Saft battery systems

as renewable markets evolve

Efficient, reliable energystorage is essential to harness an unpredictable natural resource. Saft has solutions today and, as the market evolves, is developing cutting- edge systems with exceptional capability for the future. Specific challenges… …particular requirements
Typically, renewable energy systeminstallations are•sited in remote locations•subject to harsh temperaturesand punishing humidity•challenged by inherently variableand unpredictable wind,sunshine and tide. For these applications an energy storage system should offer•high reliability and availability•ability to operate at hightemperature with little effect onoperating life•good capacity availability at lowtemperature, no risk of freezingor other damage at extreme low temperature•good electrical and mechanicalabuse resistance•high charge efficiency•good cycling capability•ability to operate at partial stateof charge over long periods•minimal maintenance•low weight and volume iftransported to remote places•favourable life cycle cost 2
