LARGE CUSTOM ENERGY STORAGE SOLUTIONS

The LionESS captures energy from different sources, accumulates this energy, and stores it in rechargeable lithium iron phosphate batteries for later use. This energy then can be discharged from the batteries and used in residential, commercial, industrial, and utility facilities. Power where you need it, when you need it.

Lion Energy’s family of HYBRID BATTERY STORAGE + ENERGY MANAGEMENT systems is called LionESS and provides cost effective, custom energy storage solutions to reduce operating costs, address power grid instability, and improve the environment.

 

With LionESS energy management software – that is included with our solutions – you are in control of your energy! This includes Peak Shaving, Energy Shift-Time of Use, Energy Backup Power & Energy Arbitrage functions, Black-Start, and can be used with Utility Grid, Solar, Wind, Hydro, and Generator applications.

Safety and reliability are our top priority. All LionESS solutions include extremely safe designs and highest quality LFP (lithium iron phosphate batteries). We are IEEEP2800, IEEE1547, IBR, ISO9001, NEMA R3, UL9540 and UL1741 compliant.

LIONESS BENEFITS

Each of the LionESS systems provide key cost savings and energy independence to your company or customers. Includes the Battery ESS Energy Management System with user interface and programmable modes of operation.

Load Management / Peak Shaving

Balance loads between on-peak and off-peak times. Accumulate energy when the demand is low and discharge stored energy during peak times, saving money.

Backup Power / UPS

Supply backup power in case of an electrical grid failure until complete power restoration. By operating as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), the LionESS can save time and money by eliminating downtime.

Renewable Energy Integration

Integrating the LionESS with renewable energy sources opens the door to inexpensive electricity continuously available to on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid systems.

Black-Start Capability

Based on battery storage, a LionESS can restart after a total shutdown without using external electricity networks. The fast response time of the LionESS helps systems recover in the shortest time possible.

Energy Time-Shift (Arbitrage)

Electricity prices fluctuate. The LionESS allows for energy time-shifting. Energy is purchased at a low price during off-peak periods and sold or used when the price increases.

Frequency Control

The LionESS can immediately react to power interruptions, providing sub-second frequency response, and stabilize the grid. It can also ensure voltage stability, maintaining its level within the specified range.

HOW IT WORKS

The LionESS collects energy from an electricity grid or renewable power sources, such as solar and wind, and stores it using high-grade, extremely safe lithium iron phosphate battery storage technology. Then, batteries discharge and release the energy when necessary—during peak demands, power outages, and in a variety of other applications.

Components of the LionESS

Lithium Ion (iron phosphate) Battery System

Individual Lithium Iron Phosphate battery cells convert chemical energy into electrical energy. The cells are arranged in modules that form battery packs.

Battery Management System (BMS)

A BMS ensure the safety of the battery system. It monitors the condition of the battery cells, measures their parameters and states, such as state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH) and protects batteries from fires and other hazards.

Inverter or Power Conversion System (PCS)

The inverter converts direct current (DC) produced by the batteries into alternating current (AC) supplied to the facilities. The Lion ESS has bi-directional capacity that allow for both charging and discharging.

Energy Management System (EMS)

The EMS is responsible for monitoring and control of the energy flow within the Lion ESS. It coordinates the work of a BMS, a PCS and other components of an energy storage system. By collecting and analyzing energy data, an EMS can efficiently manage the power resources of the system.

WHY WE USE
LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE

Lithium Iron Phosphate, or LiFePO4, batteries are one of the most durable and reliable energy sources on the market and a drastic improvement over lead-acid in safety, weight, capacity and shelf life.

BENEFITS:

Safety

Lithium Iron Phosphate is the safest lithium on the market. It will not explode or catch on fire. It is absent of potentially volatile chemicals that are found in other lithium cells.

Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries have upto 6,000+ life cycles without significantly decreasing performance. That means they last for years. By comparison, the average lifetime of lead-acid batteries is just two years.

Long Lifespan

High Efficiency

Lithium Iron Phosphate has 100% of its capacity available for use. It can be quickly charged and discharged, reduces any downtime, which increases efficiency. This makes it a great fit for a variety of applications.

No Active Maintenance

It does not require active maintenance to extend its service life. The batteries show no memory effects and can be stored for long periods of time because of the extremely low self-discharge rate (<3% per month).

Flexible Use

Because they emit no fumes or require little air flow, you can use them inside or outside. They can be stacked on top of each other or can be used in any position.

Peaks and Valleys Energy Use

Using Lithium Iron Phosphate for energy storage, we can optimize usages and help solve the peaks and valleys that occurs during high and low energy demand usages. This also can help to stabilize the grid from intense demand cycles by allowing you to use the stored energy when you need it.

Renewable Power

For the first time, the generating of green energy can be effectively stored and used as needed. We can harness the power of the sun and use it over and over again.

Lightweight and Portable

Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries are relatively small and light weight. Compared to lead-acid batteries, lithium provides great energy density at about half the mass.

Energy Independence

Energy storage allows you to be independent off the grid so you can have energy where and when you want it. So no worries about black outs, brown outs, or when the grid goes down.
