4. Function description
Nilar HomeBox i a olution for grid connected energy
torage. It can accept electrical energy from the grid,
tore the energy and provide energy when required.
Between Nilar HomeBox and the grid it i required to
connect the Ferroamp
1
EnergyHub which tran form AC
to DC and vice ver a. The operation i fully automated
and monitored externally via the Ferroamp Energy Hub
Cloud tool.
Nilar HomeBox con i t of innovative and
environmentally friendly Nilar Hydride® batterie
(NiMH) that are ba ed on a bipolar modular battery
olution. The module , in turn, can be a embled into
battery pack of different voltage (VDC) in a imple
tacking operation. The e battery pack are arranged in
a battery tring con i ting of four (4) battery pack .
To optimi e performance, Nilar HomeBox i equipped
with a BMS. The BMS monitor the tatu of the battery
pack and can manage the operation in order to
optimi e performance.
The BMS communicate with the Ferroamp EnergyHub
via a CANopen communication protocol. Among t
other information about recommended charge and
di charge power, State of Charge (SOC), warning and
alarm i exchanged.
