Yitah Lee, President of North AmericaWhile lead acid batteries have proven effective for UPS systems, their lower volumetric energy density and dependence on hazardous lead places them at odds with the sustainability goals of semiconductor manufacturing and fabrication companies.
So, Lead-acid batteries are on a path to extinction. Their able successor is the humble lithium battery. Lithium-ion batteries are becoming the front-runner across various industries because of their higher efficiency.
At the vanguard of providing quality energy storage solutions, Truewin Technology brings clients a better alternative with its lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. Through independent research and leading technology, it contributes to society with green energy.
Making Energy Storage Safer and Easier
Truewin Technology ensures enhanced operational reliability and service life for commercial energy storage with four essential perspectives: experience, technology, third-party certification, and operations and maintenance (O&M). Carrying over 20 years of service experience in the UPS market, Truewin Technology successfully incorporated its proprietary BMS into a 512V battery energy storage system to provide long-lasting energy solutions.
We have years of experience in the UPS sector, which gives us an advantage in applying our knowledge to our LFP battery system
“Our extensive experience in the UPS sector gives us an advantage in applying our knowledge to our LFP battery system,” says Yitah Lee, President of North America, Truewin Technology.
It gains this advantage from its team of skilled technicians with field experience in renewable energy products and battery sales, supply chain management, technology research and development, and strategic planning.
Lithium Batteries: The Superior Choice
Truewin Technology assists customers in replacing old lead acid batteries with its LFP batteries. A seamless transition enables them to achieve their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) targets and provide a safer and more stable working environment.
Compared to other expensive lithium-ion and non-eco-friendly lead acid batteries, LFP batteries are smaller, lighter, and more cost-effective, operating ten times longer and reducing the cost per kWh. They deliver the similar amount of power throughout their discharge cycle while the power discharge in lead-acid batteries gradually decreases. Using lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO) batteries, Truewin Technology sources materials with fewer mineral elements that are more environment-friendly.
To further illustrate the competency of LFP batteries, Lee compares the working environmental temperature between lead-acid and LFP batteries.
The working environmental temperature for a lead-acid battery system in UPS application is 25°C to 27°C (77°F to 80.6°F). The same for Truewin Technology’s LFP battery system is 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). This indicates Truewin batteries are relatively more stable in lower and higher temperature environments than traditional batteries. Since LFP’s operating temperature is wider in range and offers consistent performance, air conditioner use can be reduced and generate cost savings.
Putting this into numbers, after increasing the converting station’s chiller system temperature by 1°C, Truewin Technology discovered that energy consumption decreased by 2 percent. Using six 1280RT chillers (70% of the normal load) for the calculation saves customers 695,000 kWh (695 MWh) of electricity, USD 59,000 ($1.8 million NTD), and reduces 385 tons of CO2 emission annually.
In other cases, the voltage of the batteries must be maintained at certain float charge to ensure it is ready in response to events of sudden voltage drop or power outage. Different batteries have different amounts of energy consumption to maintain this floating state.
Truewin Technology’s team replaced old lead-acid batteries with Truewin LFP batteries, detecting a decrease in the energy consumption required to maintain this float charge state. Compared with lead-acid batteries, its solution can save and reduce energy consumption by up to 87.3 percent.
Truewin Technology strives to develop commercially viable energy storage solutions to contribute to the global renewable energy cause with many similar case studies under its hood.
Industrial UPS and BBU to Commercial and Residential ESS
Using its LFP battery-based industrial UPS and battery backup units (BBU), Truewin Technology primarily provides chipset and semiconductor fabricators and other manufacturers with commercially viable energy storage solutions aligned with their renewable energy transition goals and operation cost reduction targets.
Its battery system is compatible with more than 40 UPS models by major brands, including the dry contact connections, alarm triggering methods, and charging and discharging behavior of different UPSs.
Based on different UPS models used, Truewin Technology can easily provide customers with customized and compatible solutions.
Although large percentage of Truewin Technology’s current revenue comes from its energy storage portfolio for UPS applications, it also offers low, medium, and high voltage product solutions for telecom, data center, and utility grid, among others. Based on the application and energy density requirements, it selects the appropriate battery cell to include its proprietary ingredients (STOBA, Foresight separator, and BMS) and creates the most competitive solution for the market space.
Its strategic planning, cell technology innovation, and R&D expertise are paving the way for a new era in the UPS sector. Truewin Technology has established itself as a sought-after energy storage solution provider with its experience.
