Lithium Ion batteries for a 400km/h speed record !


October, 2016

PowerTech Systems is glad to be a part of ESTACA Engineering School speed record project: Estaca On The Salt !

Speed Record

The goal ? Building a 100% electric car capable to beat the World record of 343Km/h (213.084 MpH), and, why not, to exceed 400km/h.

PowerTech Systems will design a lightweight battery with very high discharge capabilities (250kW peak power!) to help the team to beat this record.

500 kWh Lithium-Ion battery for German utility grid

500 kWh Lithium-Ion battery for German utility grid


August, 2016

The above picture represents the lithium-Ion battery system that will be used in Germany to manage peak shaving, frequency regulation for utility grid.

An extended version of 1MWh will allow primary reserve service in an European country.

The battery is based on PowerRack Systems with BMSMatrix® technology inside. BMSMatrix® is smart battery management systems, with high flexibility and scalability features. This technology is able to manage batteries from 2.5kWh up to more than one MWh, from 48V to 1024VDC.

Lithium-Ion energy storage systems design

As part of this participation, PowerTech Systems will design local, medium and large scale Lithium-Ion energy storage systems. As, energy storage is the backbone of Netfficient project, several scenarios will be realized:

  • Medium voltage Lithium-Ion battery for Peak Shaving management
  • Lithium-Ion energy storage for 40 self sufficient homes
  • Energy storage for large scale building
  • Energy storage for street lighting
  • Advanced system management and communication with smart-grid core system

In total, PowerTech Systems will be responsible for deploying Lithium ion battery systems. Indeed it represents approximately two MegaWatt hour on the German island of Borkum.
