Microvast unveils 'ME6' next-gen, LFP battery energy storage system

Source: Microvast

Lithium-ion battery solutions developer Microvast has recently unveil its latest, compact battery energy storage system (ESS) 'ME6' system, along with the introduction of its 565Ah lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, for global markets. 

The company has also shared its commitment to LFP batteries as the cornerstone of its next generation ESS offerings. The new 565Ah LFP batteries are specifically tailored to the unique demands of ESS customers, providing superior long-term performance, cost-efficiency, and reliability, it claimed. 

Microvast will continue to roll-out "ultra-high-performance" nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) batteries that are designed for commercial vehicle (CV) applications. With the latest update, the company is also shifting its long-term US ESS market focus to producing LFP battery systems instead of its NMC battery solutions at its Clarksville, Tennessee facility. 

The battery company will consolidate its US operations to the Clarksville facility, including ESS products which were previously assembled in Colorado. This move is anticipated to enhance operational efficiencies and speed of deliveries for the US market, it noted. 

"Energy storage is essential for carbon reduction and accelerating the global transition to clean energy. Our ME6 energy storage solution can be used for any application where electric energy supply is needed," said Yang Wu, CEO of Microvast. 

"We are excited to introduce this efficient solution and look forward to advancing the industry together with partners in the U.S and worldwide", he opined. 

Product wise, the ME6 battery system claims an exceptional cycle life of over 10,000 cycles and 30-year lifespan, aided by the company's new overhaulable battery design. The system packs 6 MWh capacity in a 21-foot container to make it compact, while IP55, C4, and nitrogen protection enhance fire safety and reliability. 

"ME6 is engineered for enhanced efficiency," said Dr. Wenjuan Mattis, Chief Technology Officer of Microvast. "Our integrated modular liquid cooling system helps ensure consistent battery temperatures, optimizing performance through active cell balancing and enhancing round-trip efficiency while reducing heat loss". 

"These cutting-edge features will help Microvast deliver the reliability and performance required to meet the rigorous demands of today's energy storage market", Mattis noted.
