Ultra-Robust Enclosures: Reinforcing protection for Energy Storage System

At EES, Intertec is launching a range of ultra-robust enclosures for protecting field-based energy storage and electronics equipment. To minimize the long-term cost of ownership of field-based equipment in this fast-growing market, the enclosures employ advanced composite-GRP (glass fibre reinforced polyester) structural materials. Moreover, they can be fitted with a complete choice of coolers to optimize battery performance and reliability – including fully-passive systems which operate without electric power.

The global move towards renewable energy is opening up hundreds of new applications for distributed energy storage systems and electronics control equipment. As many applications in the sector are located outdoors and remotely, and will demand long lifecycles and low cost of ownership, Intertec believes enclosures fabricated from advanced GRP materials will become a mainstream protection solution.

Intertec expects GRP to succeed because of the immense track record this material has in the processing industries. GRP enclosures have become the preferred solution for process control and instrumentation protection in the most demanding outdoor applications in the world today. These applications include extreme environments such as the Arctic Circle, deserts, and coastal and offshore locations. Intertec has more than 50 years’ experience of developing GRP enclosures for such applications and has a large portfolio of advanced composite-GRP materials to cope with the environmental protection challenges they present.

In addition to these attributes, Intertec will design and fit enclosures with custom internal environmental controls – such as the temperature regulation that is often required to optimize the life of battery systems. Options include unique passive and hybrid cooling systems – which eliminate or reduce the need for electric power and provide project design engineers with exceptionally reliable solutions.
