三星SDI获美国AOP追加1GWh储能系统订单（累计1.5GWh），印第安纳工厂本年底交付

Samsung SDI will supply additional energy storage system (ESS) solutions to US energy company Alpha Omega Power (AOP).
Samsung SDI said on Oct. 26 that its US subsidiary, Samsung SDI America (SDIA), had signed an agreement with AOP to supply 1 gigawatt-hour (GWh) of ESS solutions. Including the 0.5 GWh covered by an initial contract signed late last year, the total supply volume will reach 1.5 GWh.
The product is Samsung Battery Box (SBB) 1.7, a containerized ESS solution equipped with nickel-cobalt-aluminum (NCA) prismatic batteries.
Samsung SDI will deliver SBB 1.7 systems manufactured at its plant in Indiana by the end of this year. AOP plans to deploy the systems in a large-scale power project scheduled to begin construction in Texas next year.
SBB 1.7 offers 17% higher energy density than the previous SBB 1.5 model while retaining the same 20-foot container size. It has obtained certification under NFPA 855, a fire safety installation standard issued by the National Fire Protection Association, and UL 9540, an ESS safety standard. Samsung SDI has also incorporated its proprietary Enhanced Direct Injection (EDI) technology, which uses a module-integrated direct injection system to improve fire safety.
Samsung SDI is expanding its ESS supply business by emphasizing its position as a non-Chinese manufacturer producing prismatic batteries for ESS applications locally in North America. The company is currently negotiating additional supply agreements with several US energy companies.
"We will continue to expand our business foundation and further strengthen our position in the North American ESS market," said Fabrice Hudry, vice president and head of the ESS team at SDIA.
