The Upside Group has commissioned the lead-carbon storage system which has a capacity of 25 MWh. SMA Solar Technology supplied the system technology for this project. The 90-kg battery cells come from Narada Inc.,a joint venture partner of the Upside Group.
Over 10,500 of these battery cells have been installed in 18 giant steel containers, and the entire system has now been successfully prequalified. The project’s implementation and future operation will be conducted by a special-purpose company founded together with Narada.
During operation, the system is monitored down to the single cell by means of the SMA Sunbelt Monitoring System. Thus, the slightest deviations are already detected before a cell fails.
The Upside Group will provide grid management services.
