Vertiv™ EnergyCore battery cabinets save
floorspace with internally integrated accessories and seamlessly
couple with Vertiv™ large and medium UPS systems
Meeting the urgent need for solutions supporting high-density
computing in increasingly crowded data center facilities, Vertiv
(NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure
and continuity solutions, today introduced Vertiv™ EnergyCore
battery cabinets. Factory assembled with LFP
(Lithium-Iron-Phosphate) battery modules and Vertiv’s
internally-powered battery management system, Vertiv EnergyCore
cabinets are available globally and are qualified for use with most
current and legacy three-phase Vertiv™ uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) systems, including the recently launched Vertiv™ Trinergy™
and Vertiv™ Liebert® APM2. Vertiv EnergyCore will be featured in
the Vertiv booth at the Yotta conference and trade show in Las
Vegas, Nevada, Oct. 7-9.

Vertiv EnergyCore cabinets are optimized for five minutes
end-of-life runtime at 263kWb per each compact, 24” wide (600mm)
cabinet, and operate across a wide temperature range, making them
suitable for high-density environments. Lithium batteries are more
compact and lighter than VRLA alternatives, allowing users to
deploy fewer battery cabinets in most applications. An internal
two-hole lug eliminates the need for a conduit box, and the
cabinets require no on-site external control wiring, reducing
deployment time and cost compared to traditional on-site assembly.
The cabinets are equipped with Vertiv’s intuitive interactive touch
screen HMI display to provide visibility and control of the
cabinet, operating system, and the installed batteries.
The integrated battery management system is powered by the
Vertiv EnergyCore batteries, removing the requirement for an
external power source and simplifying installation. It provides
lifetime onboard data storage, tracking performance over battery
charge-discharge cycles, service events, and enabling accurate
state-of-health reports that can be used for warranty support and
predictive analytics. Remote battery monitoring is available via
Vertiv™ Alber™ Battery Xplorer Enterprise.
“The proliferation of artificial intelligence and other
high-performance computing applications is putting a premium on the
ability to deliver more power in smaller, hotter spaces,” said
Milind Paranjape, vice president of energy storage at Vertiv. “With
our Vertiv EnergyCore battery cabinets, we are delivering exactly
what our customers and our industry need – compact, high-density
energy storage capable of operating safely and optimally. Simply
put, these battery cabinets are designed for the emerging
mission-critical needs of high-density computing environments.”
The modular design of Vertiv™ Trinergy™ allows each UPS core to
be paired with dedicated Vertiv™ EnergyCore battery cabinets in a
distributed architecture, enabling uninterrupted service for
critical applications. Due to the density of the Vertiv EnergyCore
design, only two lithium-ion battery cabinets are needed to support
each 500kW Trinergy™ UPS core, versus the three cabinets that are
required by most suppliers. The 250kW Vertiv™ Liebert® APM2
requires just a single Vertiv EnergyCore cabinet, while the 500kW
Liebert® APM2 can be supported by two Vertiv EnergyCore battery
cabinets at five minutes end of life.
Vertiv EnergyCore is UL 1973 listed and has been successfully
tested for compliance to UL 9540A standard for protection against
thermal runaway fire propagation in battery energy storage systems,
which, according to NFPA 855 ESS installation standards, means the
three feet (92cm) spacing requirements between racks can be waived
by the Authorities Having Jurisdiction. This can save space and
speed deployment.
