SUPERSTORAGE

© Energy Renaissance™ Pty Ltd 2019


Introducing Renaissance superStorage™ the world's safest high-energy lithium-ion battery storage platform. The unique safety properties of the award-winning supercell platform, combined with its low-cost high energy density and hot-climate properties, make supercell-powered systems ideally suited for commercial, industrial, mining, resources, utilities, defence, EV service network, large scale residential and telecommunications applications.

WELCOME TO THE RENAISSANCE

ABOUT ENERGY RENAISSANCEWe design, build and sell lithium-ion batteries that are safe, affordable, optimised for hot climates and deliver a positive environmental and social impact. Energy Renaissance lowers the cost of battery energy storage for commercial, industrial and large scale residential customers operating in hot-climates by safely increasing energy density while optimising heat performance. Energy Renaissance has full control of the manufacturing supply chain, which means you can be confident of our ability to deliver on time and on budget. Working with Energy Renaissance means no long delays importing and no need to reconfigure for local standards. And all that translates into safer systems, delivered faster at a lower cost.

"...the company’s ability to achieve 30% more energy

density and 30% less cost when compared to the traditional

lithium-ion battery positions it to cause a major disruption in the

battery industry."

The award-winning supercell platform employs high energy cylindrical jelly rolls in a prismatic case to redefine safety, and in doing so introduces a fourth cell format industry standard.

"Independent testing by government research laboratories, as well as economic assessment by DNV-GL, has validated the safety and benefits of this new battery system. The company’s

breakthrough innovations dramatically improve performance, reduce costs, and boost safety"

LEADERS IN SAFETY

a new safety benchmark

Proprietary ceramic thermal insulation housing enables fail-safe battery packs that are optimised for increased performance at higher ambient operating temperatures for use in residential, grid and transportation applications.

The thermal isolating housing enables a closely packed jelly roll configuration without cascading failure. Novel and proprietary, this non-combustible ceramic fibre material formulation provides very high levels of fire retardant. In addition, the thermal isolation is sufficient to allow large jelly rolls with no roll-to-roll runaway and optimised electrolyte formula enables improved performance at higher ambient temperatures.

Battery failures typically happen when;

• A manufacturing defect or mechanical impact causes an internal short circuit

• A failure in charging protection causes an overcharge

• Excessive currents when charging or discharging

• A failure in external short protection causes an external short circuit

While the rate of field failure is statistically low, the number of cells employed in commercial installations means it's likely some failure will occur.

An industry standard 1MWh Li-Ion Battery is made up of around 144,000 cells with the potential of 420 cells catching fire at some point in their life. At utility scale, an example such as the Hornsdale Wind Farm in SA which is a 309MWh installation and is made up of approximately 45 million cells, sets the heart racing!

External battery safety systems can not mitigate internal shorts.

While a battery management system (BMS) helps the battery stay within its operating boundaries, it does not protect against internal shorts or improve the quality of cells beyond how they were originally manufactured.

3% risk of thermal runaway is unacceptable at utility scale

Thermal runaway occurs in situations where an increase in temperature changes the conditions in a way thats causes a further increase in temperature, often leading to a destructive result.

Patented Supercell prevention;

• Pressure Disconnect Device (PDD) activates and fuse cuts off electrical path to all jelly-rolls

• Vent opens to release pressure and remove hot gases resulting in no ability to heat neighbouring components

• Housing material absorbs and isolates heat which prevents thermal propagation

• Supercell cools down in a safe temperature regime with no possibility to reignite.

No Thermal Runaway.


We address the challenge of hot climate operation from the ground up.

Jelly-rolls laser-welded to the supercell aluminium casing act as a heat sink.

Proprietary ceramic casing isolate jelly rolls to prevent thermal runaway and maintain temperature consistency throughout the supercell.

Electrolyte formulation optimised for higher ambient temperature operation.

Energy Renaissance proprietary systems designs amplify and extend heat mitigation at a systems level. The result is a lithium-ion supercell optimised for the unique challenges of the Australian and South-East Asian climates.

HOT CLIMATE READY


Most lithium-Ion batteries perform optimally at around 21ºC. Battery performance decreases significantly as temperatures rise above 40ºC.

STORED ENERGY REQUIRED FOR COOLING

In climates above 25ºC ‘parasitical’ power can consume up to 30% of the energy stored, resulting in higher lifetime costs.
