Cummins Inc.’s Power Generation business announced the addition of new Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) solutions to their global product line. Fully integrated BESS containers for AC output, the development of this product represents a significant push towards helping customers reach their sustainability goals.
“The global shift for renewable energy sources is becoming more profound,” said Lucio Kroll, Senior Director New Energy Solutions of Cummins Power Generation. “We’re proud to expand our offerings to include BESS, staying in line with that shift and serving our customers with safe and reliable solutions that can help them meet their energy transition goals.”
Cummins Power Generation BESS solutions are available in two architectural designs: a 10ft container (200 to 400kWh) and a 20ft high cube container (600kWh to 2MWh). Product features include proven lithium ferrophosphate (LFP) batteries for high cycle life, optimal liquid cooling thermal management designed to maximize battery life and reliability, complemented by a comprehensive three-tier fire safety approach. Additionally, the products are completely self-contained with plug-and-play functionality, making transportation and installation efficient and seamless. This solution will respond to the power needs of industrial, commercial and mission critical markets operating in the 50Hz frequency range. The three main use cases are off-grid (remote communities, mining sites, and remote industrial uses), energy management (EV charging infrastructure, commercial properties, and universities) and life-saving facilities (data centers, healthcare facilities, wastewater treatment plants).
With more than 100 years of experience, the launch of BESS solutions continues Cummins’ rich history in power generation.
“When you choose Cummins, you’re receiving more than a product. Customers are backed by our world-class service and support network. You’ll always have a direct connection to qualified experts,” said Kroll.
