SEN

We have been EnBW’s self-sufficiency experts since 2018 – and we’ve been passionately making our customers energy independent since our foundation in 2009. We are dedicated to actively supporting the green energy transition with innovative ideas and sustainable products. Because we’re not satisfied with half measures, our aim is always to create comprehensive solutions that offer you the greatest possible independence and sustainability in energy self-sufficiency using solar power.

Innovative 360° Energy Solutions

For us, comprehensive solutions mean offering a perfectly coordinated ecosystem consisting of:

• Photovoltaic systems
• Electricity storage
• Cloud solutions
• Wallboxes

We continuously develop this system and implement it together with our specialist partners – tailored individually for each of our customers. We have already installed more than 150,000 SENEC systems to support your independence, making us one of the leading providers of innovative energy and storage solutions.

We make no compromises when it comes to the safety and sustainability of our battery systems. The EPISODE project presents an excellent opportunity to expand SENEC’s product portfolio with one of the most promising technological advancements in commercial battery technology. The development of sodium-ion cell chemistry enables local material sourcing and production throughout the entire value chain, while further enhancing the safety of battery systems. SENEC is committed to actively supporting European efforts in battery development, the establishment of a European value chain, and the creation of competitive European battery production capacities in terms of both technology and production costs.

In EPISODE, SENEC will develop the battery storage system by integrating, characterizing, and testing the Na-ion battery modules under near-field conditions. The battery modules, including the battery management system (BMS), will be integrated into the SENEC.Home P4 system. The power electronics will be adapted to meet the new electrical requirements and boundary conditions of the sodium-ion battery, including voltage, current, and power specifications. The energy management system (EMS) will be developed in conjunction with the communication interface between the BMS and EMS. This interface is crucial for efficient data exchange and optimal system performance. The storage system will then be evaluated under near-field conditions on a specialized laboratory test bench, ensuring thorough assessment of its capabilities and performance.
