Industrial and High-Power Applications

Energy Storage Systems (ESS) for Industrial and High-Power Applications

Stercom develops high-performance energy storage systems based on ultra-capacitors and LTO, depending on the specific requirements.
Our ESS solutions deliver high power within fractions of a second – relieving the power grid by optimizing connection loads through peak shaving, securing critical processes, and maximizing overall plant availability.

Why energy storage systems are indispensable in industry

Production processes in modern industrial facilities require not only a stable power supply but also the ability to handle short-term load peaks (peak shaving). Power grids are designed for continuous supply – not for sudden, impulse-like power demands.

Energy storage systems (ESS) provide the necessary flexibility: they take on loads within milliseconds, stabilize processes, and can even be used as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) or emergency power backup systems when needed.

Typical industrial application areas

  • High pulse power supply systems
  • Automated test systems and test benches
  • Dynamic peak shaving in machinery with load spikes
  • Emergency power and UPS backup systems
  • Energy recuperation in cyclical industrial processes
  • Grid buffering and smoothing of voltage dips

Focus: high-power storage tailored to your project needs

Under our approach for industrial and high-voltage applications, we deliberately keep the technology open – as experts, we select and engineer the optimal storage technology to precisely match your specific project requirements.

Stercom uses ultra-capacitors as well as lithium-titanate (LTO) storage technologies for industrial high-power applications. Compared to conventional lithium-ion systems, these provide:

  • Extremely short charge and discharge times
  • More than 15,000 charge cycles under high current loads
  • High thermal safety (even above 50 °C)
  • Response times under 20 milliseconds

Intelligent cell management & balancing

Our systems feature dynamic, intelligent cell balancing that not only equalizes individual cell states but actively supports overall system performance.

Integrated functions include:

  • Dynamic balancing for uniform state of charge
  • Pre-charging circuits for safe DC coupling
  • Discharge services for maintenance and system shutdown
  • Integrated diagnostics for service & monitoring

Safety and efficiency – even at high voltages

Stercom systems are scalable up to 1,200 V string voltage. Depending on the application, active or passive connections to DC intermediate circuits can be implemented – enabling flexible system integration.

Highlights:

  • Configurable voltage ranges up to 1,200 V
  • Compatible with DC link architectures
  • Protection concepts meeting industrial safety standards
  • High current load capacity per string

Modular, scalable, and ready for deployment

Our ESS systems are fully modular and can be easily integrated into existing or new infrastructures. The flexible slide-in system allows rapid configuration, easy maintenance, and scalable performance – even in confined spaces.

System benefits:

  • Integrated string and power management
  • Plug-and-play system architecture
  • Flexible topologies – central or decentralized
  • Prepared for OEM integration or customer-specific adaptation
