Energy Pod200
The Redflow Energy Pod200 is the modular building block
for large commercial and industrial applications through to
‘Community Battery’-scale requirements, with the capability
to store up to 200 kWh each. 20 ZBM3 hybrid flow batteries
are housed in a custom enclosure which provides electrcal
protection and various power conditioning configurations,
enabling it to deliver energy safely and reliably in a range
of applications.

FOOTNOTES
(1) Dependent on PCE selection. (7) Mounting brackets supplied for site fitting. (Testing to required rating still to be conducted.)
(2) Longer deferred or scheduled discharge via hibernation capability (8) Local codes & standards may have differing requirements.
(3) Selected hybrid inverters comply to regulatory approval in AU/NZ, US and ZA. (9) 1,500 mm (60”) recommended if layout space not constrained.
(4) Additional equipment needed depending on inverter requirements. (10) Pod units can be placed back-to-back on this side.
(5) Can operate independent of grid network connection. (11) Seismic mounting brackets to be fixed according to engineered site geotechnical requirements.
(6) Custom enclosures can be designed for extended low or high temperature ranges. (12) Optional, but recommended per enclosure for higher efficiency, flexibility and site resilience.
