Recently, energy solutions provider Powin announced the launch of its latest grid-scale energy storage system, the Pod Max, which boasts a capacity of 6.26 MWh. This new product offers a 25% increase in energy density compared to its predecessor, the 5 MWh model, making it the company’s most powerful and energy-dense product to date.
The Pod Max is designed within a 20-foot liquid-cooled container, emphasizing construction efficiency by simplifying installation processes, thereby accelerating deployment and minimizing on-site work time. Additionally, Powin offers a 20-year performance guarantee along with long-term maintenance services for the product.
Powin’s advanced StackOS™ platform enables real-time monitoring and control of the batteries, ensuring system availability, optimal performance, and safety. Both the 5 MWh Pod and the 6.26 MWh Pod Max systems use the same 20-foot container and achieve an IP55 protection rating, complying with both UL and IEC standards, and feature fire suppression capabilities at both module and container levels. The remote monitoring and operation software allows users to view battery performance at the cell level.
Customers have the option to procure batteries manufactured in the United States to comply with the Inflation Reduction Act tax policies or to choose international manufacturing options in line with Section 301 tariff regulations. Powin has consistently ranked among the top three global energy storage system integrators, with over 17 GWh of energy storage systems deployed worldwide.
However, Powin has faced legal challenges, including a lawsuit from CATL, the world’s largest battery storage manufacturer, for allegedly failing to pay for energy storage battery purchases amounting to 310 million RMB (approximately 44 million USD).
