Alpha ESS, a supplier of battery storage systems for residential, commercial and utility-scale applications, is planning to expand its presence in the Adriatic region. To raise its profile, the company presented its systems to a wider audience at this year’s Green Energy Fair in Zagreb. It aims to develop what it sees as a growing market for energy storage in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia, and wants to work more closely with existing partners while building a wider network of installers.

Rising demand
Alpha ESS expects demand for storage to keep climbing in these countries, fuelled by government energy policy, a fast-growing solar fleet and grids that need more flexibility. The trend is already showing in its own figures, as the company has installed more than 300 of its TB125 storage systems in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia so far this year. Each one stores 261 kWh and delivers up to 125 kW, and they are mostly put to work on frequency regulation. For the company, this shows that storage has become central to grid stability and opens up new sources of income.
Entering the home market
Home storage is next on the company’s list for the region, and potential installation partners at the fair got a close look at the systems it plans to sell. They come in single-phase and three-phase versions, and their modular design lets installers configure each one on site to suit the customer. The range runs from household units to larger systems for small businesses, so owners can make the most of their own solar power and keep a backup supply if the grid goes down.

Showing off new storage
Alpha ESS also chose the Zagreb fair for the debut of its new commercial storage system, the Storion-LC-TB150. Liquid cooling for both the batteries and the power electronics keeps the temperature stable, and the company puts the unit’s round-trip efficiency at 91.7 percent. Since no cooling fans are needed, the system runs almost silently, and Alpha ESS says the steady temperatures and fewer moving parts will extend its service life. The unit stores 320 kWh and delivers up to 150 kW, and is also suitable for larger commercial applications.
The company also launched its new Aster 6260 storage system for utility-scale projects at the fair. According to the company, it offers higher power density and a modular design that can be adapted to the requirements of each site. (su)
