C&I Energy Storage Solutions
General
What is the battery chemistry?
LiFePO₄ (Lithium Iron Phosphate), chosen for high safety, long cycle life (>6000 cycles), and thermal stability.
What capacities and configurations are available?
Modular racks and cabinets from 100kWh to multi-MWh. Typical configurations include 215kWh/372kWh cabinets, scalable to >2MWh per site.
What applications does AmpGarden target?
Peak shaving, demand charge reduction, solar/wind integration, backup power, and microgrids.
Charging & Integration
What inverters are compatible?
Compatible with most PCS (Power Conversion Systems) supporting LiFePO₄ batteries, via CAN/Modbus/RS485 protocols.
Can it integrate with solar or wind power?
Yes. Designed for hybrid integration with PV inverters, wind systems, and gensets, for both on-grid and off-grid use.
How is charging time calculated?
Depends on PCS size. Example: A 372kWh cabinet with a 124kW PCS charges from 0–100% in ~3 hours.
Usage
Can multiple cabinets be connected?
Yes. Cabinets can be paralleled to build >10MWh systems. Central EMS (Energy Management System) coordinates operation.
How are the systems installed?
Options include outdoor containerized systems (20ft/40ft) with HVAC, or indoor racks with fire suppression.
Typical load scenarios?
Factories: peak shaving 1–2MW loads. Commercial centers: backup for elevators/HVAC. Renewable plants: smooth solar/wind fluctuations.
Maintenance
How often is maintenance required?
Preventive inspection every 6 months. EMS can run remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance.
What is the expected lifespan?
10–15 years under standard operating conditions (25°C, ≤0.5C rate).
Are spare parts and replacements supported?
Yes. Modules and racks are hot-swappable, minimizing downtime.
Safety
What safety systems are built in?
Each cabinet integrates BMS, HVAC, fire detection, and optional aerosol/fire suppression. UL9540A tested.
Are C&I systems compliant with grid codes?
Yes. Designed to meet IEEE 1547, UL 9540/1973, NFPA 855, and local utility interconnection standards.
Warranty & Support
What warranty is provided?
10 years or 6000 cycles, whichever comes first. Extended service contracts available.
How do I get support?
Contact AmpGarden with project details, MAC codes, and EMS/PCS logs. Remote support and on-site service available.
