51ÁÔÆæ Partners with Energy Storage Company
Hermitage PA, November 16, 2020 – 51ÁÔÆæ of Western PA recently entered a five year partnering agreement with a leading energy storage company, HI-POWER, a Holtec International and Eos Energy Storage joint venture. HI-POWER builds one of the safest and fully integrated DC storage batteries in the world. Their “Znythâ€� storage batteries are especially stable when housed in extreme temperatures, and are nonflammable, and 100% recyclable.
This new battery technology, a decade in the making, is the most efficient non-lithium long duration energy storage solution. One of the critical components within the battery system requires a “vacuum cathodic� heat treatment process. This newly developed surface heat treatment process enables the product to last 5,000 cycles for a 15-year calendar life with no subcooling or pumps required.
Mike Johnson, Sales Manager for Solar states, “I came upon this opportunity at a trade show four years ago. At that time, HI-POWER was perfecting their critical thermal cycle profiles in a small hot wall furnace in New Jersey. HI-POWER knew that someday they would need to employ a large vacuum furnace – and we had that capability.â€� Knowing the world’s demand for energy storage to reduce the grid requirements, Solar decided to partner with HI-POWER. Mutually, HI-POWER and Solar engineers worked diligently to develop the vacuum cathodic heat treatment needed to fulfill HI-POWER’s stringent specifications. Today, 51ÁÔÆæ of Western PA is thermally processing thousands of components to help HI-POWER deliver clean and reliable energy faster for the world’s needs.
