TESVOLT will showcase its new outdoor battery storage system, TESVOLT Forton, at ees Europe in Munich from May 7-9. The system, featuring high-temperature LFP cells and no liquid cooling, enables profitable energy trading for commercial enterprises. With a 15-year performance guarantee at two full cycles per day, it requires only a grid connection of at least 50 kW for operation.
Very fast return on investment
Simon Schandert, Co-Founder and CTO of TESVOLT AG, explained that the company’s new battery system typically offers a fast return on investment, often paying off in just a few years through participation in energy trading. He referred to the system as an “economic miracle,” highlighting that it has never been more cost-effective to operate a commercial storage system. Schandert emphasized that this level of economy is only achievable with a highly robust battery system capable of being charged and discharged multiple times a day over many years.
High-temperature cells in battery storage systems for the first time
To enhance the resilience and durability of its new scalable battery system, TESVOLT is using high-temperature cells for the first time. Simon Schandert explained that these cells require less cooling than standard LFP cells and offer an even longer lifespan. He also highlighted that the system does not require liquid cooling, which eliminates the need for semi-annual maintenance. Additionally, service work can be performed by installers who are not certified to handle environmentally hazardous substances, typically found in most coolants.
Depending on the desired total storage capacity, up to 16 of the new 92 kW storage systems are interconnected on site, enabling them to achieve up to 1.5 MW.
Enabling energy trading for commerce and industry
With the new TESVOLT Forton and together with its new spin-off TESVOLT Energy, TESVOLT AG is offering commerce and industry the opportunity to participate in energy trading and reap profits at last. Until now, it has been very difficult for operators of commercial storage systems to find a trader to trade their smaller storage capacities on the electricity exchange, or they have only been able to take part on less lucrative terms. TESVOLT Energy is changing this by adding battery storage systems to a pool, as the numerous smaller storage systems are only of interest for energy trading when bundled together. The start-up works with Germany’s most renowned traders and puts them into competition with each other – for the first time ever. For customers, this means particularly high revenues and less risk.
TESVOLT Energy uses intelligent software developed in-house to control the battery storage systems in the pool so that they generate the greatest possible revenue with the least intensive operations.
Security plays an important part
Daniel Hannemann, Co-Founder and CEO of TESVOLT AG, stated that the company now offers a compelling investment through TESVOLT Energy, eliminating the need for commercial enterprises to invest in PV installations. With just a 50 kW grid connection, businesses can benefit from the new battery system. Hannemann emphasized the 15-year performance guarantee at two cycles per day, equating to nearly 11,000 full cycles, far surpassing the market standard. He credited TESVOLT Energy’s intelligent software for optimizing system operation, ensuring safety with integrated sensors and an aerosol extinguishing system.
Exhibition stand at ees Europe
