AlphaESS Launches Aster 5000: A New Era in Energy Storage
In a significant advancement for energy storage solutions, AlphaESS has introduced its latest innovation: the
Aster 5000, a state-of-the-art 5MWh liquid-cooled energy storage system that caters to the increasing global demand for long-duration energy solutions. This new system not only boasts a robust design but also incorporates advanced features aimed at enhancing operational safety and efficiency.
Key Features of Aster 5000
The Aster 5000 is housed in a fully integrated 20-foot container and features a dual-core system equipped with proprietary
Active Balancing technology. This cutting-edge mechanism allows for real-time energy redistribution among battery cells, surpassing traditional passive systems by offering up to 23 times faster balancing. The result is a battery lifespan extended by over 10%, reduced energy loss, and lower operational costs.
Compact and Efficient Design
Weighing in at 42.5 tons and rated at IP55, the Aster 5000 is designed for durability, capable of operating in extreme temperatures from -40°C to 50°C. Its innovative single-door design facilitates back-to-back installations, enhancing power density by 35% and reducing the overall footprint by 40% compared to the previous Aster 3720 model. This efficiency not only saves space but also significantly cuts down on land and infrastructure costs, making it a cost-effective solution for energy storage projects.
Advanced Thermal Management
The cooling system of Aster 5000 is fully integrated and features intelligent modes for cooling, heating, and automatic fluid replenishment. This liquid thermal management system works in tandem with active dehumidification and low-noise fans, ensuring silent operation and stability. In a world increasingly focused on sustainability, these features also contribute to lower noise pollution and improved operational conditions.
Comprehensive Safety Standards
Safety is a top priority for AlphaESS with the Aster 5000. The system adheres to a number of key global safety standards, including IEC 62619, IEC 62933, UL 9540A, UL 1973, NFPA68, and NFPA69. Its safety features include real-time monitoring, multi-stage aerosol fire suppression, and explosion vents, as well as optional water-based fire protection designed to safeguard both assets and personnel. These stringent safety measures make the Aster 5000 suitable for a variety of applications across the energy sector.
Versatile Applications
The Aster 5000 is engineered for versatility in the evolving energy landscape. It is ideal for applications requiring 4 to 8+ hour discharges, grid peak shaving, frequency regulation, and the integration of renewable energy sources. This adaptability enables enhanced energy autonomy and reliability for various energy projects worldwide, supported by AlphaESS's advanced Battery Management Systems (BMS) and thermal management capabilities.
