CELL CHEMISTRY: LiFePO4

ENHANCED SAFETY- LiFePO4: Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries offer enhanced safety benefits compared to other options like lithium cobalt oxide or lithium nickel
manganese cobalt oxide. Their reduced risk of thermal runaway makes them exceptionally reliable for critical applications such as electric vehicles and energy storage systems, providing added confidence and peace of mind.

EXTENDED CYCLE LIFE- HIGH CYCLES: LiFePO4 cells outlast other lithium-ion chemistries, enduring more
charge-discharge cycles before significant capacity degradation. This durability suits applications with frequent cycling, like renewable energy storage and grid stabilization.

ETHICAL ALTERNATIVE - COBALT FREE: LiFePO4 batteries do not contain cobalt in their cathode material.
Cobalt extraction, particularly in regions with lax labor regulations, has been associated
with unethical practices, including child labor and slave-like hazardous working conditions.
By eliminating cobalt, LiFePO4 batteries offer a more ethical and safe alternative.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: EMS COMPACT

The EMS-Compact (or EMS Sub-Compact) is Lion Energy's proprietary Energy Management System designed for the Sanctuary energy storage system. Here's an expanded look at its main functions and specifications:

Core Role:

Acts as the communications and command gateway between inverter(s), batteries, and solar conversion (PV) components.
Provides a secure user interface for local and remote management.
Collects operating data, maintains optimal operation, and supports continuous health monitoring for safety and performance.

Communication & Connectivity:

Includes Bluetooth for local diagnostics and system commissioning.
Features a SIM card for always-on cloud connectivity. This enables remote monitoring, firmware updates, and analytics.
Supports local and remote (cloud) diagnostics.

Backup Power Features:

Equipped with an integrated backup battery, ensuring critical data logging and status reporting even during complete site power outages.

Utility and Certification:

SunSpec 2030.5 CSIP Certified for utility integration.
PTCRB certified for approved operation on North American cellular networks.

System Scalability & Integration:

For installations with multiple inverters, only one EMS-Compact is required and should be placed in the designated parent inverter.
Battery and inverter components are interconnected with provided Ethernet (CAT5) cables, using a daisy-chain configuration for batteries.
Inverters can be paralleled using dedicated ports; additional inverters are NOT added to the battery communication chain, ensuring correct system logic and monitoring.

Installation & Environmental Guidance:

Designed for both indoor and protected outdoor installation, within -4°F to 131°F ambient temperature.
Requires specific clearances for airflow and maintenance.
Avoids highly humid, flammable, or explosively hazardous environments.
Installation steps include grounding, careful placement, and recommissioning procedures.

LionESS Technology

Lithium Ion (Iron Phosphate) Battery System

Lithium Iron Phosphate battery cells convert chemical energy into electrical energy. The cells are arranged in modules that form battery packs

Battery Management System (BMS)

Battery Management System (BMS) - ensure the safety of the battery system. It monitors the condition of the battery cells, measures their parameters and states, such as state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH) and protects batteries from fires and other hazards.

Inverter or Power Conversion System (PCS)

Inverter or Power Conversion System (PCS) - converts direct current (DC) produced by the batteries into alternating current (AC) supplied to the facilities. The POWERsave has bi-directional capacity that allow for both charging and discharging.

Energy Management System (EMS)

Energy Management System (EMS) is responsible for monitoring and control of the energy flow within the Lion system. It coordinates the work of a BMS, a PCS and other components of an energy storage system. By collecting and analyzing energy data, an EMS can efficiently manage the power resources of the system.

Software - Control and Customize System

App/Software - With our custom build tech you can see your system you can monititor and adjust your system at anytime to make sure things are optimize at all time.

Lion Energy POWERsave systems are raising the bar on what the C&I/utility industry can do. Well engineered and manufactured. Saving money and preparing for the unexpected.
