French conglomerate Alstom has unveiled MaxSine eStorage, a battery energy storage solution targeted at grid-scale applications.
Each MaxSine eStorage module is connected to a battery up to 2MW, and with additional modules, storage capacity can reach 12MW.
MaxSine eStorage is installed with a power converter and real-time control software. The power converter connects the DC battery to the AC grid, and the software constitutes an eStorage management system that tailors a production plan.
MaxSine eStorage will be deployed in the coming weeks at Nice Grid, one of the largest smart grid demonstration projects in France. The project launched as a Grid4EU European Initiative, a smart grid innovative project that involves 27 partners in 12 European Union countries.
With up to 1,500 volunteers, the aim is to create a local microgrid integrating MaxSine eStorage connected to 200 solar panel sites.
