Revolutionizing Energy Storage Safety: CNTE STAR-H Takes the Lead

The energy storage landscape is poised for significant growth and technological advancements in 2024. As countries worldwide transition to cleaner energy sources, energy storage is becoming essential for grid stability. However, recent C&I energy storage fires have highlighted safety concerns. To address these issues, various brands are developing safer and more efficient energy storage solutions.

As a global leading energy storage brand, CNTE, drawing on its extensive technical expertise in safety, launches the new C&I ESS STAR-H (100kW/232kWh).

The new STAR-H adopts an All-in-one design, making it easy to deploy with a single cabinet footprint of only 1.9㎡. Equipped with CATL LFP 280Ah cells, it offers a maximum cycle life of ≥8000. Furthermore, it innovatively integrates Intelligent Power Management, enabling one-click real-time monitoring. The powerful liquid cooling system ensures your safety, while the intelligent thermal management system supports operation at temperatures as low as -25℃.

With its powerful performance, the STAR-H is also next-level in terms of safety. In the following sections, we will delve into the core safety advantages of the STAR-H.

Safety Core 1： Multi-Layer Protection

Our STAR-H incorporates a cutting-edge safety design featuring multiple layers of protection to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Cell Safety:

• Equipped with high-safety CATL LFP 280Ah cells, our product offers comprehensive protection against overcharging, over-discharging, short circuits, and overcurrent.
• The cells are encased in ultra-thin, high-temperature-resistant aerogel insulation pads, effectively preventing thermal runaway from spreading to adjacent cells.
• Each pack is equipped with a fuse for additional short-circuit protection.

Battery Pack Safety:

• The battery pack cover is constructed from ultra-high-strength, heat-resistant composite materials, ensuring that the pack remains intact and prevents thermal runaway from spreading to the exterior.
• The IP65 rating prevents oxygen ingress, mitigating the risk of fire.
• Our battery pack-level fire suppression system employs perfluorohexane to extinguish any potential fire.

Cycle Life: The CATL LFP cells offer a cycle life≥ 8,000, significantly enhancing product durability.

Safety Core 2： Intelligent Management for Optimal Efficiency

Intelligent EMS:

• AI-powered load forecasting enables intelligent adjustment of charging and discharging power, optimizing system efficiency.
• High energy conversion efficiency exceeding 98%.

Liquid Cooling Technology:

• Intelligent thermal management effectively reduces temperature differences between cells (≤3℃), improving cell health and extending system lifespan.

Conclusion

The STAR-H sets a new standard in energy storage safety by using advanced materials like CATL LFP, sophisticated electrical safety mechanisms, and a multi-tiered fire protection strategy. These features ensure secure operation under demanding conditions, enhancing system reliability and performance. As the energy industry evolves, STAR-H underscores the importance of safety.
