- Examples of ESS demonstrators
in our Laboratories
Li-ion batteries (LiFePO4): 48V, 24V, 12V & 6 kWh demonstrator (charge-discharge tests at different SoC partially available, see an example in the figure. Data granularity 0.5 s)
Ultra/SuperCapacitors (EDLC): 16V- 2500 F, 100 Wh demonstrator
Test equipment: PSU units (0-60 V, 60 A, 3 kW), Electronic Loads (0-60V, 60A, 2 kW), temperature sensors, amplifiers, DAC, Control (remote/manual), hybrid tests (batteries, Super-Capacitors...)
Some pictures of Thermal Storage (Ecombi- Plus Appliance-Load by Elnur S.A.): Ceramic bricks (storage capacity 8kWh). Insertion of thermocouples for the management load response
SymBox (IPSymcon) and Z-Wave Sensors (CO2, temperature, VOC, humidity...)
