A European consortium just deployed the first fully automated storage farm – it even orders its own replacement parts! The latest systems feature: One Texas wind farm reported a 25% efficiency boost simply by letting their containers "talk shop" autonomously.
[pdf] The BESS comprises 27 containers, each of 2.5MWh capacity. The containers were designed and assembled by TotalEnergies’ battery subsidiary Saft. According to TotalEnergies, the project is built to ensure enough supply of electricity in the national grid, particularly during peak winter periods.
[pdf] The 1MW BESS systems utilize a 280Ah LFP cell and air cooling system which offers a better price to power ratio. Each BESS is on-grid ready making it an ideal solution for AC coupled commercial/industrial customers.
