Microgrids
Get Reliability and
Control your Energy Costs
The Problems We Help You Solve
Dealing with Grid Instability
Remote locations require cost-effective insulation from unstable grids, while maintaining reliability.
High Operational Costs
Dependency on diesel generators or inefficient storage drives up operational complexity and costs.
Safety Risks
Vulnerable environments—from remote homes to industrial facilities—cannot tolerate storage that poses safety risk.
The Benefits of Alsym Na-Series
Energy Storage Built for Grid Independence — Planned or Unplanned
Alsym’s Na-Series sodium-ion batteries help OEMs/Integrators provide better energy storage solutions for microgrids.
Reliable High Performance
>95% Round Trip Efficiency (RTE) and high energy density ensure consistent, cost-effective operation even when fully off-grid.
Dependable Economics
High cycle life and minimal maintenance requirements deliver the savings needed to validate the business case.
Safety is Security
Non-flammable chemistry continues energy delivery without the risk of thermal runaway events.
Typical Use Cases for Microgrids
Primary Power
Serve as the main, reliable power source for islanded or remote locations without grid access.
Revenue & Cost-Saving
Arbitrage energy prices and reduce operational costs simultaneously by storing low-cost energy for later use.
Resilience
Keep the lights on during grid failures with a battery specifically designed for extended backup.
FAQ
Why is Alsym chemistry better than lithium-ion for remote microgrids?
Alsym's high cycle life (>10,000) and wide temperature (-40°C to 60°C) range reduces the need for active HVAC and frequent maintenance visits, lowering the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in isolated or harsh environments where technicians are hard to reach.
How does Alsym technollogy improve microgrid "islanding" performance?
During grid outages or in off-grid setups, Alsym batteries provide the high-throughput power needed to maintain frequency and voltage stability. With a Round-Trip Efficiency (RTE) of over 95% and the ability to handle rapid discharge rates, our batteries ensure a seamless transition to islanded mode, supporting critical loads without the voltage sags often associated with older battery technologies.
Can Alsym batteries operate in extreme temperatures without active cooling?
Yes. Alsym batteries are engineered to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -40C to 60C. In many microgrid environments -- from arctic research stations to desert telecommunications towers -- lithium-ion batteries require energy intensive thermal management to prevent degradation or fire. Alsym's thermal robustness allows the microgrid to dedicate more generated power to the actual load rather than to keeping the battery bank cool.
