Danfoss and PowerTec forge strategic partnership to advance power system strengthening battery systems in Australia

Expanding on their eight years of successful project collaboration delivering key battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Australia, Danfoss and PowerTec reinforce their commitment to develop and deliver enhanced BESS solutions for the most demanding requirements in Australia’s industrial and utility power networks.
PowerTec’s ‘PowerCache®’ battery system design and control put Danfoss’ NXA Active Frontend Industrial Drives features optimally to use for power resilience applications such as industrial microgrids and electric vehicle charging stations. Danfoss Drives’ special power system strengths features and functions include high overload and fault current capability, high-resolution synthetic inertia, voltage disturbance- and fault ride-through and strong grid voltage control. These form the basis for battery system functions like feeder peak lopping, uninterruptible site power supply, solar smoothing, ancillary services for the utility grid, or safe and resilient fossil fuel-free operation of industrial offgrid microgrids.
Danfoss’s Pacific regional sales manager Joris Feekman said, “from the first interaction, it was clear that PowerTec have extensive expertise in power networks and the integration of battery energy storage systems.
The synergy between their expertise and our range of power conversion products has undeniably proven to be a winning combination, as is evident from the numerous projects we have successfully completed to date.
We are excited to continue this decarbonisation journey together”.

PowerTec’s managing director, Michael Jansen, expressed his enthusiasm to form an alliance with Danfoss, a world-leading supplier of industrial technologies. He emphasised: “Beyond the evident technical compatibility, the partnership signifies a shared dedication to serving customers as a dependable supplier in the rapidly expanding landscape of industrial sustainable power supply.”
