Powin has recently introduced the Pod Max, a new grid-scale energy storage system boasting a capacity of 6.26 MWh housed in a 20-foot liquid-cooled container. This new product represents a 25% increase in energy density compared to its predecessor, which had a capacity of 5 MWh. The Pod Max is the most powerful and energy-dense offering from the company to date.
According to the company’s website, the parameters of the previous Powin Pod products highlighted significant advancements in energy density, enhancing the overall value of energy storage systems. The design of Pod Max emphasizes installation efficiency, allowing for quicker deployment by minimizing wiring and connections required per MWh. Additionally, Powin offers a 20-year performance guarantee along with long-term maintenance services for the product.
With dual certification, Powin implements a multi-layer risk prevention strategy from battery cells to the system level. The company utilizes its advanced StackOS™ platform to provide real-time monitoring and control of the batteries, ensuring system availability, optimal performance, and safety. Both the 5 MWh Pod system and the 6.26 MWh Pod Max utilize 20-foot containers, achieving an IP55 protection rating and complying with UL and IEC standards, which include fire suppression capabilities at both module and container levels. The remote monitoring and operation software provide a clear view of battery performance at the cell level.
Furthermore, customers can opt to source batteries manufactured in the United States to comply with the tax policies outlined by the Inflation Reduction Act, or they can choose international manufacturing options to meet the stipulations of Section 301 tariffs.
In recent years, Powin has consistently ranked among the top three global energy storage system integrators, deploying and constructing over 17 GWh of energy storage systems worldwide. However, it has faced legal challenges from CATL, the world’s largest energy storage battery manufacturer, alleging non-payment for battery procurement, involving claims amounting to 310 million yuan (approximately $44 million).
