Peak Shaving
Discharge at times of peak demand to avoid or reduce demand charges.
Load Shifting
Shift energy consumption from one point in time to another to avoid paying high energy prices.
Emergency Backup
Provide intermediate backup power to your business in the event of a grid interruption.
Demand Response
Discharge instantly in response to signals from a demand response administrator to alleviate peaks in system load.
Overview
Introducing The Nu Cube Modular Platform
Nu Cube is a grid-scale, industrial-strength energy storage product designed for the most demanding market applications with industry-leading reliability, scalability, and safety.
Nu Cube enables a range of applications
and grid services, including flexible peaking capacity, frequency regulation, renewable integration, T&D enhancement, and more.
The product is highly configurable to meet your specific operational requirements and can be cost effectively augmented over time to maximize asset value.
The proprietary battery designs include a Battery Management System (BMS) with 3-layers of control and 3-layers of operation protection.
All our systems include a remote monitoring system that leverages modern cloud infrastructure to enable easy and effective remote access to installations of Nu Power’ energy storage systems.
Deployability
This system is fully modular and comes to the field factory built, pre-integrated, and tested in outdoor rated enclosures. Pre-assembled stacks require 50% less time to install on site and localized manufacturing reduces logistical risks.
Safety and Reliability
The new design maintains our focus on controlling fire risk via gas handling and allowing for safe interaction with the system. The maintenance-friendly racking system allows for precise thermal control and an anticipated 80% reduction in replacement time.
Scalability
With increasing demand and solution capabilities, Nu Power is focused on enhanced scalability by using a simple augmentation strategy allowing for the seamless addition of up to 21 stacks per array.

Hardware And Software Built For Each Other
Nu Power’s modular battery system has been engineered from the cell-level up to maximize
energy density and perform rigorous front-of-the-meter and behind-the-meter functions.
Nu Power’s entire portfolio utilize APOLLO Micro-Grid Energy Management System
The APOLLO Micro-Grid Control software is the Renewable Energy industry’s smartest, most
capable EMS that provides engineers, developers, installers, and financiers the tools not just
for design and modeling of Micro-Grids, but it also actually runs the Micro-Grid on a day-to-
day, minute-to-minute, and second-to-second basis in order to deliver those predicted
results.
The OMS component of the software communicates with the various DERs at the
physical location of each Micro-Grid. The OMS picks up it’s marching orders from the APOLLO
SERVERS running in the OpenEGrid Cloud and has autonomous responsibility for day-to-day
instantaneous decision making and control of all aspects of locally located DERs. The OMS
communicates key performance parameters back to the cloud for machine learning, deeper
analysis, and record-keeping purposes.
