ZBB能源公司作为智能的可再生能源电力系统的研发者，日前宣布，公司已经于4月4日与伊顿电气签署一项合作协议，根据该合约，ZBB将提供一套500KWH的储能系统以应用于微型电网系统中。该微型电网系统用于美国俄克拉荷马州Ft.Sill的军队电力设施的联接运营。该系统将使用ZBB新一代的ZESS V3储能技术。
ZESS V3储能技术为锌溴液流电池技术，这是一种更高级的储能技术。该技术完全采用环境友好型的材料，可长期稳定可靠运行，比传统化学储能电池有更强大的性能。
美国国防部微电网发展项目将为美军微电网能源后备项目提供标准支持，研发将Ft.Sill的项目集中评估微电网技术在离网型和孤岛电力系统中所起到的重大作用。美军工程研发中心和建筑工程研究实验室将牵头本次项目。
ZBB能源公司将与包括伊顿电气在内的合作伙伴一起制定微电网先进储能系统的运行标准。
ZBB Energy Corp. is a leading developer of intelligent, renewable eletrical power platforms. The company’s platforms are targeted at the growing global need for distributed renewable energy, energy efficiency, power quality and grid modernization.
The company announced yesterday a contract award from Eaton Corporation. The contract is for ZBB to provide a 500 kilowatt-hour energy storage system for use in a micro-grid application at a U.S. Army facility in Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, utilizing ZBB’S next-generation ZESS V3 technology.
This technology is a zinc bromide flow battery designed to serve as an advanced electrical energy storage device. It is constructed from environmentally-friendly materials that provide for long service life and advanced performance when compared with traditional chemical batteries.
This Department of Defense Micro-Grid Development Project will be used to develop standards for the U.S. Army’s efforts on the Energy Surety Micro-Grid Program. Research efforts will focus on eva luation of micro-grid technologies to provide off-grid, islanded power to specific areas at Ft. Sill. The research will be led by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center and the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory.
ZBB Energy will work closely with several groups within Eaton Corporation to define operational standards for advanced energy storage systems on micro-grids such as this project and for use at future Department of Defense facilities.
