SubsidieMeestersDecarbonising temporary power & flexible storage
NorthFlex aims to launch the Voltpack Mobile System, an innovative lithium-ion BESS that enhances temporary power generation and energy storage, targeting significant CO2 reductions and market disruption.
Projectdetails
Introduction
The NorthFlex objective is to introduce the Voltpack Mobile System (VMS) to the market. The VMS is a Lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) which will close the gap between two separately developed markets:
- Temporary power generation, which is predominantly served by diesel generators.
- Commercial/industrial scale energy storage relying on stationary, containerized BESS with a high cost of installation and low flexibility.
The VMS's innovative features (mobility, plug and play, modularity, flexibility, sustainability, and digital connectivity) will make it competitive in both these markets. The project also introduces innovative battery pack technology and innovations in manufacturing setup. The VMS delivers a very strong degree of innovation as it represents a considerably changed, sustainable technology which will substitute carbon-intensive products and create new markets for BESS.
Components of the VMS
The VMS consists of two separable units: the Voltpack Mobile (Voltpack) and the Volthub Grid (Hub).
- The Voltpack is the individual self-contained, industrial-grade, high energy-density battery pack.
- The Hub is the central power hub, providing a 400V AC pluggable input and output.
Up to five Voltpacks can be connected to a single Hub, ensuring scalability of the solution.
Current Development Stage
The VMS is at the pilot demonstration stage (TRL7). Development to date has been enabled by leveraging Northvolt's previous experience in the industrial and stationary BESS sectors.
Future Goals
The scope of NorthFlex is to bring the VMS through industrial scale-up (TRL9) and achieve mass production of the product. Fully ramped up, the VMS targets an annual capacity of 457 MWh placed on the market, and will, during ten years after entry into operations, achieve a reduction of 1,165,949 tons of CO2 equivalent.
At a wider sector level, the VMS has the potential to contribute to material further GHG-emission reductions by accelerating the transition to electrified transport and decarbonization of the stationary electricity grid.
