Exro, a leading clean-technology company that provides proprietary propulsion system technology for e-mobility and proprietary battery control technology for stationary energy storage, has officially achieved UL certification status for its Cell Driver™ stationary energy storage system. Arriving after two years of rigorous development and testing, the certification will enable Exro to market the technology with a focus on commercial and industrial sectors. Talk about the given technology on a slightly deeper level, though, Exro’s Cell Driver™ is essentially designed to optimize performance and reduce costs for stationary energy storage applications. This it does by enabling users to manage energy consumption, safeguard against grid outages, store energy produced on-site, and realize benefits through peak shaving, and load shifting. Furthermore, the fully integrated battery energy storage system delivers at your disposal Exro’s proprietary Battery Control System™ (BCS) technology, something which empowers it to offer maximized cell safety, capacity, and lifetime. Not just that, the Cell Driver also makes it possible for you to efficiently control your power usage, lower electricity expenses, and improve energy reliability. More on the same would reveal how it can isolate defective cells, and at the same time, maintain 100% operational functionality. In case that somehow didn’t sound impressive enough, then we must mention its ability in the context of bringing dynamic micro-protection mechanisms that, on their part, leverage reduction in operating current on hot cells to provide best-in-class safety and minimize the risk of cell-level thermal runaway.
As for how the technology can be used from a more practical standpoint, the applications stretch across commercial and office buildings, retail centers, hotels, restaurants, schools, hospitals, and more.
“Bringing disruptive technology to market is never easy,” said Sue Ozdemir, CEO of Exro. “This important milestone is the result of years of dedication and hard work from our team. We extend our sincere gratitude to our shareholders for their support throughout the UL certification process. The process presented many challenges for both Exro and the UL certifier team as we worked to certify an innovative technology with capabilities that exceeded existing UL testing standards. Thanks to the tenacity and determination of our employees, our energy storage technology is now ready to deploy and bring unparalleled safety, performance.”
Coming back to the development in focus, UL certification is critical when the agenda is to connect to the energy grid in USA, considering it ensures that products meet rigorous safety standards and regulatory requirements. Markedly enough, for Cell Driver™, the approval came after an year-long practical demonstration where the system, including energy storage system (ESS), energy management system (EMS), and webserver, succeeded in weathering harsh climate conditions to effectively collect data, enhance software functionality, and test new EMS features.
Beyond that, Exro also took this opportunity to launch a new subsidiary dedicated to its Cell Driver™, named Cellex Energy Inc. According to certain reports, the stated subsidiary will make sure to achieve specific focus and visibility for its energy initiative. This, in turn, will go a long distance to help the company concentrate resources and expertise on energy storage, enhance operational efficiency and market responsiveness, as well as strengthen customer and stakeholder engagement through a dedicated division.
