Outcomes

What it does for your project

  • Frequency regulation

    Ancillary services that keep grid frequency stable.

  • Energy trading

    Wholesale trading and price arbitrage.

  • Capacity reserve

    Participation in capacity markets and reserve services.

  • Revenue stacking

    Cubex EMS connects the asset to our trading partner, so one asset earns from several markets at once.

The system

Built for grid-scale projects

  • More energy per footprint

    5 MWh in a standard 20 ft container cuts land, foundations and cabling per MWh.

  • Pre-integrated

    Cells, cooling and fire protection arrive as one block, so less work happens on site.

  • Layered fire protection

    Aerosol suppression, a water system and explosion-proof fans in one container.

  • Harsh sites welcome

    IP55 and C5 anti-corrosion, rated from −30 to +55 °C and up to 3000 m.

One partner

From sizing to operation, one team

We deliver Cubex-5000-DC as a working system, not a box. The same team answers for it from the first sizing to long-term operation.

  1. 01

    Size

    An engineer sizes the system to your load profile, grid connection and target markets.

  2. 02

    Build

    Battery packs come from our plant in Portugal, engineered for European grid codes.

  3. 03

    Connect

    We commission the system with Cubex EMS or your own controller.

  4. 04

    Operate

    Remote monitoring, local service and after-sales from one accountable team.
