Orison, Inc., creator of the world’s first self-installable energy storage, has secured a patent for their technology. This innovative device serves as both an energy reservoir and a management system, facilitating efficient energy consumption and storage at the consumer level. By plugging the unit directly into an outlet, users can harness energy from their local electrical circuit, converting alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) for storage and vice versa. 

The unit features a grid flexible converter, which includes dual inverter units to manage the conversion processes seamlessly. At its core, a sophisticated battery management system directs the charging and discharging of multiple energy storage cells, ensuring optimal energy use tailored to real-time demands. Integrated sensors continuously monitor the local electric circuit, enabling the unit to adapt to varying consumption patterns. 

One of the most exciting aspects of Orison’s invention is its ability to connect with other smart storage units via a wireless communications module, creating a network that allows multiple units to work collectively. This feature not only enhances energy efficiency but also contributes to stability in the macro grid by smoothing out demand fluctuations. 

Users can easily interact with the smart energy storage unit through a user-friendly interface displayed on a connected device, allowing them to program charging and discharging preferences. With a capacity of around 2 KWh, the unit effectively manages energy flow, drawing power when demand is low and supplying it back during peak times. As renewable energy sources gain traction, innovations like Orison’s smart energy storage unit represent a critical step toward a more sustainable and efficient energy future, empowering consumers to take control of their energy use and contribute to a greener planet.

Are you developing new technology for an existing application? Did you know your development work could be eligible for the R&D Tax Credit and you can receive up to 14% back on your expenses? Even if your development isn’t successful your work may still qualify for R&D credits (i.e. you don’t need to have a patent to qualify).
