NAS batteries are the #1 choice worldwide for large-capacity energy storage.
NAS batteries are large-capacity batteries with many power grid applications. Superior function and performance possible only from decades of research, design, testing, demonstration, advanced manufacturing and over 15 years of proven commercial operation.
APPLICATIONS
RENEWABLES
Renewables / Power plants
GRID SOLUTIONS
Ancillary / Investment deferral
CONSUMERS
Industrial / Commercial & residential
MICROGRIDS
Islands / Remote grids and microgrids
FEATURES OF NAS BATTERIES
LONG DURATION
NAS batteries are the most effective way to store large amounts of electrical energy discharging for six hours at rated output.
24/7 POWER SUPPLY
NAS batteries make 24/7 power supply feasible with solar power for 6-10 hours
and a NAS battery for 14-18 hours at one-third of the rated output.
FAST RESPONSE
When used with a fast Power Conversion System (PCS), NAS systems can respond to grid commands to store or deliver electrical energy in tens of milliseconds.
COMPACT
NAS batteries can be flexibly deployed in smaller spaces than other battery technologies.
HIGH RELIABILITY
With decades of experience, NAS batteries
have field-proven reliability exceeding 99%.
SAFETY
The safety of NAS batteries has been proven in testing by NGK and third-party authorities and from extensive field experience.
DEVELOPED FOR GRIDS
Development of NAS technology by NGK started in 1984 to provide a more flexible energy storage alternative than pumped energy storage, for the world's largest utility, TEPCO. The first NAS battery system deployment was in 1995.
SYSTEM EXPANSION
NAS battery systems can be cascaded to any needed size (to 100s of MW or more).
LOW MAINTENANCE
Preventative maintenance is minimal and can be scheduled to avoid peak seasons. Maintenance can be done on particle systems while the rest of the system continues operation.
WIDE AMBIENT
Operating Range Climates for NAS projects
range from the cold of Canadian winters to the heat of Abu Dhabi.
LONG LIFETIME
NAS batteries are rated at 7,800 full cycle discharges, or a 20-year calendar life, whichever occurs first. This lifetime is field-proven.
CONTAINERIZED NAS
Containerized NAS batteries, in which NAS
battery modules are pre-installed, drastically reduce installation periods.
