to paraphase Crocodile Dundee this is not a battery this is a battery let’s go and take a look this is what 1 megawatt hours of battery storage looks like 192 of these individual 5.3 Kow hour battery packs each one of these battery packs is neatly positioned in this rack mount system each pack connected in series in a set of 12 with an individual battery management system at the top and then the big Ms with the coms linking between each one each battery management system is connected back to a sunsync 50 kilowatt inverter so there’s eight inverters supporting 16 racks of batteries and the inverters are rather neatly housed in this the power end of the battery along with all those essential grid and load connections and everything else you’d need to possibly manage the electronics in this unit it even has its own built-in fire suppress system and a security system and you’ll need one of those because this unit is 395,000 so let’s just take a while to let that sink in while we’re in this beautifully air conditioned battery compartment why would you want to spend that level of investment on battery storage well this is very much the Swiss army knife of energy storage because it has so many different applications if you’ve got a large solar install a you can obviously store your excess energy to maximize your own self-c consumption so avoiding exporting power back to the grid and obviously with storage comes the option to trade the energy markets buying in abundant Renewables at low prices to avoid peak time energy supplies or perhaps you’re working on a site with a constrained power supply and the cost of a grid connection upgrade would pale into insignificance compared to the cost of battery storage along with that long lead time to try and get that cable Dragged In from the nearest substation of course once you have storage you can also play in The Wider energy Market trading power and supporting the grid with grid Support Services as well and of course you could use this as an uninterruptable power supply to provide essential backup to a site or to replace a diesel generator for those emergency supplies now before we leave this battery chamber there’s a little engineering hack here you can see that line there to check the the bolts haven’t loosened in transit and Transit is pretty important this unit shipped from the factory ready to drop in on site and just needs those final cable connections and you’re up and running but it’s not a case of just taking a shipping container shoehorning some batteries and inverters in there this container has been specially designed for its purpose of battery storage and will handle the rigers of shipping across the seas and at Road Transport to site so we’re here at the connection end where you bring in those cables ready for that connection but we haven’t spoken about how much load this can support the one megawatt hour battery here can support a continuous load of 400 Kow but perhaps 1 megawatt hour of storage capacity and a 400 kilow loads it’s still a little bit spicy for your requirements the good news is the inator series from sunsync also has some different variants starting at2 megawatt and A5 megawatt storage capacity supporting 100 kilowatt loads and 250 kilowatt loads respectively it’s been great to get up close finally to a container sized storage solution but what if you’re having problems with EV charging on the site well I recommend you take a look at our next video which explores what’s going on in this box behind me

It’s surprising that it’s allowed to have that many batteries in on room
That's still only four and a half months of electricity usage in the average British home. It would power the small town in which I live (about 1,500 properties) for a couple of hours.
It's also only 10 of the batteries in a BMW i7 eDrive50.
Unfortunately battery power is not true grid-level storage (and the batteries have a limited life).
You must be at the NEC ???
There are a load of those all around the south of France, I did some maintenance on them once, everyone had the diesel back up generator drained 😂😂
Makes my 43kwh look like a 9v battery 🤣
I bet Gary was drooling over them, thinking how many meals he can airfry with one charge
Small battery systems up to this size are under consideration for large scale attachment to the LV side of the network here (Queensland, Australia) to handle the large amount of domestic solar present. By soaking up production during the day they reduce the destabilising effect excess solar has during the day, and be able to reduce generator loads during the night.
Nice, more expensive than my house.. but 1MWh should be enough storage for at least one of my daughters showers..
It looked impressive. I did expect to see Doc Brown from Back to the Future hanging around inside it. Good show and I was surprised how much the industry had moved on from last years one. As a novice everyone I asked silly questions too had time to answer, especially on the SunSynk stand.
Spent a good bit of time at the sunsynk stand guys had a lot of time for me. Love the lifelynk cant wait to fit one
Need to get battery pack upto Scotland and connect to the national grid. Then it can be charged up from the Wind turbines out at sea. Then the national grid can use it when needed. Currently wind turbines are being turned off as not enough capacity on HV lines from Scotland to England
1MWh, or to put it another way around £80 worth at wholesale rates.
Grid forming? or just Grid following? when connected in a network. Just asking 😉
I like it! I'll take six! 🤣
It's a rocket engine when going supercritical.
At ISS, Beware of shipping containers going orbital velocity 🤪
Went with twelve US5000 pylontech batteries around 55Kw usable for a lorry project.
Dangerous and unnecessary. .
I thought the price sounds quite reasonable. Perfect for data centres
Your thumbnail says it's a 1 MW system but then you tell us it's not even half that at 0.4MW? Please don't be as dumb as the normal press, you should be better than that.
one megawatt-hour? is that raw or formatted? how many batteries do you lose to parity- wait nevermind, wrong type of storage
How does this battery work without bus bars? I don't understand how it has 25mm cables connecting one battery to another, with twenty or more batteries linked together with such thin cables.
By the way, by FAR the most efficient way to use batteries is for each house to have about 10kWh of battery storage, about £1,500 cost at today's prices (December 2023, UK), for a pair of batteries that will last throughout the night in the Winter. Centralising huge batteries like these and then trying to distribute their power over the grid is just stupid…
