Envision Energy Introduces the EN 8 Pro at Smarter E Europe 2025

On May 7, 2025, Envision Energy, recognized globally for its leadership in green technologies, made a significant announcement at the Smarter E Europe 2025 conference: the launch of the EN 8 Pro, an advanced 8MWh DC liquid-cooled energy storage system. This groundbreaking product is designed to not only facilitate the transition towards a smarter, resilient, and net-zero energy future but also to redefine standards in safety, performance, environmental adaptability, and cost-efficiency.

The EN 8 Pro is touted as one of the most advanced energy storage systems available, boasting a high energy density design that exceeds 8MWh in capacity. Its development integrates cutting-edge fire protection systems, intelligent thermal management, and a lower Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). This makes the EN 8 Pro an ideal choice for large-scale renewable energy integration and utility-scale energy storage projects.

Exceptional Safety and Performance Features

Envision’s innovative approach to safety is encapsulated in its Prevention First strategy, which has been meticulously integrated into the EN 8 Pro. Key safety features include:

• - Multi-layer Fire Defense: This sophisticated system combines three levels of fire suppression and active/passive deflagration control, ensuring comprehensive fire protection from cell level to the system level.
• - Patented Triple-Fuse Cell Technology: This revolutionary technology minimizes the risk of thermal runaway by employing electrical, gas, and solid-state fuses. These fuses disrupt electrical pathways, relieve pressure, and obstruct ion transport, significantly enhancing safety.
• - AI-IoT Diagnostics: The embedded early fault detection system uses artificial intelligence to predict potential failures, providing continuous health insights which prompt proactive maintenance interventions.
• - Compliance with Strict Standards: The EN 8 Pro aligns with NFPA 855 and NFPA 68/69 standards, asserting its industry-leading protection capabilities in extreme conditions.

Optimized Efficiency and Enhanced Performance

The EN 8 Pro also emphasizes performance enhancements:

• - Reduced Footprint and Lower Auxiliary Power Consumption: The system is designed to be 26% smaller than previous models, which helps drive down the Levelized Cost of Energy by 12%.
• - Quick-Pack Replacement: An innovative quick-connect interface allows for rapid pack replacement in under one hour, minimizing any operational downtime.
• - High-Performance Cells: Equipped with 700 Ah-plus cells, the EN 8 Pro ensures greater energy density and durability, culminating in a long service life.
• - Real-Time Energy Management: Precision algorithms for State of Charge (SoC) and millisecond-level data acquisition work together to optimize energy management continuously.

Environmental Resilience

The EN 8 Pro is built to adapt to various environmental conditions, with an IP55 protection rating and C5 anti-corrosion standards. Additionally, its low-noise technology makes it operate at 20dB quieter than standard industry offerings, positioning it as a suitable solution for diverse settings, including urban centers and industrial zones.

Kevin Huang, Senior Vice President and President of the Energy Storage Product Line at Envision Energy, expressed the significance of the EN 8 Pro launch, stating, "In the race to net-zero, energy storage must be safer, smarter, and more efficient. It's not just a product launch—it's a transformative step towards a decarbonized and AI-driven energy system at scale."

As the EN 8 Pro enters the market, it is poised to play a pivotal role in supporting utility-scale renewable integration and energy transition projects worldwide, making it an essential component in the journey towards sustainable energy solutions.
