The two fully integrated Zess storage modules will be utilized in an off-grid, multi-source renewable energy power system for a 15,000 sq.ft. private residence in central Pennsylvania. The Zess Powr PECC will control energy and power input from 2, 15kW solar PV arrays, ten 1.2 KW vertical axis wind turbines and a propane generator to provide a single regulated output for use by the residents as their primary electrical service. The Zess system also provides for future input from a micro-hydro energy source.
Chris Lehman, Envinity's Chief Renewable Energy Integrator, said, "This system will illustrate the state of the art possibilities for off-grid renewable power applications. The peak power and deep discharge capabilities of ZBB's advanced energy storage and Zess Powr PECC power control technology provide a giant leap forward for both off-grid and grid tied renewable energy utilization. While load efficiency will always remain a priority for stand-alone system design, the Zess and Zess Powr PECC system allows much greater flexibility in load and renewable generating source selection. 'Off-grid' need no longer be a synonym for 'bare bones living.'"
ZBB's Vice President Sales and Marketing, Kevin Dennis said, "We are very excited to be teaming with Envinity on their renewable energy power systems. The combination of Envinity's experience and expertise with renewable energy systems engineering and design, integration, and service along with the use of ZBB's Zess 50 advanced energy storage units and ZBB's proprietary Zess Powr PECC hybrid power conversion system provides a well designed, fully integrated power and energy management system for all renewable and conventional electrical generating sources. We commend Envinity in their foresight of a fully integrated and cohesive controllable renewable energy power plant. This integrated solution provides ease and flexibility in configuring these types of systems to accommodate various sizes, numbers and types of generating sources while providing a single or multiple outputs for the customer's use; a true configurable controlled renewable energy power plant for either on grid or off grid systems."
ZBB stated that the Zess 50 regenerative fuel cell is a 50kWh advanced electrical energy storage device which has a high energy density (takes less space) and is constructed from environmentally friendly materials while providing long life and advanced performance when compared with traditional batteries.
