Trina Storage, a global firm offering energy storage solutions and a business unit of Trinasolar, has unveiled its next-generation Elementa 2 Pro 5MWh energy storage system for the first time in Australia at the 2025 Energy Storage Summit held in Sydney.
As one of the most influential events within the global energy storage industry, the Summit gathered over 250 delegates and top industry experts from around the world.
According to BloombergNEF (BNEF), Australia is projected to be one of the fastest-growing energy storage markets globally, with cumulative storage capacity expected to exceed 28 GWh by 2030. With a commitment to developing and innovating storage technology, particularly for Australian conditions, Trina Storage is well-placed to make a significant contribution to the sector, the firm said.
Australia’s maritime climate, characterized by high temperatures and humidity in summer, presents stringent challenges for thermal management and the safety of energy storage systems.
Additionally, with a high renewable energy penetration rate and significant electricity price fluctuations, there is an increasing demand for energy systems that ensure both economic viability and stability.
To address these challenges, Trina Storage has leveraged its extensive technological expertise and localised R&D capabilities to deliver a comprehensive solution. The Elementa 2 Pro 5MWh builds on the success of Elementa 2, offering even greater efficiency, flexibility, and safety.
Key features:
Economic Efficiency: The Elementa 2 Pro features Trina’s self-developed 314Ah high-performance Trina Cell, supporting 15,000 cycles (up from 12,000 cycles offered in Elementa 2) to significantly extend system lifespan and reduce lifecycle costs, ensuring a higher return on investment for users.
Stability & Reliability: Designed to withstand Australia’s complex maritime climate, Elementa 2 Pro is C5 corrosion-resistant certified, with IP67-rated waterproof and dustproof battery modules to combat moisture and salt spray erosion, ensuring long-term stable operation in harsh environments.
Enhanced Advanced Cooling Technology: To address Australia’s prolonged high summer temperatures, Elementa 2 Pro incorporates an intelligent hybrid air-liquid cooling system, maintaining an internal temperature difference of within 2.5°C while reducing average auxiliary power consumption by 30%. The system operates efficiently at ambient temperatures of up to 55°C, significantly enhancing energy utilisation efficiency.
