World’s First Truck-mounted Mobile ESS Testing System
Background:
SERMATEC, a global Tier-1 ESS (Energy Storage System) developer ranked by Bloomberg NEF, has delivered more than 5GWh of ESS solutions across 30 different countries. The company has been experiencing rapid growth in demand for its ESS solutions across various industries. In 2024, SERMATEC recognized that the commissioning process for these large-scale ESS installations could be a critical juncture. To ensure the ESS systems being commissioned were operating as designed and meeting all performance and safety requirements, the company decided to include on-site testing as part of its commissioning process.
Challenge:
SERMATEC’s traditional approach to ESS commissioning relied heavily on factory acceptance testing and remote monitoring, which did not provide the level of real-world validation needed to confidently hand over the systems to customers. This often led to unexpected issues during the final commissioning stages such as causing delays, increased costs, and customer dissatisfaction.
Solution:
To address these challenges, Soaring developed a comprehensive on-site testing solution that included the world’s first truck-mounted mobile ESS testing system. This system was designed to conduct comprehensive testing and performance evaluation on ESS at any installation site.
Results & Benefits:
The modular design of the truck-mounted testing system allowed it to be customized and adapted to accommodate different ESS sizes, technologies, and project requirements. By partnering with Soaring, SERMATEC was able to elevate its ESS commissioning process, delivering high-performing, fully validated systems to its customers while strengthening its position as a leader in the energy storage market.
