) by December 2024. This marks a noteworthy milestone as Elementa 2 would be the first overseas brand to successfully meet this criterion, solidifying its credibility for deployment in high-risk environments afflicted by hazards like fire and extreme temperatures.
Projected cumulative shipments of the Elementa product line are set to surpass 10 GWh by the end of 2024, showcasing its rapid growth with delivery records extending across all six continents. With a strong dedication to technological innovation, Trina Storage is committed to anchoring quality and safety at the core of its offerings, working in tandem with global partners to propel the healthy growth of the energy storage sector and contribute to a sustainable, carbon-neutral society.
