Module testing for Inlyte Energy

Back Download case study

Case Study Overview

HORIBA MIRA provided module testing support for Inlyte Energy – a US company delivering breakthrough iron-sodium battery technology to enable safe, sustainable, and domestically produced long-duration energy storage.

Tests conducted in HORIBA MIRA’s Battery Abuse Test Facility evaluated the modules performance under realistic cycling scenarios over a period of 30 days. During the 30 days the module was cycled 24/7 with the BMS data being fed directly back to Inlyte HQ.

Successes and Benefits

  • Successfully validated innovative iron-sodium battery technology, achieving over 80% round-trip efficiency in cycle testing.
  • Out of hours running allowed for the cycles to be completed around the clock, safely and efficiently.
  • The safety and integrity of the cells has been proved in real world abuse scenarios, demonstrating it’s ability to withstand crush and penetration without only minor temperature rises measured.
  • Live data feed allowed the customer to monitor BMS performance throughout the testing period.

Additionally, HORIBA MIRA conducted a sequence of cell level nail penetration and crush tests on the same product, providing a bespoke testing solution to achieve successful penetration of the cells.

“Real energy solutions need to be rigorously tested at scale. HORIBA MIRA’s 3rd party testing of our iron-sodium battery demonstrates readiness for the next frontier – field deployment.”
– Antonio Baclig, CEO – Inlyte Energy
