Industrial Applications & Peak Load Shaving
Natron’s unique sodium-ion batteries offer very fast discharge and equally fast recharge capabilities, enabling the concept of peak load shaving from seconds to minutes in a manner normally reserved only for supercapacitors. With upwards of 98% round-trip-efficiency, a wide temperature operating range and no concerns whatsoever of thermal runaway or fire, our batteries are uniquely positioned to function in a peak load shaving system for applications such as:
Industrial process plants
Manufacturing and assembly lines
Heat treatment operations
Oil and Gas Exploration
Displacement of diesel engine generators
Overhead crane regenerative power
Utility peak rate avoidance
Emissions reduction efforts
And more!
An example in the Oil & Gas Industry is as follows. The Natron battery system manages peak loads from seconds up to minutes and fully recharges in less than 15 minutes. Based upon this typical oil rig system configuration, a Natron battery system is estimated to result in a CO2 reduction of greater than 30%, fuel savings of over 20%, and an ROI of less than two years.
When working with a parallel series of generators, Natron’s industrial battery system’s safe, reliable, and high-power energy allows it to displace one generator. By hybridizing these generators, companies can save hundreds of thousands of gallons of diesel a year at every site.
