POWER BOX - HYBRID ENERGY STORAGE FOR ANY ENERGY SOURCE

Project description

New energy storage system to reduce emissions

Half of the global greenhouse gas emissions are produced by diesel generators, which are mostly used to supply electrical power in construction sites. The EU-funded POWER BOX project aims to reverse this trend with a solution that combines electric energy storage with grid stabilisation. The project has developed a ‘plug & play’ energy storage system with a battery pack and hybrid inverter (patent pending). It can work in parallel with any energy source (alternating or direct current i.e. AC or DC) including diesel generators, renewables and the grid, suiting the needs of construction sites and bigger operations. The project aims to optimise the technology and bring it to market by mid-2021.
