The SunFlex Energy Storage platform delivers on-demand clean and low-cost solar power day and night.
Fluence, a US energy storage company, recently announced the launch of a new technology platform called SunFlex Energy Storage, which can increase and extend solar photovoltaic power generation capabilities. The company’s latest energy storage technology platform eliminates daytime solar fluctuations (eg, cloud-influenced). And extend the transmission of electricity to the night, to achieve the on-demand supply of solar power, so that each solar power station clean energy production up to 50%.
Stephen Coughlin, president and chief executive officer of Fluence, said: 'Solar energy plus storage is the cheapest power supply method in many markets today and will reach economic parity in more countries in the next five years. Customers now use Fluence's SunFlex Energy Storage platform, Clean and low-cost solar energy can be delivered on demand day and night.
It is understood that the global growth in solar power generation is significant, and the proportion of photovoltaic power generation to total power generation doubled between 2000 and 2015. However, as solar power generation continues to increase, grid operators responsible for controlling system reliability are managing this. Challenges to the uncertainty of energy. Now with Fluence's new technology platform, we can provide solar power when it is most needed, not just when there is electricity. This innovation also no longer needs to deal with solar fluctuations. Back-up generation (such as peaking gas or reciprocating engines). This is particularly important for many microgrids and islands where solar energy and energy storage combine to become the cheapest and most reliable form of energy today.
John Zahurancik, chief operating officer of Fluence, said: 'The Fluence team initially developed an energy storage solution to replace traditional power facilities with low efficiency or underutilization, such as power reserves, peaking. With new power investment mainly flowing to solar power, we have Opportunity makes it more efficient from the beginning. '
