Space-saving platform for energy conversion system with stacked containers
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11959269B2) discloses a platform designed for a space-saving energy conversion system. The platform allows for containers to be stacked as housings for system components, with the platform situated between the containers. The platform features a frame structure with alignment elements on each side to position containers above one another, creating a vertically spaced arrangement. Additionally, the platform includes a standing structure that surrounds the placement area, providing access to the containers for maintenance and operation by personnel.
Furthermore, the patent describes an energy conversion system utilizing the innovative platform design. The system comprises multiple stacks of containers, each housing components such as inverters, energy stores, and electrolysis systems. These components are configured to exchange electrical power with the grid, providing reactive power, frequency stabilization, and serving as an uninterruptible power supply system. The stacks are arranged laterally, forming a common standing structure between adjacent platforms. The system can be expanded with more than two vertically stacked containers per stack, and the entire setup can be enclosed by a facade to create a building structure. Overall, the patented platform and energy conversion system offer a compact and efficient solution for integrating various energy components while maximizing space utilization.
