The cybersecurity of batteries, inverters and PV systems is becoming increasingly important to ensure a secure energy supply and comply with stricter European legislation. Now, the two manufacturers Tesvolt and Samsung SDI are working together to provide public utilities with a particularly secure, state-of-the-art battery container and comprehensive on-site project management. Data servers in Germany and KRITIS-capable software are designed to effectively protect the new battery storage solution against cyberattacks.
Report: Cybersecurity an issue also for small rooftop solar
In addition, a thermal runaway propagation prevention system aims to ensure it is a safe investment. The new SBB 1.5 battery container with a storage capacity of 5.26 MWh will be compatible with various European inverters. The new storage solution will also enable public utilities to reliably provide grid services and participate in energy trading.
Call for an EU “Inverter Security Toolbox”
“With larger battery systems in particular, there is a risk that they will simply be switched off from other countries – e.g. due to political conflicts. This makes it all the more important at the moment that our energy provider's energy storage systems are as secure as possible against cyberattacks,” explains Daniel Hannemann, CEO and co-founder at TESVOLT. “Our intelligent battery control system is designed to support cybersecurity.”
The new large battery will be launched on the market with a guarantee of up to 20 years and a flexible performance guarantee. The round-trip efficiency is guaranteed to exceed 95%, and the annual availability guarantee is at least 97%. (hcn)
