AVCON's Mobile Energy Storage: Design Advantages for Off-Grid Solar Integration
Your mobile energy storage systems AVCON can offer a unique advantage in design due to the use of a modular design with DC coupling. This approach results in the elimination of AC to DC conversion losses in the coupling process, allowing for energy transfer to solar panels with approximately 98 percent efficiency. This coupled design results in the system having a direct connection of the photovoltaic panels to the batteries that is further optimized with built in MPPT controllers. These controllers allow for the optimization of the power points as solar energy changes through the use of clouds, solar energy as a result of shading or variations in temperature. The ability to rapidly deploy the systems requires the use of standard connectors to allow for the easy expansion of capacity from 20kWh to 2MWh setups. The containers have a military standard for shock protection with an IP65 rating meaning that the containers can withstand water and dust infiltration which is further evidenced by their performance in a wide range of raw environments from offshore drilling to dusty mines.
AVCON Systems are built for extreme temperatures and long-duration mobile use. Systems perform without failure in temperature ranges as low as -40 degrees and as high as 55 degrees Celsius. Liquid-cooled battery systems including thermal buffers allow continued use of batteries without thermal throttling during high demand cycles. Battery bank and other components are designed to withstand and absorb vibrations and shocks as high as 3 G for mobile operations on rough and or uneven surfaces. The smart isolation system may recognize generator faults in as little as 2 milliseconds. Extensive lab testing has shown retention of 95% of original capacity after 5,000 cycles of high temp discharges at test temperatures of 45 degrees Celsius. This type of testing proves useful in conditions where current grid systems are used. This testing proves durability.
A telecom site powered autonomously for 72 hours via 15kW solar + AVCON 40kWh mobile energy storage, performing well with changing cloud cover and over 40-degree Celsius heat. The system provided uninterrupted power via liquid cooling for radio, backhaul, and environmental sensor equipment. Diesel generator use was eliminated, reducing operational costs by 66%. The unit's mobility provided installation. in 8 hours, making it great for emergencies, temporary power at construction sites, and rural internet expansion without added power lines.
Intelligent Power Management: Enabling Autonomous Solar-BESS Coordination in Mobile Energy Storage Systems
Forecasting Adaptive SOC and Solar Yield: Scheduling Off-Grid Flexible Energy Dispatch
AVCON’s intelligent power management system implements a self-managing mini-grid system, consisting of solar panels and battery storage units. In addition, SOC forecasting utilizes previous energy and weather patterns to project where and when batteries will become depleted two days in advance. Cloud and sunlight prediction algorithms utilize machine learning to analyze satellite data to predict power generation in fifteen minute intervals. These systems work in conjunction to automatically implement non-priority load shedding, instructions to charge batteries to optimal SOC levels, and instructions to reduce reliance on backup generators. In practical testing, generator runtimes were reduced by 40% in solar-generator systems, and batteries were less susceptible to severe depleting and thermal cycling, resulting in a 22% increase in lifespan. This conveys that no human intervention is necessary to supplement generator use, while allowing uninterrupted operation even when extended cloudy conditions exist.
