The FlashPac™ combines an electric resistive boiler and a steam accumulator into one piece of equipment, to minimise site footprint, simplify electrical controls, reduce the number of pressure vessels and associated piping, valves and instruments.
Windsor now offer an electro-tech solution to transition from fossil fuel boilers to an electric steam battery suitable for the 0.5-5 MWth market.
The FlashPac™ combines an electric resistive boiler and a steam accumulator into one piece of equipment, to minimise site footprint, simplify electrical controls, reduce the number of pressure vessels and associated piping, valves and instruments.
This industrial energy storage system decouples electricity supply and steam demand, which allows optimisation of power upgrades and energy costs.
Features
High net thermal efficiency >99%
Windsor designed pressure vessel, fabricated by our partner in Thailand or in our workshop in Porirua, Wellington
Turndown ratio of approx. 30:1
Element bundles are easily removed and individually replaced
Valves, instruments, feedpumps and motors sourced from global brands with local support
Boiler suitable for outdoor installation (excludes switchboards)
Guaranteed to meet or exceed all NZ requirements and inspections
Switchboard can include ICP to facilitate favourable electricty contracts
Benefits
No water demineralisation plant required – can use standard fired boiler chemical dosing
Avoid, or reduce, lines upgrades, and associated lines charges, due to minimised peak power consumption
Energy storage allows site electricity costs to be reduced through minimising peak energy charges and peak lines charges, by charging up with low-cost off-peak power and participating in energy flexibility markets
Durable, low-maintenance design due to minimal components and moving parts
Zero onsite emissions with no flue or requirement for resource consent
Innovative plant design for high efficiency, simple operation, high availability and low overall cost of ownership
FlashPac™ Management System (BMS)
Allen Bradley CompactLogix PLC
Schneider Magelis 10.4” HMI touch screen
Optional data register and ethernet cable for interfacing with Client’s site SCADA system
Protects the integrity of the vessel from damage
Complies with unattended operation in accordance with the NZ Boiler Code of Practice, for minimal operator resourcing
Solid state power control with no mechanical contactors, providing precise power modulation and enhanced reliability
