- Integrating electric vehicle charging stations

- Storing energy and using it at peak time for peak shaving

- Supplying power off-grid

- Participating in demand-response programmes

- Selling energy back to the grid

INVERTER DISCHARGING POWER
from 10kW to 10MW+
STORAGE CAPACITY
from 20kWh to 10MWh
CONFIGURATION
Modular and scalable

xStorage Compact, our all-in-one single-rack energy storage system

The Eaton xStorage Compact energy storage system enables buildings owners and facility managers to solve power management challenges for their small and medium commercial and industrial sites. Eaton xStorage Compact helps them increase local renewable energy consumption and integrate the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles on site. Eaton xStorage Compact is available in a single-rack version that is easy to install, ready-to-use with symmetric charge and discharge and back-up ready. The system also includes a control platform with user interface and simple expansion options. This compact system is modular, scalable and well suited for a wide range of energy storage applications.

Enabling the integration of renewables and electric vehicle charging stations

xStorage Buildings enables the Catholic University of Lille in France to integrate its renewable energy production and maximise consumption on campus. The xStorage Buildings system also stores unused energy which is then redistributed during peak periods or when re-charging an electric vehicle. The system is used to power three electric vehicle charging stations. It provides six charging points with 132 kW of consumption at full load, which offers a high degree of modularity and flexibility vis-à-vis the electrical grid.

Ensuring back-up power and peak shaving while using more self-generated solar energy

The Bislett Stadium in Norway wanted to invest in an energy storage solution that would enable it to shave peaks in energy consumption and usage, utilise its production of solar power more intelligently and ensure back-up power for the stadium and the events it hosts. The xStorage Buildings system installed at the Bislett Stadium includes a 100 kW power conversion system and three racks with 30 Eaton battery packs made up of second-life Nissan LEAF battery modules. This is a great example of the circular economy.

Rely on the right partner

Eaton is a power management leader with 100 years of experience in supplying and installing power distribution, uninterruptible power supply and back-up equipment. This high level of capability and knowledge is crucial for understanding how energy storage systems integrate into and operate within the existing power distribution infrastructure, and how the system will provide energy resiliency to protect the bottom line. We ensure the system meets the highest electrical safety regulations and standards at European and national levels. With our servicing and maintenance agreements, we provide peace of mind, from the design, installation and commissioning of the system all they way through its operation.

Specifications

xStorage Buildings can be used for multiple applications.

Ensure back-up power and avoid costly downtime
xStorage Buildings can provide you with energy if the grid fails, thereby ensuring that critical systems keep running and allowing you to avoid costly downtime.
Peak shaving

xStorage Buildings stores energy from the grid during off-peak times or when renewable energy is available and releases it during peak times so that you don’t exceed your maximum demand, thereby allowing you to reduce cost through self-consumption.

 

Increase renewable self-consumption

xStorage Buildings stores renewable energy when the sun is shining or wind turbines are in action, in order to use it morning, noon and night.

 

Load shifting

xStorage Buildings can help you manage your electricity, ensuring that energy will be released to provide for higher loads when demand increases. It can also be pre-programmed to manage loads during normal times when load changes are inevitable, and at times when grid electricity prices are highest.

 

Take part in frequency regulation

xStorage Buildings can store energy and release it to the grid for frequency regulation and to contribute to the stability of the grid.

 

Participate in demand-response programmes
xStorage Buildings can store and release energy when required, thereby enabling you to take part in demand-response programmes.
