The Atlas Copco ZBC 1000-1200 energy storage system (ESS) delivers 1MW of power from a single unit.
Up to 16 units can be connected in parallel, delivering up to 16MW of power.
It is built using the same advanced battery technology as Atlas Copco’s existing range of ESS to deliver low carbon power while saving on costs. It is aimed at demanding rental applications, including construction, mining, events, ports and emergency power.
Being ‘plug and play’ means there is no need for bolting cables to busbars.The system includes an advanced thermal management HVAC system to operate in temperatures from -20°C to +50°C.
“Our next-generation energy storage solution is our biggest yet, with 1MW power and an energy capacity of 1200 kWh packed into an HQ 20ft container,” said Onur Talas, product marketing manager at Atlas Copco Portable Power & Flow. “It has been specially designed to provide a reliable and long-lasting power solution for the most critical rental applications that require a constant and significant flow of energy.”
Using a ZBC 1000-1200 on a construction site means that users can reduce the number of generators needed, reducing fuel consumption. The ZBC can be connected with generators from all manufacturers, Atlas Copco says, with the battery energy storage system acting as a primary power source and generators as the secondary source.
All ZBC battery pack systems connect to Atlas Copco’s telematics system, FleetLink, so users can remotely monitor their machines in real time to optimise fleet usage and reduce maintenance costs.
