The BOSS’ new cabinet-based form factor offers large scale Solar + Storage projects the best of both worlds – the granularity of battery rack-based charging with the convenience of a centralized solution
Hatboro, PA – Alencon Systems LLC will debut the outdoor rated, pad mounted form factor of its unique Bi-Directional Optimizer for Storage Systems – the BOSS – at SPI 2019 in Salt Lake City, Utah September 24 – 26 in booth #2629. This new approach to deploying the BOSS offers DC-coupled Solar + Storage projects as well as stand-alone grid scale storage projects the best of both worlds – the granularity of battery rack charge and discharge with the convenience of a single, outdoor rated, pad mounted cabinet for ease of installation along with the flexibility of galvanic isolation.
The standard outdoor, cabinet-based package is designed to hold four BOSS units and is rated at 320 – 350 KW, all in a slender, easy to install package. Each BOSS unit in the cabinet can be easily replaced and installed in the field, allowing for easy O&M with no field serviceable critical parts. The BOSS’s galvanic isolation offers a great deal of flexibility in deploying Solar + Storage. Each BOSS cabinet comes integrated with the Alencon Communication Environment, allowing for unprecedentedly powerful and secure communications and control with a battery energy storage system (BESS) and plant controllers.
