Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Uses
Applications include behind-the-meter solutions, solar + storage, backup storage for point specific infrastructure such as cell towers or streetlights.
Cell Tower
- Compatible with existing rectifier or DC electronics infrastructure
- Wide operating temperature range minimizes (and even eliminates) auxiliary cooling (or heating) infrastructure (and therefore cost) High cycle life + high efficiency + low auxiliary opex = lowest cost of ownership and shortest payback
- At off-grid locations, rapid charge capability reduces generator runtime (lower maintenance costs) and increases generator efficiency (lowers diesel consumption)
- Plug-and-play replacement for Lead Acid or Li Ion batteries
Sirius Energy Storage is poised to become the storage of choice for cell tower operators around the world.
Solar + Storage
- Plug-and-play replacement of Lead Acid or Li Ion batteries
- Compatible with existing inverters
- Safe with no risk of thermal runaway
- Wide operating temperature range minimizes (and even eliminates) auxiliary cooling (or heating) infrastructure (and therefore cost)
- High delivered efficiency results in low opex so faster payback
- Plug-and-play replacement for Lead Acid or Li Ion batteries
- Long cycle life
- Can be charged quickly to optimize PV solar sizing
Sirius Energy Storage delivers exceptional performance for solar + storage applications.
Behind-The-Meter Solutions – Demand Charge Management
- Sirius Energy Storage’s exceptional efficiency, cycle life, thermal stability, and safety attributes combined with its commercially acceptable form factor and competitive price point, makes it the most technically suitable and economically viable storage system in the industry for demand charge applications that require repeated cycling.
- Whether deployed for residential, commercial or industrial storage, a Sirius storage solution delivers the best performance metrics and economics on the market, making it a viable alternative to chemical batteries.
Non-Wires Alternative: Centauri Energy Server + Sirius Energy Storage
Sirius Energy Storage provides a safer, and better storage alternative to chemical batteries. The Centauri Energy Server provides a superior power electronics solution in all applications—regardless of location, power requirements, and energy source.
When combined, Sirius and Centauri deliver a Non-Wires Alternative that offers unprecedented performance and meets the demands of most use-cases while unlocking the economic and environmental potential of renewable energy.
Kilowatt’s Sirius Energy Storage and Centauri Energy Server have broad applicability as a fully integrated Non-Wires Alternative for utilities in congested feeders or new developments, as well as developers and EPC’s installing solutions at remote locations.
When combined, Sirius and Centauri enable unprecedented performance.
- Can be deployed at any scale and in any location, independent of or connected to available infrastructure.
- When deployed in remote locations with no or poor grid access, can supply electricity from 100% renewable generation, eliminating dependency on fossil fuel-based generators.
- Can be deployed with any combination of generation sources from exclusively renewables to a combination of renewables and fossil fuel.
- Categorized as a long-term asset due to long cycle life of the storage and long design life of the server.
- Delivers reliable and stable utility grade electricity. In locations with grid access, can be deployed at mission critical facilities that depend on uninterrupted supply: military bases, hospitals, fire and police stations, data centers, etc. Centauri can operate connected to the grid, but island and switch seamlessly to other power sources in the event of an emergency.
- For utilities, enables RPS to be met without incentive-based programs such as Net Energy Metering (NEM) and Demand Response.
- For utilities, enables deferment of generation and transmission and distribution (T&D) investment.
