Schmid starts distribution of storage solution
At this year's trade fair Intersolar Europe, Schmid Energy Systems GmbH started the distribution of its electricity home storage series, the EverFlow Compact Storage, based on the Vanadium Redox Flow technology.
The system has been developed completely by Schmid and provides between 6.7 and 30 usable kWh at a power output of 2 to max. 5kW with this system, SCHMID manufactures the worldwide first series product for private households that is based on the VRFB technology. The battery unit can be remotely maintained and features a micro controller which monitors and optimizes the charging and discharging processes. By separating the charging unit from the power unit, an optimum system configuration has been found.
Schmid 's EverFlow Compact Storage maximizes the own-produced energy supply of a one- or multi-family house in conjunction with a photovoltaic system, wind turbine or CHP (combined heat and power). The system is also optimally suitable as temporary power storage or for the needs based provision of electrical energy for electric cars (EV-charging station).
The compact EverFlow storage system can be installed in the basement, in the garage or in frost protected outbuildings "“ the space requirement is similar to that of a refrigerator. The advantages of the "flow battery" are its safety aspects, in addition to its 100 percent recycling capability. Vanadium Redox systems are intrinsically safe and neither combustible nor explosive. Schmid manufactures the complete product series at its headquarters in Freudenstadt.
The EverFlow Compact Storage home solution complements the current EverFlow product portfolio of Container Storage systems in the output range of 15 to 45kW and up to 150kWh storage capacity.
