Alencon - Model Alencon - Battery Rack Level, Bi-Directional DC-DC Optimizer for Storage Systems
From Products
Alencon’s Bi-Directional DC-DC Optimizer for Storage Systems, the BOSS, is a unique solution for incorporating Solar and Storage using either AC or DC Coupled topologies. The BOSS enables the granular control of charge and discharge of individual battery racks with a patent pending, galvanically isolated approach.
Products Details
The Alencon BOSS is the only DC-DC optimizer on the market capable of managing the charge and discharge of batteries on the rack level while offering galvanic isolation. This unique technology offers system owners and battery integrators a number of benefits, including the ability integrate grounded PV systems with floating batteries and the opportunity to integrate PV and batteries with very large voltage differentials. Based on the desired performance of the battery energy storage system, the BOSS will either charge or discharge each battery rack individually. The BOSS is an ideal solution for building new PV + Storage plants or for integrating storage into existing PV plants.
The Alencon BOSS is a cost-effective way to pair solar and storage. It can also be used for storage only applications. The BOSS offers storage integrators a number of installations options. The units can be installed individually atop individual battery racks inside a battery container, placed in a single rack inside a battery container or installed in an outdoor rated enclosure, either individually on a rail or in a single, pad mounted enclosure called the BOSS BOX. As such, the BOSS offers storage integrators complete flexibility in deploying the product with the highest level individual battery rack utilization and augmentation flexibility. This flexibility allows the BOSS to be easily and cost effectively paired with either string or central inverters.
