Fluence Expands Smartstack Platform with Higher-Density 10 MWh System
Event summary
- Fluence introduced the Smartstack™ 10 MWh system, expanding its platform's capacity options beyond the existing 7.5 MWh.
- The new system achieves a core site-level energy density of ~680 MWh/acre (168 kWh/m²), positioning it among the most density-competitive grid-scale storage solutions available.
- Smartstack 10 MWh has successfully completed Large-Scale Fire Testing (LSFT) and features a compartmentalized design for enhanced safety.
- The system is designed to maximize site ROI, improving land use and reducing balance-of-plant costs up to 40% versus standard DC blocks.
The big picture
Fluence's expansion of the Smartstack platform with a higher-density 10 MWh system underscores the growing demand for scalable and adaptable energy storage solutions. As battery technology and regulatory requirements evolve, Fluence aims to provide a standardized architecture that allows customers to maximize site ROI while minimizing development cycles and execution risk.
