Coulomb Solutions has announced it has supplied Critical Loop with a 2.33 MWh mobile Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) that includes an integral 1 MW inverter. Coulomb Solutions says Critical Loop will add the unit to its portfolio of mobile BESS assets to address electric grid-capacity constraints affecting EV charging infrastructure, logistics hubs, data centers, and new developments.
According to Coulomb Solutions, the system is part of its “Green Energy ToGo” series of scalable mobile energy systems designed for frequent transport to serve “bridge” charging needs while customers wait for utility service upgrades that can take two years or more. Coulomb Solutions also says Critical Loop will deploy the 2.33 MWh BESS as part of “rapidly deployable and scalable microgrids” that include “advanced predictive software.”
On the hardware side, Coulomb Solutions says its mobile BESS is designed with vehicle-rated packs for daily transport and uses long-life, high-density lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries from CATL. Coulomb Solutions also reports the system uses “the highest rated components” and a vehicle-rated integrated thermal management system, with an operating temperature range of -10 to 50 deg C.
For safety and code compliance, Coulomb Solutions says its BESS systems using CATL LFP packs have passed the UL 9540A test method. Coulomb Solutions notes the mobile BESS can power a charger up to 1 MW, or any combination of chargers up to 1 MW.
“CSI’s ‘Green Energy ToGo’ mobile BESS units will help Critical Loop supply reliable temporary power for manufacturing facilities, EV charging, data centers, and other applications where electric grid capacity has become a bottleneck and DC fast charging is needed today,” said David Mazaika, CEO of Coulomb Solutions.
