In an era of fluctuating energy costs and the critical need for grid stability, Commercial and Industrial (C&I) sectors require more than just power—they need intelligent, reliable, and cost-effective energy storage. The limitations of traditional systems are clear. This is why Highstar Sodium, a leading BESS manufacturer, is introducing its cutting-edge Sodium-ion for BESS platform, a solution engineered to redefine industrial power management.
Our C&I energy storage systems, including the powerful 160KW/200KWH Liquid-Cooled BESS, are designed to solve the core challenges of large-scale energy deployment: safety, longevity, climate adaptability, and scalability.
Part 1: Key Features of Highstar’s C&I BESS Solutions
Highstar Sodium‘s BESS architecture provides a robust foundation for any industrial application, from manufacturing plants to utility-scale projects.
- Robust & Modular Design for Any Environment: Our Sodium-ion for BESS solutions are housed in industrial-grade cabinets or containers, engineered for resilience. We offer both Air-Cooled and advanced Liquid-Cooled thermal management systems, ensuring optimal performance whether deployed in a temperate data center or a harsh desert environment. This modular energy storage design simplifies transport, installation, and maintenance.
- Superior Performance in Extreme Climates: Industrial operations cannot afford downtime. Our Sodium-ion BESS operates flawlessly across a wide temperature range, from -40°C to 60°C. Unlike lithium-ion systems that degrade in the cold, our technology ensures consistent output, making it the perfect choice for critical applications like grid stability and off-grid power in challenging climates.
- Uncompromising Safety for Mission-Critical Operations: For C&I applications, safety is paramount. The inherent stability of our high safety battery chemistry virtually eliminates the risk of thermal runaway. This is reinforced by a multi-level Battery Management System (BMS) and an integrated aerosol firefighting system, providing a comprehensive safety guarantee for your assets and personnel.
- Seamless Scalability from Kilowatts to Megawatts: Your energy needs will grow, and your storage solution must grow with you. Our C&I energy storage systems are built for flexible expansion. Cabinets can be easily paralleled to scale capacity from kilowatts to multi-megawatt-hour installations, as demonstrated in our global projects. This allows for precise investment, matching your current needs while being ready for future demand.
Part 2: Proven Applications & Real-World Success
Highstar Sodium‘s BESS technology is not a concept; it’s a proven solution deployed worldwide. Our systems are actively supporting:
- Grid Services: Providing peak shaving solutions for national grids, reducing strain and lowering costs (e.g., 40 MWh & 49 MWh projects in China).
- Renewable Energy Integration: Enabling stable, off-grid power for islands and remote communities by storing solar energy (e.g., 4×1 MWh project in Thailand).
- Industrial & Commercial Power: Delivering reliable backup power (UPS) for telecom operators and supporting high-demand EV charging infrastructure (e.g., 14.85 MWh in India & 1.1 MWh in Thailand).

Beyond a simple battery, Highstar Sodium delivers a fully integrated Total Solution designed to put you in control of your energy. Our hardware, like the versatile MES-240 outdoor cabinet, is paired with a sophisticated Energy Management System (EMS). This powerful combination transforms your facility into a smart energy hub, unlocking significant financial and operational value across multiple applications.
Our C&I energy storage systems are engineered to address your most critical needs:
- Intelligent Cost Reduction (Peak Shaving & Arbitrage): Dramatically reduce operational electricity costs by charging your Sodium-ion BESS during off-peak hours when grid electricity is cheap. The EMS will then automatically discharge this stored energy during expensive peak demand periods, effectively “shaving” the most costly part of your energy bill. This peak shaving solution also enables energy arbitrage, maximizing your savings.
- Maximizing Renewable Assets (Solar Self-Consumption): Seamlessly integrate your solar PV assets with our BESS. Instead of sending excess solar energy back to the grid for minimal compensation, store it in your Highstar Sodium battery. Use this clean energy to power your operations at night or during cloudy days, significantly increasing your solar self-consumption rate and accelerating your journey towards a zero-carbon microgrid.
- Uninterruptible Operations (Emergency Backup Power): Ensure business continuity during grid failures, blackouts, or natural disasters. Our Sodium-ion for BESS acts as a powerful and reliable uninterruptible power supply (UPS), automatically taking over in milliseconds to keep your critical loads running without interruption and preventing costly losses.
By combining our advanced Sodium-ion for BESS technology with a powerful EMS, Highstar Sodium provides a comprehensive tool for businesses to achieve energy independence, resilience, and significant financial savings.
