Sirius Energy Storage

The world’s first supercapacitor-based energy storage system. Sirius energy storage is safe, effective, and efficient. Modular and scalable, Sirius provides a technically and commercially viable, plug-and-play replacement for chemical batteries, including lithium-ion, meaning you can choose to add storage as required.

KEY BENEFITS OF SIRIUS

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

  • Actively balanced and stable operation at all commercial voltages.
  • Flat discharge curve (module discharge rate is determined by the load).
  • 2% per month self-discharge when idle and in sleep mode.
  • Cell level energy density of 70-80Wh/kg.
  • Supercap cell cycle life and capacity unaffected by a high rate of charge or discharge.
  • Supercap cell projected calendar life of 45 years and cycle life of 1,000,000 cycles.
  • High charge/discharge capability.
  • Wide operating temperature range of supercap cells.
  • No degradation of capacity and efficiency over cycle life.
  • Works with standard inverters/rectifiers/regulators used with Lead Acid or Li-Ion batteries.
  • Non-toxic, with no risk of thermal runaway.
  • Form factor similar to chemical batteries

APPLICATIONS FOR SIRIUS ENERGY STORAGE

CELL TOWERS

Sirius Energy Storage is poised to become the storage of choice for cell tower operators around the world. Its unique attributes include:

  • Compatible with existing rectifier as well as DC electronics infrastructure
  • Wide operating temperature range minimizes (and even eliminates) auxiliary cooling (or heating) infrastructure (and therefore cost)
  • At off-grid locations, rapid charge capability reduces generator runtime (lower maintenance costs) and increases generator efficiency (lowers diesel consumption)
  • Low operational expenditure, low cost of ownership & shortest payback period

SOLAR + STORAGE

  • Plug-&-Play Replacement for Lead Acid & Li-ion
  • Compatible with most existing inverters
  • Safe with no risk of thermal runaway
  • Wide operating temperature range minimizes (and even eliminates) auxiliary cooling (or heating) infrastructure (and therefore cost)
  • Charges quickly – ideal for PV solar at any scale
  • Long cycle life & high delivered efficiency results in low opex so faster payback

BEHIND-THE-METER SOLUTIONS 

Sirius Energy Storage’s exceptional efficiency, cycle life, thermal stability, and safety attributes combined with its commercially acceptable form factor and competitive price point, makes it the most technically suitable and economically viable storage system in the industry for demand charge applications that require repeated cycling.

Whether deployed for residential, commercial or industrial storage, a Sirius storage solution delivers the best performance metrics and economics on the market, making it a viable alternative to chemical batteries.

Centauri Energy Server

The singular solution for power management.

  • Plug-and-play connectivity to storage (does not require additional battery inverter for Sirius Energy Storage, Lead Acid or Li Ion).
  • Handles renewable intermittency by switching seamlessly between renewable generation and storage.
  • Directly supplies the load from renewable generation during generation hours (does not route through the battery).
  • Charges storage during generation hours (concurrently as it supplies the load).
  • Plug-and-play connectivity to multiple DC or AC generation inputs.
  • Seamless switching between multiple input sources without destabilizing the load.
  • Energy blending capability for multiple input sources.
  • Actively corrects power factor losses to 1 on the circuit caused by inductive and capacitive loads.
  • Filters harmonics caused by the load.
  • Includes built-in safeties, data logging, monitoring, and control features.
  • Includes flexible protocols to communicate with and respond to signals from the grid.
  • Is configurable to work in islanded or non-islanded modes. In non-islanded mode, is bi-directional..
  • Auto genset start/stop/control when genset is connected.
  • Form factor similar to chemical batteries.
