New version (v2) of PowerModule launched ! See video below 

PowerModule by PowerTech Systems

PowerModule is an advanced Lithium battery system for industrial vehicles, mid and heavy duty traction, robotics, and applications requiring high capacity and/or high voltage (up to 819.2V nominal).
Up to 128 modules can be assembled in series, in parallel and both series and parallel.
Depending on the size of the final installation, an external BMS may be required to control the system. For small systems with up to 16 modules and that do not require monitoring in the cloud, external BMS is not required.

BMSMatrix® Technology : Embedded intelligence for PowerModule

the PowerModule range uses our BMSMatrix Technology to handle various combinations of configuration. BMSMatrix® is an advanced technology from our R & D, which enables the deployment, control and management of large battery systems.

BMSMatrix® is the embedded intelligence providing an incredible modularity and scalability to the system: PowerModule can manage storage systems as small as 5kWh-48V, but can easily scale up to some large power batteries up to 688kWh and 820VDC nominal.

Certifications and Standards :

PowerModule has a Type Approval Certification (TAC) for marine applications, obtained from the Bureau Veritas Marine et Offshore organization.
This International certification guarantees that the PowerModule complies with several standards, tests and procedures:

  • IEC 62619:2022 (Standard for cell safety and resistance to thermal runaway)
  • IEC 62620:2014 (Lithium ion cell durability standard)
  • Vibration and environmental tests for marine safety
  • Electrical and functional testing
  • ISO 9001 quality system

Battery modules are also tested and certified for safe transport of lithium-ion batteries (UN38.3 standard).

Thanks to its equivalence with other certification bodies (DNV-GL, LOYDS, RINA, etc.), this certification enables PowerModules to be used in all naval electrification projects requiring international marine classification.

Monitoring feature

As for the PowerRack range, a monitoring and Telemetry service is available for PowerModule® battery system.
This service allows all battery operating parameters to be monitored in real time.
All information are collected by WIFI, 3G/4G, or TCP-IP ethernet networks.
The service is based on a secure API-REST interface based in a secure cloud.

The main features of the service are as follows:

Remote configuration & Monitoring

  • Parameter setting of all battery functions and operating thresholds (temperature range, voltage range, current range, power range, warning thresholds, maximum discharge depth, etc.)
  • More than 70 accessible parameters
  • Remote firmware update
  • Viewing all battery operating data
  • Early phase incident detection
  • Consultation of parameters in the form of graphs and tables
  • Fleet management and preventive maintenance

Data history

  • The data is compressed into 5 levels according to their age
  • The average, minimum and maximum values of each parameter are kept indefinitely
  • Data consultation by a “Time-Shift” function

Consultation 24-7 via WEB Interface

  • The data is accessible on any Internet browser (PC or smartphone) with secure access to the platform
  • The data is located on a secured database cluster backed-up on a daily basis
  • Management of user profiles and access rights for data consultation.
  • All stored data is encrypted with strong algorithm for privacy

SMS or Email alert management

  • An SMS or email alert can be configured to be triggered according to the parameters defined by the user.
  • Alerts can automatically open an assistance or maintenance ticket on the ticketing tools available at the customer’s premises
  • .
