ZBB Agile Flow Battery Receives Key Third Party Performance Validation - Seite 2

"The Agile Flow Battery was designed for commercial and industrial building applications requiring 2 to 8 hours of time, so excellent performance, reliability, repeatability and safety are a must," said Brad Hansen, President and Chief Operating Officer of ZBB Energy. "We went from start of design, to completion of first system assembly, in less than 5 months. This rapid time to first article completion allowed for us to spend 3 months in round the clock 'iron man' testing of the product leading up to this very important 3rd party validation test. Despite aggressive timelines and performance standards, we were able to meet or exceed all major performance milestones and demonstrate excellent repeatability and reliability. This is a tribute to our combined ZBB Energy and Meineng Energy team. The yield from this collaboration was tremendous as it incorporated best practices in design for manufacturability and reliability from a large population of engineers, technicians and global suppliers. It is a model for ZBB going forward, allowing rapid product development with high performance results for the products we commercialize."

The distributed energy generation market for commercial and industrial ("C&I") buildings is in the early stages of what is predicted to be phenomenal growth. While implementation of solar PV is now common in many regions, the implementation of energy storage into the distributed generation system is in its nascent stage and can enable the owner of the building to perform many more applications that can both reduce electricity expense and generate cash for the stakeholders. In the United States alone, there are more than 5.5 million commercial, industrial and occupied multi-tenant buildings that spend more than $200 billion on electricity every year, offering a huge savings pool from which to draw.

The Agile Flow Battery is the latest addition to ZBB's leading portfolio of storage solutions, and when combined with ZBB Li Ion storage packages, the hybrid storage system enables building owners or system operators the best possible performance and economics for any charge/discharge profile, providing for both power and energy applications. When coupled with ZBB's patented "Auto-Sync" DC-Bus modular control platform, ZBB provides building owners with a scalable solution that can be customized for any application, effectively "future-proofing" the building as various monetization opportunities become reality. ZBB's energy management solutions are foundational to enabling "Net Zero" or "Smart Export" electricity buildings, and turning properties into cash generating assets.
