Power Storage Solutions and Toshiba designed a 125 VDC system to provide a true lithium-ion option for safety critical applications in petrochemical and utility plants.
The proven, 10-year-old technology uses lithium titanium oxide (LTO) in its anode to achieve excellent characteristics, including safety, long life, low-temperature performance, rapid charging, high input/ output power and large effective capacity.
Petrochemical and utility companies have long depended on the proven technology of lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid has provided safe and reliable energy sources for more than 50 years, but not without drawbacks. To get the most out of a lead-acid system, the owner needs to do routine maintenance and regular testing to ensure the batteries’ long-term health and performance. There are other safety-related issues of concern, such as hydrogen off-gassing,…
