Abb energy storage factory

Where is ABB making energy storage systems?

ABB is making energy storage systems for railways, e-buses/trolleybuses and e-trucks at a new production facility in Baden. The energy storage systems help reduce emissions and increase energy efficiency. Future uses include applications in trolleybuses in several Swiss cities

Why should you choose ABB Energy Storage?

ABB’s fully digitalized energy storage portfolio raises the efficiency of the grid at every level with factory-built, pre-tested solutions that achieve extensive quality control for the highest level of safety.

What is ABB eStorage Max?

The state-of-the-art ABB eStorage Max is a scalable energy storage system based on pre-engineered building blocks. The eStorage Max is designed to maximize the return of investment with an industrialized solution that reduces installation time, complexity and transportation costs.

What is a battery energy storage system?

The battery energy storage system's (BESS) essential function is to capture the energy from different sources and store it in rechargeable batteries for later use. Often combined with renewable energy sources to accumulate the renewable energy during an off-peak time and then use the energy when needed at peak time.

How can ABB's industrial robots improve battery production?

ABB's industrial robots are playing a key role in assembling these high-performance battery modules. By integrating advanced robotics, CMBlu can streamline manufacturing, leading to substantial cost reductions. Automation enhances precision and efficiency in production, which decreases waste and contributes to more sustainable operations.

How are ABB robots used in the production process?

Two ABB robots are used in the production process to ensure that high safety and quality requirements are met: One places the battery cells in the module housing and the other joins them by means of a highly precise laser welding process. All data in the production process is recorded digitally on a continuous basis.
