Container storage
Container storage in the SpeicherCampus context: typical from roughly 1 MWh upwards. Technically, the term is usually described as storage in container format.
What does container storage mean?
Container storage systems are battery systems in standardized shipping-container format — usually 10 or 20 feet. From roughly 1 MWh this form factor becomes economical: battery, cooling, fire suppression and sometimes the complete PCS arrive pre-wired and factory-tested.
The format solves several problems of the large class at once: defined transport logistics, a weatherproof shell (IP54/55), integrated safety systems and clear interfaces for the electrical design.
What matters in practice
- plan foundation, heavy-load access and crane position early
- observe fire-protection clearances to buildings and between containers
- distinguish AC systems (integrated PCS) from DC blocks (separate PCS)
- permitting and grid connection often take longer than delivery
Practical example
A logistics center places a 10 ft container (Elecnova E10FT, 1,044 kWh) on the former footprint of two cars. Foundation, clearances and fire-brigade access were settled with the authority in advance — three weeks passed from delivery to commissioning.
The SpeicherCampus perspective
At SpeicherCampus, containers are the class for industry, charging hubs and large projects — from the E10FT to the PotisBank L6.25 with integrated PCS.
