Energy storage company Redflow has completed the integration testing of its zinc-bromine flow batteries with hybrid inverters from Deye.
The integration makes Deye’s hybrid inverter the first of its kind available for use with Redflow batteries, paving the way for a range of new capabilities previously unavailable to the Australian market.
During the integration testing, the Deye inverter demonstrated complete compatibility with Redflow’s ZBM3 zinc-bromine flow battery.
The hybrid inverter has a direct connection of solar and batteries in a three-phase grid-connected inverter and is designed for continuous charging of batteries from solar PV even in the event of a grid outage, as well as a backup generator input.
The device can now provide more options to customers regarding how they can use Redflow’s ZBM flow batteries.
The trial was completed at Redflow’s Integrated and Testing facility in South Australia by Redflow Battery Management System Architect Simon Hackett.
Tim Harris, chief executive officer and managing director of Redflow, said the integration testing with Deye will deliver flexibility to customers around how Redflow energy storage solutions can be used in Australia and other global regions.
“The Deye inverter simplifies the way customers connect to the grid and seamlessly integrates batteries and solar, which will be particularly beneficial for commercial and industrial customers,” Harris said.
Ben Li, Deye’s Australia Country Manager, said the successful integration of Deye’s advanced hybrid inverter and Redflow’s zinc-bromine flow batteries enhances the energy storage options available to integrators and customers.
The Deye 10kW and 12 kW three-phase hybrid inverters are fully AS4777.2:2020 certified and CEC-approved for the Australian market.
In a press release, Redflow said it will also offer the option to integrate the Deye hybrid inverter into their new QuadPod energy storage solution— a customer-designed, scalable, 40-kWh pre-wired enclosure.
The ASX-listed company said it will continue to work closely with Deye to test compatibility across their full range of advanced hybrid inverters.
