NEXTES Introduces a Groundbreaking Storage Solution

In a significant development for Japan's energy sector, NEXTES Co., Ltd., headquartered in Setagaya, Tokyo, has made a notable stride by deploying a state-of-the-art battery system designed according to the international safety standard IEC 62933-5-2. This standard, which Japan pioneered, sets a global benchmark for energy storage solutions, ensuring enhanced safety and reliability.

A New Era for Energy Storage

The deployment of NEXTES’s 13ft water-cooled battery storage system is the first of its kind in Japan following third-party safety assessment. As the demand for renewable energy grows, energy storage solutions have become increasingly vital for maintaining a balanced power supply. Japan's stringent safety regulations necessitate that energy storage systems not only meet but exceed safety expectations, paving the way for the introduction of systems that adhere to international evaluation standards.

Installation Details

• - Location: Mashiki Town, Kumamoto Prefecture
• - Rated Storage Capacity: 8,332 kWh
• - Operator: A.D. Works Co., Ltd.

Nextes plays a key role in providing this advanced battery system, which is integrated into the operator's energy storage installation. This project marks a remarkable instance of implementing internationally recognized safety evaluations into practical energy infrastructures.

Features of the New Battery System

The newly introduced product is a 13ft container-type battery utilizing a water-cooled system that has passed the comprehensive evaluation of IEC 62933-5-2. This thorough assessment covers the entire lifecycle of the system, from design through decommissioning, focusing on crucial aspects such as fire safety, electrical protection, and system redundancy.

NEXTES stands out with its proprietary technology that facilitates a long lifespan coupled with cost-effective operations. The water-cooling method not only achieves efficient temperature management but also adapts flexibly to Japan's installation requirements due to its compact design.

What is IEC 62933-5-2?

IEC 62933-5-2 is an international standard aimed at ensuring the safety of large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS). Japan's active role in the formulation of this standard is noteworthy, as it contributes to enhancing the safety assessment framework for energy storage systems both domestically and internationally. A system assessed under these rigorous standards can significantly bolster reliability in the rapidly evolving landscape of renewable energy adoption.

Future Endeavors

By spearheading the introduction of this safety-certified battery system in Japan, NEXTES aims to accelerate the expansion of reliable storage solutions in the energy infrastructure market. The company is committed to enhancing the safety and reliability of energy storage systems, thereby supporting Japan's initiatives toward renewable energy proliferation and stabilizing power supply demands.
