Honeywell Unveils Modular All-in-One Battery Energy Storage Solution for C&I Sector

Honeywell has introduced Honeywell Ionic Modular All-in-One, a compact, end-to-end battery energy storage system (BESS) designed for the commercial and industrial segments. By combining flexible battery storage with Honeywell’s advanced control system, Honeywell Ionic helps to optimise energy costs, absorb fluctuations in energy demand, ensuring grid stability, and provide back-up power when needed, the official statement said.

All-in-One BESS

Honeywell’s Ionic Control and Energy Management system is fully integrated into the all-in-one modular BESS. It comes with analytic tools that help in advanced control and customisation on-site.

The firm informed that its advanced control software also incorporates industry-standard ISA Secure 2 cybersecurity. This ensures protection for users and mitigates vulnerabilities against potential network cyber threats.

“Today organisations of all sizes are under increasing pressure to use energy more effectively while simultaneously ensuring reliability and cost-effectiveness,” said Jim Masso, President of Honeywell Process Solutions. 

“Honeywell Ionic enables businesses to navigate these challenges while meeting their energy goals by delivering a complete energy automation system built on the latest lithium-ion technology. Adopting autonomous solutions can be crucial for companies to manage energy costs, better integrate renewables and ultimately optimize energy consumption,” Masso added.

Range of Storage Choices

Honeywell Ionic features a flexible modular system and a self-contained lithium-ion battery enclosure. The new, smaller enclosure enables it to offer a range of power storage options from 250 kWh up to 5 MWh to bring energy storage scalability to more commercial and industrial settings.

Customers can choose from fully integrated onsite energy storage systems to tailored agreements that are controlled by Honeywell through its Remote Operations Centre. The company revealed that Honeywell Ionic is now available globally. 

The launch comes at a time when the stationary storage battery segment (along with PSP) is set to boom in India, thanks to demand across segments, and government incentives to balance renewables addition to the grid. A CAGR of over 20% to 2032 is expected in the category, with LFP chemistry batterries set to dominate for now.
