Growatt Has New Advanced Battery For Global Energy Storage Applications

Growatt launches advanced battery globally for energy storage applications

Global distributed energy solution provider, Growatt has announced the release of one-fits-all APX HV Battery which it claims to be a leading innovation in performance, operation, protection and installation.

Integrated with the soft-switching parallel connection technology, the new battery solution contributes more energy by eliminating the effect of the energy mismatch between packs. Growatt held that this allows each module to fully charge and discharge independently.

Growatt said that in addition, the innovation assures greater flexibility for installation and expansion with batteries of varied State of charge (SoC) and from different new batches, saving Operations and Maintenance (O&M) and supply chain costs eventually. It also features a redundancy design that prevents system shut-down from a defective pack.

Lisa Zhang, Vice President, Marketing, Growatt, said, “To ensure the ultimate safety of the APX HV battery system, we apply five levels of comprehensive protection in the product.”

The Growatt VP also informed, “Protections include the active Battery Management System (BMS) for each cell, the pack-level energy optimizer and built-in fire protection of aerosols for each module, an arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) and a replaceable fuse for the whole system.” Regarding the system’s reliability, APX HV Battery applies an IP66 rating of protection and smart self-heating technology to enable operation outdoors and at the lowest temperature of -10℃.”

Growatt has its Plug-and-Play solution that enables efficient installation, and APX HV battery eliminates the pre-charging process, reducing efforts and time needed during parallel connection and maintenance to the greatest degree. When new battery packs are added, the APX HV system dynamically recognizes and upgrades the software automatically to the latest version for the previous batteries.

Zhang adds, “With a maximum parallel expansion to 60kWh of electricity by two clusters, the one-fits-all battery is compatible with our single-phase, split-phase and three-phase Battery-Ready inverters, including MIN 2500-6000TL-XH, MIN 3000-11400TL-XH-US, MOD 3-10KTL3-XH for residential application, as well as our MID 12-30KTL3-XH inverters for commercial application.”

Recently, Growatt unveiled its new series of inverters, technologies, sustainable EV charging and portable power solution for Indian customers at Intersolar India Expo 2022 in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
