Does BASF have a NaS battery?

BASF Stationary Energy Storage GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of BASF, and NGK INSULATORS, LTD. (NGK), a Japanese ceramics manufacturer, have released an advanced container- type NAS battery (sodium-sulfur battery) *1.

What is stationary energy storage?

Stationary energy storage by long-duration battery systems is one of the most suitable solutions to ensure reliable power supply at all times. This is where our NAS ® batteries come into play. We, the team of BASF Stationary Energy Storage, fully support you in finding the appropriate energy solution for your individual use case.

What is a NaS ® battery container?

A single NAS ® battery container features 1.45MWh energy. By combining containers, the total energy of the system can be easily scaled up to multiple MWhs. With its capability to discharge for 6-8 hours, NAS ® batteries are ideally suitable for long duration applications such as time shift or peak shaving, but also for grid upgrade deferral.

Are NaS batteries suitable for climate conditions?

NAS batteries are suitable for a wide range of climate conditions, as this project in Dubai, UAE, shows. Image: NGK Insulators Ltd. Designed to discharge energy for 6 hours or longer, NAS battery units are scalable to hundreds of megawatt-hours.

Should NaS batteries be co-located with hydrogen production?

Not surprisingly, NAS batteries have been chosen in several recent projects for co-location with hydrogen production. Across the globe, testing and certification of energy storage technologies from cell to system level according to UL9540A and UL1973 standards is becoming crucial for bankability.
