The energy world demands not just power, but smarter power. As industries and grids increasingly rely on distributed and high-density energy solutions, Smartstack™ from Fluence emerges as a groundbreaking AC-based energy storage platform that sets new benchmarks for performance, efficiency, and intelligence. Dorce Prefabricated Construction, with its unmatched expertise in modular construction and rapid deployment, is the ideal partner to integrate and deliver Smartstack™ solutions, driving unparalleled value for businesses and utilities worldwide.

What is Smartstack™? High-Density, High-Intelligence Energy Storage

Smartstack™ is an innovative, high-density, AC-based energy storage platform specifically designed for grid-scale and demanding commercial & industrial (C&I) applications. It represents a significant leap forward in battery energy storage system (BESS) design by combining a breakthrough modular architecture with advanced intelligence. Key features of Smartstack™ include:

  • High Energy Density: Smartstack™ achieves approximately 30% higher energy density compared to other leading AC-based systems, enabling more MWh within a smaller footprint. This is crucial for optimizing land use and reducing project costs, especially in space-constrained urban or industrial environments.
  • Two-Component Modular Design: Its patent-pending design strategically splits the system into two key components:
    • Smart Skid: The base platform housing the system’s “brains,” including advanced cooling equipment, power control system hardware, all cabling, and comprehensive monitoring capabilities.
    • Pods: Battery pods that sit atop the Smart Skid, containing the battery cells. These pods are designed to support cells from multiple vendors and can be easily swapped for maintenance or technology upgrades, maximizing system availability.
  • AC-Based System: Simplified integration with existing AC infrastructure, reducing conversion losses and simplifying grid connection.
  • Locally Deployed AI: Elevates system intelligence by autonomously optimizing embedded controls and providing full visibility across energy storage portfolios, ensuring peak performance and extended asset life.
  • Uncompromising Safety: Built with Fluence’s industry-leading multi-layer protection systems, including large-scale fire testing certification (UL9540A), Smartstack™ ensures top safety levels and minimizes potential damage or downtime from thermal events.
  • Flexible Durations: Offers flexible storage durations, typically from 2 to 8 hours, catering to a wide range of market needs from short-duration frequency regulation to longer-duration energy shifting.
