Bulky and noisy battery energy storage systems could be a thing of the past, as a global technology company, Sigenergy, Tuesday launched its commercial and industrial battery range in Australia.
The compact design has an energy density, the amount of energy stored in a system relative to the space it occupies, of more than 220 kWh/m², the company said during its official unveiling ceremony ahead of All-Energy Australia 2026.
It highlighted that this capacity is much higher than traditional solutions. The latest design, the company claimed, requires only 54.5 m² of space for installation for a 4 MWh project, lowering the land requirements by more than 30% for putting together a similar storage capacity using conventional battery solutions that take up more than 80 m².
”In a 4MWh project, traditional solutions typically require over 80 m² of land, whereas the SigenCube requires only 54.5 m², successfully saving over 30% in overall footprint,” the company claimed.
Beyond taking up less space, these systems can operate at noise levels comparable to normal conversation, making them suitable for installation near office buildings, commercial centers, and even residential-adjacent areas, company officials said.
“It stands out as the quietest commercial energy storage system available, maintaining noise levels below 60 dB at one meter, which is comparable to the ambient noise of a normal conversation,” the statement read.
Apart from being space savers and noiseless, the battery energy storage systems are pegged at supporting peak power loads without the tripping.
The company said that their storage system can deliver 150 percent peak power overload for up to 10 seconds to support heavy industrial machinery.
