CLOU Electronics Signs BESS Warranty Service Agreement in Chile, Expanding the O&M Coverage into South America

Published

on

By

ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — CLOU Electronics, a leading BESS system integrator, has recently signed a BESS Warranty Service Agreement with INGENOVA ASESORIAS S.A. in Chile. Under this agreement, CLOU’s subsidiary, CL Energy Company, will engage the contractor to provide warranty repairs, commissioning, maintenance, and logistics services for Chile BESS market.

As many countries today, Chile is witnessing a transformative period in energy, incentivizing through several initiatives the development of energy storage and electric mobility. Over the past year, the Chilean market has seen a surge in large-scale project announcements, driven by an ambitious goal of achieving 70% renewable energy consumption by 2030, significantly increasing the installation of renewable energy generation facilities, leading to a critical need for advanced energy storage solutions.

As a worldwide pioneer in storage technology, CLOU has played a crucial role in several landmark projects, from design to operation. Notably, CLOU was involved in the development of a 485MWh BESS in the Atacama Desert in operation since 2023, and recently has awarded a 420MWh from Transelec S.A., Chile’s leading high-voltage transmission system provider with over 80 years of experience. The project will be located next to the Granja Solar photovoltaic plant, close to Pozo Almonte, in the northern part of Chile.

CLOU’s Engineering & Procurement Package (“EP Package”) solution will offer far more than just system integration. It will deliver comprehensive support throughout the entire project life cycle, by means of a multicultural service team including engineers from CLOU, alongside with local partnerships with deep service training and experience. This is why CLOU has signed a BESS Warranty Service Agreement with INGENOVA ASESORIAS S.A.

Ingenova has 20+ years in the Chile BESS market, and is well recognized as an engineering, equipment supply and construction company in the electrical field, covering the infrastructure, water, mining and energy sectors.

As the customer demand are getting complex and lifecycle O&M is playing a crucial role for a project, CLOU remains deeply committed to meeting both the immediate and long-term needs. This new agreement will further enhance CLOU’s capabilities in project design, equipment supply, system integration, project delivery, operations and maintenance, and after-sales service in the south cone.

CLOU Electronics Releases Two Versions of the 5MWh+ Energy Storage System Aqua-C2.5

Published

on

By

ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The global leading energy storage system integrator, CLOU Electronics, has introduced its latest liquid-cooling energy storage system, Aqua-C2.5, during the 2024 RE+ exhibition in Anaheim. This next-generation system is designed to support grid stability, improve renewable power quality, and deliver optimized LCOS for future energy storage projects.

The Aqua-C2.5 represents CLOU’s cutting-edge innovation for the utility-scale energy storage market, featuring a large 314/320Ah LFP battery cell capacity. The system is available in two versions: High Voltage Box and String PCS, providing flexibility to suit different project needs. The Aqua-C2.5 integrates long battery modules in a compact 20-ft container, significantly enhancing power density and enabling it to reach a 5MWh+ nominal capacity.

Both the High Voltage Box and String PCS versions enable precise charging and discharging of individual battery racks, maximizing the system’s overall round-trip efficiency (RTE) by streamlining energy conversion between DC and AC. This boosts the system’s energy discharge capacity over its full lifecycle.

Additionally, the modular design of both the battery pack and PCS simplifies operation and maintenance (O&M), reducing time and costs while ensuring high system availability. Features like automatic state of charge (SOC) calibration also reduce power plant upgrade times.

The Aqua-C2.5’s long battery module configuration allows for back-to-back installation, saving valuable footprint space and ultimately lowering upfront investment costs while increasing project revenue.

A standout feature of Aqua-C2.5 is its advanced bionic thermal management system. This system automatically adapts to the battery’s operational and environmental conditions, ensuring optimal heat dissipation across both the PCS and battery modules inside the container. With a cell/module temperature difference of just 2.5 degrees Celsius, the system is built for long-term performance, offering a 20-year operational life with improved charging and discharging efficiency.

As the global renewable energy market continues to grow, maintaining battery cell consistency is increasingly critical for energy storage systems. Inconsistencies can reduce performance, increase safety risks, and shorten system lifespan. The Aqua-C2.5 addresses this with CLOU’s Smart Scales Intelligent Balancing Technology, which optimizes energy distribution through active balancing. This ensures consistent operating conditions for each cell, reducing deviations and enhancing overall system stability and reliability. Compared to traditional passive balancing, Smart Scales offers bidirectional energy control, fast high-current balancing, reduced energy loss, and optimized battery performance.

The Aqua-C2.5 is also engineered for durability with an impressive C5 anti-corrosion rating and IP55 protection, making it suitable for operation in 0-95% (non-condensing) humidity and temperature ranges of -30℃ to 50℃(optional -35℃). It can maintain 100% nominal power output even at altitudes of up to 4,000 meters. The liquid cooling system also keeps the sound pressure level low, with standard versions at ≤75dB(A) and optional versions as quiet as ≤65dB(A), ideal for noise-sensitive environments.

With over 30 years of experience in power systems, CLOU continues to set industry benchmarks in energy storage compliance. The Aqua-C2.5 has earned multiple certifications, including CE, UL1973, UL9540A, UL9540, IEC62619, IEC63056, IEC62477-1, UN38.3, NFPA855, and NEC, and has passed the rigorous IEEE693 seismic test. To date, CLOU has delivered 5 GWh of energy storage solutions globally, underscoring its success and reliability in the industry.
