From residential buildings to solar farms: setting up energy storage securely

To increase the efficiency of renewable energy, storage systems are required that intermediately store any surplus electricity, which can then be provided at a later stage when needed. Using energy storage modules requires secure and standardised control cabinet and enclosure technology, regardless of whether the photovoltaic systems are used at private residences or on industrial-scale solar farms. Rittal is presenting “Home4Energy”, a modular system that meets all the infrastructure needs of energy storage.

Rittal’s modular “Home4Energy” series of enclosure, rack and container solutions includes power transmission and climate control technology, planning and design services, as well as software tools. “Thanks to the high modularity and scalability of our standard solutions and the use of globally available standard components, our customers benefit from utmost flexibility in integrating their energy storage systems,” explains Markus Buchborn, Business Development Energy Manager at Rittal.

Rittal offers modular wall-mounted, floor-standing and bayable enclosures (integrated in a container if neces-sary) with high protection categories and international approvals. For installing lithium-ion batteries in the enclosure, users can choose between modular 19” rack-mounted systems and conventional solutions such as removable heavy-duty shelves capable of supporting loads of up to 100 kg. The 19” systems resemble server enclosures: the battery modules are mounted on rails, with the wiring either at the front or the back.

These energy storage systems can be efficiently air-conditioned using climate control systems optimally tailored to their power requirements. The range of solutions runs from simple fan-and-filter units to cooling devices (including chillers) with a cooling capacity of up to 450 kW.

Rittal offers UL-approved busbar systems and ISV distribution enclosures including design verification in accordance with IEC 61 439 for secure power distribution within the enclosure and on all levels of the building.
