LG Energy Solution's new residential ESS to hit US market
By Byun Hye-jin, The Korea Herald - LG Energy Solution said Thursday it is set to launch a new residential energy storage system device lineup called LG enblock S in the United States next month.
Installed
with nickel, manganese and cobalt batteries, the LG enblock S is a device with
high energy density that can provide a wide range of power sources for
households.
“With
LG enblock S products, households can save energy and lower electric bills.
They can also be used as a backup power source when the electricity is shut
down in case of natural disasters,” said an official from LG Energy Solution.
The
device can stack up three, four or five battery module assemblies, which can
supply an energy capacity of 10.6 kilowatt-hours, 14.1 kWh and 17.7 kWh,
respectively. It also supports the parallel connection of two matching modules
for a maximum power output of 14 kilowatts.
Each
module has a specialized battery control unit which offers accurate monitoring
of the battery, the company said.
As
there are no bolts to fasten it, enblock S can be easily installed by plugging
it to a connector in 15 minutes, it added. It can be used in both indoor and
outdoor settings.
The
device also passed the UL 9540A Test from global safety certifier UL Solutions,
which evaluates whether it can prevent thermal runaway fires when the battery
temperature goes up within the house or outside.
Later
this year, the company plans to roll out the LG enblock S+. This upgraded
version offers the LG enblock S device along with the company’s new AC-coupled
inverter, which is highly compatible with solar power systems. It will also
provide the LG Energy Solution Monitor app, through which customers can track
their energy consumption and production in real time.
In
September this year, LG Energy Solution participated in RE+ 2023, the largest
renewable energy event in the US. At the event, it shared its four key business
strategies -- operating a large-scale manufacturing plant for ESS batteries in
Arizona; strengthening its battery supply chain; securing cutting-edge lithium
iron phosphate battery technology; and upgrading its system integration
capabilities.
