Atlas Copco has unveiled its largest container energy storage system, the ZBC 1000-1200, in the prime power market. This new model provides a power output of 1MW and an energy capacity of 1.2MWh from a single unit. The ZBC 1000-1200 utilizes advanced battery technology found in Atlas Copco’s existing energy storage systems (ESS) to deliver reliable power for critical operations while enabling up to a 90 percent reduction in emissions and cost savings.
The ZBC 1000-1200 is designed for ease of use with quick connection via a power lock socket, eliminating the need for bolting cables to busbars. It incorporates LiFePO4 Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries and an advanced thermal management HVAC system, allowing it to operate reliably from -20°C to +50°C and at higher altitudes.
These models offer flexibility by functioning as standalone solutions or in hybrid mode with various energy sources, including renewables. Up to eight units can be connected in parallel, providing up to 8MW of power.
The system reduces generator dependency on construction or event sites, decreasing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions while lowering operational costs associated with fuel management servicing and maintenance. In emergency situations, the ESS provides rapid power supply during grid failures.
Applications requiring high initial loads will benefit from the ZBC 1000-1200’s ability to handle large inrush currents, such as those needed by modern large cranes at ports.
To optimize performance, all systems are equipped with Atlas Copco’s ECO Controller for monitoring and control by integrating performance data across hybrid energy sources. Additionally, FleetLink telematics allows users remote real-time monitoring for optimized fleet usage and reduced maintenance costs.
Atlas Copco’s portfolio now includes eight battery ESS models ranging from compact portable variants starting at 2kW up to this new largest container battery pack offering 1MW.
