The ZESS energy system provides an integrated, scalable, modular, storage system, the company said. The energy storage systems will be used as part of a new elevator system that utilizes power from the grid and renewable energy in ‘Pualani Manor’, a mid rise, multi-family apartment located near downtown Honolulu.
This system will manage the energy usage from a 20kW PV array and allow the elevator to be operated during emergency situations and extended power outages. The scalability of the ZESS system enables future input and storage from other renewable energy sources, the company added.
Nick Dizon, owner, founder and president of Nidon, aid: ”This system will illustrate the state of the art possibilities for grid connected renewable power applications. The deep discharge capabilities of ZBB’s advanced energy storage and power control technology provide a giant leap forward for both off-grid and on-grid renewable energy utilization while substantially reducing CO2 emissions (greenhouse gas).
”The unique benefits of ZBB’s integrated energy storage platform, allows a seamless supply of stored energy to be provided to this new grid independent elevator system.”
Kevin Dennis, vice-president of sales and marketing at ZBB, said: ”We are delighted to be teaming with Nidon on this elevator project. Nidon selected the ZESS system because it is intelligent, scalable and cannot only, time shift renewable energy but can also act as a backup for key electrical systems.
”We recognize Nidon’s experience and expertise as leader in renewable energy systems engineering, design and integration. The Nidon installation, demonstrates how the ZESS system can offer turn-key storage solutions in multiple market segments.”
