Containerised utility-scale storage
iContainer
Grid-scale storage in a 20 or 40 ft container, built to the size your project needs.
- Maximum per container
- 6MWh
- Conversion power
- 3MW
- Container sizes
- 20–40ft
Overview
Storage sized to the project.
Batteries, power conversion, monitoring and fire protection are integrated at the factory. Use it for peak shaving, frequency regulation or steadying wind and solar output, and add containers as you grow.
All in one
- Modular build, plug and play on site
- Several containers run in parallel
- Easy to install and commission
Safe and reliable
- Grade A LFP cells
- Fast fault location and isolation
- Managed over its whole working life
Many uses
- Peak shaving and valley filling
- Frequency regulation and grid support
- Smoothing output from wind and solar
Where it is used
- Utilities and grid operators
- Solar and wind farms
- Large industrial sites
