REFUstore 50K ...

100K
The next generation of bidirectional
high power battery inverters

NEW
DC-PRECHARGE
OPTION

■ Drastic reduction in BOS costs

■ Maximum power density
■ Easy serviceability
■ Suitable for 2nd Life Battery Application

The REFUstore battery inverter is based on the new inverter

platform from REFU. This inverter is specifically designed
for all high voltage batteries. With a rated power of 88 kW
at 400V, it is perfectly suited for commercial behind-the-
meter applications such as self-consumption optimization
or peak-shaving.

Future Proof: The AC-coupled REFUstore can be easily

integrated with existing PV systems. The highly modular
solution allows it to be used in systems from 50 kW up to
MWs in size to meet the demands of both energy and power
applications.

Maximum Performance: The REFUstore is highly efficient

over a wide range of operation maximizing return on invest-
ment. With fast response times, the inverter achieves high
control performance, making it suitable for time-critical
applications.

Design Flexibility: The REFUstore allows different com-

munication protocols like Modbus RTU/TCP and Sunspec/
MESA. The higher flexibility in system design reduces BOS
costs drastically.

2nd Life Application: With a min. DC voltage of 280V, the

REFUstore 50K can be used in 2nd life battery applica-
tions with ease to support the grid for applications such as
frequency regulation, optimizing self-consumption, peak
MADE IN
shaving etc.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION MADE EASY

The ConnectionBox and PowerUnit can be delivered individually in separate shipments. The ConnectionBox
can be installed during cable work and the PowerUnit just before commissioning, thereby optimizing investment
and project cash flow.

This two-piece design also offers easiest serviceability – the PowerUnit can be quickly detached from the
ConnectionBox for trouble shooting and measurements – without disconnecting the power cables on the DC or
AC sides.
