Batteries are dull tiny things that fall out of TV remotes, but the world’s biggest sport now has a stadium using one to run its games. Far from shoving batteries away in some pokey maintenance area, Arsenal has thrust this future energy source into the limelight.

A pioneering motorsport team, Craft Bearings, has adopted ABB REACT 2 inverter and energy storage solution to help achieve its most ambitious target yet – to become the first team in Dakar Rally history to reduce its use of traditional diesel generators and be 100 percent solar powered for the service and support team.

A -0.02 beta indicates that Tecogen Inc. is 102.00% less volatile compared to S&P 500. ABB Ltd’s 24.00% more volatile than S&P 500 volatility due to the company’s 1.24 beta.

I am pleasantly surprised at the functionality of this unit. It is remarkable flexible in several ways. The input voltage may vary from 100 to 550 VDC, with the maximum DC voltage listed as 600 VDC. That’s quite impressive, if you have your druthers, you’d always want to be on the high side of 350 VDC to drive a 240 VAC inverter, but the lower limit of 100 VDC means you could conceivable drive this unit with lead-acid batteries. I understand that you can sometimes buy used golf cart batteries cheaply, which with a little bit of desulfating, and keeping the charge above 50% can last a long time. Anyway, the huge amount of voltage flexibility is wonderfully resistant to changes in battery technology over the decades. If the best, as in cheapest per kWh batteries end up being huge cells, sort of like lead acid batteries instead of the many small cell, high voltage batteries we envision today, you are ready for it. The unit can operate at 50, or 60hz, meaning it will work in Japan, or Europe, as well as North, and South America. Presumably, the unit can also serve as a charger for the batteries, so that price arbitrage can be done with any spare battery capacity. I noticed the unit has 2kW of what the specs call “secure power”, which I take to mean uninterruptible power. If I had one of these, my LED home lighting(but not lamps powered from outlets), my networking equipment, computers, and mobile charging would all be powered by this circuit. The “normal” circuitry of the home will be connected directly to the utility service, and even if you have automatic switch over in case of utility failure, you will see transients, and if there was some sort of failure of switch over, it would be nice to have lighting, and digital communication running no matter what. The inverter, and battery unit are AC coupled, which makes using different types of batteries much simpler/cheaper, but results in a bit lower efficiency compared to DC coupling. For DC coupling, you’d have to have some sort of DC to DC converter to maintain the huge DC voltage range, which would lose any increase in efficiency. On the other hand, the engineer in me likes the simplicity of having the input to the inverter, capacitors for high momentary demand, the output from the solar MPPT circuitry, the output from the rectifier connected to the utility service, and the batteries all sitting on one big DC buss. Of course, for this the batteries would need to be designed for the inverter/battery control unit, at least as far as DC voltage range. I can’t wait to see what these will sell for. Since one design works pretty much everywhere on the planet, and with any batteries, I would think mass production would let it be sold at a reasonable price.

“Basically, the most important thing people can do nowadays is get an inverter that will accept a battery. A battery-ready inverter,” Niles said. “Because there’s a good chance you’ll need one in the future.”
