Delta outlines hydrogen and sustainable tech future at All Energy 2024

Delta has provided a glimpse of a more sustainable future; unveiling a slew of new innovations at Melbourne’s All Energy Australia expo (October 23 and 24).

They include Delta’s new lithium ferrous phosphate (LFP) battery container, “All in One” (AiO) Energy Storage System and a prototype of the company’s Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) hydrogen technology.

Delta’s LFP battery container is designed for grid-scale and medium to large-scale industrial energy storage applications. Built on a standard three-metre shipping container with compact design and simple installation procedure, the battery system can be rapidly deployed.

The LFP battery container offers high energy density, with scalability from 708kWh to 7.78MWh, allowing it to accommodate varying spatial and capacity requirements for different sites, optimising land use.

Delta’s AiO Box with a capacity of 125kW/279kWh is an energy storage system that integrates a power conditioning system (PCS), advanced battery system with a built-in battery management system (BMS) and cooling system into an all-in-one solution.

The AiO Box features liquid-cooled battery modules that maintain optimal temperature uniformity, enhancing performance and extending battery life, while its robust construction allows it to withstand harsh environmental conditions, says Delta.

“This versatile system is scalable and suitable for various configurations, including grid-tied and off-grid scenarios such as power backup, peak shaving, load shifting, PV self-consumption, and PV smoothing.”

Delta’s SOFC/SOEC hydrogen technology, debuting at All Energy, gives visitors a look at the company’s intent to be a leader in hydrogen energy.

”This versatile system provides agile power control and fuel flexibility, making it ideal for powering vehicles, industrial operations, data centres, and microgrids,” says Delta.

The hydrogen technology comes as Delta begins its collaboration with United KIngdom-listed Ceres Power Limited, utilising its hydrogen stack technology portfolio to continue hydrogen tech research and development

Delta has also revealed its production timeframe for its new hydrogen tech – currently in the development stage.

The company intends to launch the first production-ready units of its SOEC and SOFC technology in 2026, before looking at expanding its utility and commercial applications in following years.

Delta Electronics Thailand chief operating officer Chang Tsai-hsing at All Energy,

shared further details about the company’s research and development of hydrogen

tech at the All-Energy event.

“As the global market has shown, there is likely to be multiple paths in achieving more sustainable cities and transport, with hydrogen energy emerging as one of those paths,” he says.

“Delta’s SOFC prototype points towards our future as a leading producer of hydrogen energy, storage and refuelling technology in the region.

“As a critical manufacturing hub and a strong partner of Australia’s, we believe that Thailand has a huge part to play in developing critical future technologies that not only serve Asia Pacific, but around the world.”

Delta Australia country manager Tom Hew says this year’s All Energy expo is a perfect opportunity to give Australians a glimpse of what to expect from the sustainable business.

“Australia’s tech and energy sector shows no signs of slowing down, and at Delta Electronics Australia we see it as our mission to drive innovation within the APAC region, while maintaining a strong focus on the long-term sustainability of our own business methods and products as part of a global team,” Hew says.

Long a key provider of EV charging and componentry, Delta confirms it sold more than three million EV chargers globally.
