Specification Sheet

Quantum2

Wärtsilä’s Quantum2 is a fully integrated high-capacity energy storage system designed and optimised for global large-scale deployment.

GridSolv Quantum energy storage system

Optimised for flexibility, functionality and safety

GridSolv Quantum is a fully integrated and modular energy storage system. Compact and minimalist in design, it ensures the lowest lifecycle costs and the smallest system footprint.

The optimised energy storage system comprises the following main parts:

  • Battery enclosure with pre-installed liquid cooled battery racks and all sub-systems such as HVAC
  • AC and DC outdoor rated cabinet, which interfaces battery strings with the inverter and provides an interface for auxiliary power and communications
  • Interconnection busbars and cables

GridSolv Quantum solves many fundamental safety challenges

GridSolv Quantum is one of the first energy storage systems to qualify under the 2023 revision of NFPA 855 and is also compliant with NFPA 69 as well as both UL 9540 and UL 9540A requirements.

Flexible design. Speed of delivery. Optimised energy.

GridSolv Quantum can be paired with leading inverter manufacturer’s products, lending maximum flexibility for project-specific configuration and grid connection options.
