Advantages of UPS Technology
- Kinetic Drive Systems provide dynamic, uninterrupted power using kinetic energy and are designed to meet the most demanding challenges in power grid stabilization.
- Lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) because at medium and high power ratings, drive systems are more cost-effective, reducing electricity consumption and maintenance costs.
- Smaller Dimensions. The number of components and the monoblock structure make the dynamic UPS compact, reducing its size by up to 40% compared to a static UPS system with equivalent rated power—making it the smallest on the market.
- Power Conditioning. In addition to providing instant emergency power, dynamic UPS also functions as a power conditioner by filtering voltage surges and harmonic disturbances, regulating load voltages within tolerance, ensuring clean energy for consumers.
- Medium Voltage Systems are an ideal solution for critical medium-voltage loads or when larger distribution distances need to be covered.
- Lower Environmental Impact as dynamic UPS systems do not require heavy batteries and do not generate chemical waste. Energy is immediately available from the kinetic energy storage unit to ensure power until the diesel engine is activated.
Save energy with combined heat and power (CHP): innovative technology for efficiency and savings
Cogeneration (CHP – Combined Heat and Power) is an innovative technology that enables the simultaneous production of electricity and heat, which contributes to significant saving. This solution, which uses up to approximately 90% of the chemical energy contained in the fuel, makes it possible to maximise the use of resources and reduce the costs associated with the provision of energy.
The process of cogeneration is based on the operation of a combustion engine, which generates mechanical energy that is transferred to drive a current generator. The electricity produced can be used for the facility’s own needs or transferred to the distribution network, contributing to effective electricity management. At the same time, the cogeneration process generates a significant amount of thermal energy associated with engine cooling and heat in the exhaust gas. Through the use of heat exchangers, this additional heat energy can be used efficiently in the facility, helping to optimise thermal energy consumption and saving costs.
Through cogeneration, the investor:
- becomes an autoproducer and autoconsumer of electricity and heat,
- has a stable energy price for electricity, independent of energy prices from the distribution network,
- avoidance of distribution fee variable, including: RES fee, transition fee, co-generation fee, power fee (approx. 45 PLN/MWh drawn from the grid),
- receives the possibility of a subsidy* for each MWh of electricity produced from high-efficiency cogeneration (* according to the Decree of the Minister of Climate and Environment, the amount of the guaranteed premium is subject to change/increase each year),
- has the opportunity to obtain a subsidy for the construction of high-efficiency cogeneration,
- partial dependence on the electricity supplier,
- has the possibility of using a cogeneration unit, functioning as an emergency power supply.
Industrial Energy Storage Systems
Trene 215 kWh
The freestanding Trene 215 kWh is an advanced, integrated cabinet solution equipped with intelligent liquid cooling, enabling energy storage at a maximum power of 100 kW. The system can be fully charged and discharged in just two hours. SolaX has used proven LFP cells, which it has relied on for years, ensuring a high level of safety and efficiency.
The Trene energy storage system, with a power output of 100 kW and a capacity of 215 kWh, is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises. If needed, the system can be cascaded, forming packs of up to ten units. This enables impressive parameters: a power output of 1 MW and a capacity of 2.15 MWh. Its modular design allows for precise customization to users’ specific needs.
Aelio
Aelio is a freestanding energy storage system compatible with an external hybrid inverter. It offers an energy storage capacity of 100 kWh or 200 kWh, combined with a hybrid inverter rated at 50 kW or 60 kW. For the dual storage version (200 kWh), the system includes a battery rack that can hold between 7 and 14 modules, each with a capacity of 14.3 kWh. The hybrid inverter (50/60 kW) can be mounted either on the side of the cabinet or on a wall.
The freestanding Aelio energy storage system by Trene stands out for its ability to directly connect to photovoltaic panels. Thanks to various configuration options, storage systems with capacities of 100 kWh, 200 kWh, 300 kWh, or 400 kWh can be created, working with 50 kW or 60 kW inverters. The compact and space-saving system can be installed indoors or outdoors, offering great flexibility in application.
Smart Energy Storage
Trene and Aelio are advanced energy management systems. With features based on machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data aggregation both locally and in the cloud, they enable intelligent energy management. Their main goal is to maximize energy efficiency by increasing self-consumption and significantly reducing users’ electricity bills.
SolaX has developed various operating scenarios for its energy storage systems, such as off-grid mode, Virtual Power Plant integration, use in commercial buildings and industrial facilities, and integration with EV chargers. Additionally, SolaX industrial energy storage systems can be configured according to specific rules—for example: if the 15-minute or hourly energy price (in dynamic pricing) drops below a certain level X, the system automatically starts charging the battery with cheap energy. If the price exceeds level X, no action is taken.
Also worth mentioning is an interesting module that allows the Trene and Aelio storage systems to adjust their operation based on weather forecasts, enabling even more efficient use of free, green energy—resulting in greater savings and improved resource management.
Asynchronous Power Supply
SolaX has equipped the Trene and Aelio systems with an innovative asynchronous phase power supply system. This unique technological solution works excellently when powering a building from stored battery energy. In this configuration, the inverter delivers exactly the required power per phase, depending on real-time demand. As a result, every kilowatt-hour of energy is fully utilized, minimizing grid losses and increasing energy efficiency.
Safety
The Trene and Aelio systems feature a proprietary multi-level Battery Management System (BMS) developed by SolaX. The BMS monitors battery parameters at every level—from individual cells to the entire system. Years of experience and millions of battery packs deployed with built-in BMS confirm that Trene and Aelio are safe solutions, ensuring the safety of both users and their environment.
Energy independence through photovoltaics: financial and environmental benefits
Photovoltaics, as an innovative technology, enables the maintenance-free production of electricity by harnessing solar radiation. The installation of photovoltaic panels allows users to achieve partial energy independence and reduce their reliance on traditional energy suppliers.
A well-planned and executed photovoltaic system can serve users for at least 25 years, providing not only financial benefits but also supporting environmental protection. Photovoltaics is a zero-emission, “green energy source”, contributing to the reduction of harmful substances released into the atmosphere. By installing photovoltaic panels, users can actively contribute to environmental care while simultaneously saving on electricity costs.
Thanks to photovoltaics, the Investor:
- becomes a self-producer and self-consumer of electricity,
- has access to free green electricity, independent of energy prices from the distribution grid,
- avoids variable distribution charges in electricity bills, including: RES fee, transition fee, cogeneration fee, and capacity fee (approx. 45 PLN/MWh drawn from the grid),
- contributes to environmental protection and air quality improvement by supporting low-emission energy policies,
- enhances the company’s image by reducing its carbon footprint.
