IPS has announced the launch of its latest innovation in utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), the EXERON X-BESS 8.
The X-BESS 8 delivers 8.1MWh of total battery capacity paired with an integrated 4MW inverter, all within a 20-foot container footprint equivalent.
It features a liquid-cooled, three-level inverter topology that achieves 99.5% efficiency, ensuring optimal performance even under demanding conditions and has been designed entirely in-house.
The X-BESS system employs a modular, building-block architecture to streamline transportation, installation and scalability while reducing logistics and deployment costs.
The system is delivered in lightweight segments, each under eight tons, eliminating the need for specialised heavy-lifting equipment. These plug-and-play blocks feature standardised mechanical and electrical interfaces for quick and easy on-site integration.
Key features include a fault-tolerant liquid cooling system for enhanced thermal management and reliability, and high-performance 314Ah LFP cells with up to 12,000 charge/discharge cycles, ensuring no capacity degradation for the first five years.
All system components except the LFP cells are designed and manufactured in-house by IPS, and all control software and embedded firmware is developed and maintained in strict alignment with EU cybersecurity frameworks.
The X-BESS 8 is set to debut at ees Europe 2025 in Munich, from 7-9 May.
IPS’s next automated manufacturing facility is due to open in Sofia, Bulgaria, in June 2025. The Class A plant will launch with a 1.5GWh annual capacity, scaling to 3GWh by the end of 2025.
