Trina Storage, a global leader in battery energy storage systems (BESS), has delivered and commissioned its Elementa 2 systems at two utility-scale power plants in Japan’s Gunma Prefecture. The project marks a significant step in Trina Storage’s expansion in the Asia-Pacific region, where it currently has over 2.4 GWh of BESS capacity under execution.
The simultaneous deployment of Elementa 2 units at both sites was completed in under three weeks—a testament to the company’s high-efficiency delivery model. Trina Storage’s global engineering team worked in close coordination with local experts to ensure a seamless installation and commissioning process. This approach exemplifies the company’s strength in combining global technical leadership with local execution capabilities.
Each Elementa 2 system contributes to a total storage capacity of approximately 16 MWh, which is enough to power around 1,500 households. The systems are designed to support a range of grid services including energy arbitrage, frequency regulation, and capacity firming.
Crucially, the Elementa 2 units meet Japan’s stringent high-voltage grid regulations and comply with major international safety and performance standards. These include the UL certification for liquid-cooled thermal control, IEC 61508 functional safety certification, TÜV NFPA69 explosion-proof ventilation, and Japan’s JET fire propagation test — making Elementa 2 the first overseas product to earn this recognition.
The client praised Trina Storage for its speed, flexibility, and professional execution, citing both the product’s capabilities and the company’s reliable local support as key reasons for selection. Trina Storage’s proven track record as a system integrator, robust warranties, and consistent supply chain were additional factors contributing to the project’s success.
“Delivering two grid-integrated projects within three weeks highlights not only our product readiness, but also our local execution capability,” said Li Na, General Manager of Trinasolar Japan.
