Photovoltaic inverter and energy storage system provider Sungrow launched a strategic partnership with Ktistor Energy for the deployment of liquid-cooled battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Greece.

PowerTitan 2.0 will be deployed within four energy storage facilities. It is the first time that the liquid-cooled battery energy storage systems (BESS) provided by Sungrow would be delivered to Greece. The provider of solar power inverters and energy storage solutions, headquartered in Hefei in China’s Anhui province, said it established a strategic partnership with Ktistor Energy.

Sungrow is also known as Sungrow Power Supply. The sites for the four projects are in northern and central Greece, the update shows. Their combined capacity is 105 MWh.

The delivery is expected in the summer, according to Sungrow.

Ktistor is a construction company, expanding in the renewable energy realm as an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor. It also develops and integrates its own projects in areas including wind and solar power, BESS and ancillary services. The company is based in Heraklion, also known as Iraklio, the biggest city in Crete island.

Two projects in Greece won support at battery auction

Two investments covered by the agreement are licensed under Greece’s energy storage tender procedure. The other two will participate in the free market, the announcement reveals.

Project Dokos in Rodopi (Rhodope) has a license for 8.88 MW in capability and a duration of two hours, offering an initial usable capacity of 25.1 MWh, according to Sungrow. The company added that Petra in Kozani would feature 7.8 MW with the same duration and 20.1 MWh.

Liquid cooling optimizes thermal management, contributing to battery cycle life and lowering operating costs

Proposed facilities Agia Anna 1 and 2 in Boeotia (also Beotia and Viotia) are for 7.8 MW each, three hours and an initial installed usable capacity of 30.1 MWh, the company added.

PowerTitan 2.0, designed for grid applications, offers enhanced grid resilience, flexibility, and efficiency, Sungrow said. Liquid cooling optimizes thermal management, contributing to battery cycle life and lowering operating costs, it pointed out.

Modular design supports parallel connection and the entire system is preassembled, the company noted.

Sungrow to expand in Europe

Sungrow expressed the commitment to expand in Europe. “We are honored by KTISTOR’s trust in Sungrow’s cutting-edge technology and our team’s commitment to providing top-level support at every stage of these landmark projects. The PowerTitan 2.0’s deployment in Greece will further enhance grid stability and contribute to the nation’s energy transition efforts,” the company’s Regional Director Anastasios Gkinis said.

He is responsible for Southeastern Europe, Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States.

As of June, Sungrow has installed a total of 605 GW of power electronic converters in over 170 countries.
