70kW Non-Flammable Energy Storage Solution

February 07, 2017 by Jeff Shepard

Alevo has unveiled the GB35, a compact Alevo GridBank delivering optimum levels of safety, robustness, reliability and lowest Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS). The GB35 joins the recently-launched GB50 as part of a new suite of compact lithium-ion Energy Storage Systems (ESS) that are non-flammable and capable of extreme long life (50,000+ cycles). The GB35/GB50 systems are also capable of high power output (70- and 100-kW respectively).

The GB35/GB50 systems utilize Alevo’s patented proprietary inorganic electrolyte – known as Alevolyte – to ensure non-flammability, optimum reliability and safety levels. These high power and safety properties mean the GB35/GB50 systems are ideally suited for dc fast-charging stations for electric vehicles, in addition to must-run critical workloads such as hospitals, data centers, mines, sensitive machinery and microgrids.

The original Alevo GridBank is one of the most in-demand large-scale energy storage systems on the market due to its use of the breakthrough, inorganic Alevolyte. The system offers unparalleled safety, high power and extreme long life, making them the perfect solution to providing multiple services to the grid to facilitate higher rates of energy efficiency, as well as a more efficient use of capital already invested in the grid infrastructure.

The new, more-compact GB35/GB50 systems provide the same, industry-leading safety standards while delivering stackable ESS to meet any capacity requirement.

“We’re proud to unveil our new GB35 system which, alongside our existing GB50 system, delivers the industry’s most-advanced energy storage systems for the commercial and industrial markets,” explained Christopher Christiansen, President of Alevo Inc. “We have designed the systems with safety absolutely central to our thinking, which is why we firmly believe our GB35/GB50 systems are perfectly suited to must-run critical situations where safety is absolutely paramount.”
