As the battery energy storage systems (BESS) sector continues to expand, facility operators worldwide are in need of future-proof solutions, made to benchmarking standards.   

Many are looking to China, which has emerged as a leading BESS manufacturer, supplying markets across Europe, North America and beyond. According to NH Fire, which has more than a decade of experience in this arena, this makes international compliance and consistent safety performance essential – and Kentec an obvious choice. 

Sam Wong, marketing manager at NH Fire, said: “Over 10 years of service to the China BESS industry, we have participated in and witnessed the growth and success of numerous BESS projects. This success is inseparable from Kentec’s consistent commitment to high-standard products, high-quality delivery, and efficient service.” 

Through their long-standing partnership, the two companies are delivering high-quality, standardised fire safety solutions, tailored to the fast-growing global BESS market.   

BESS-unique challenges  

NH Fire provides customised fire suppression solutions for BESS manufactured in China, and supports their deployment around the world.  

Over the past ten years, it has contributed to the success of numerous installations, thanks to a deep technical expertise and strong understanding of the unique demands of the sector. 

Installation spaces, for example, are often minimal, the electrical architecture demands precise integration, and systems must be cost effective enough to fit within competitive production models.  

The global nature of NH Fire’s work also presents a challenge. BESS units are typically designed for mass production and international export, and manufacturers rely heavily on systems that are easy to integrate and capable of meeting diverse international standards. 

At the same time, the industry is shifting from conventional to addressable fire systems that have multiple protection zones.  

A perfect partnership 

Kentec’s systems are the perfect solution to these challenges. Sigma XT and Syncro XT+ systems meet requirements in EN-standard regions, and Sigma A-XT systems meet those of UL-standard markets.  

Yet despite serving different certifications, the controllers share a near-identical appearance, size, and operating method. This greatly streamlines manufacturing, and simplifies installation and maintenance. 

What’s more, when NH Fire clients require an addressable system, the team recommends Synchro XT+, and Kentec provides the end user with full technical support, including product training, software programming guidance, and hardware selection. 

The result is a fire protection solution that provides the safety, efficiency, and global scalability BESS manufacturers demand. 

“As a globally renowned manufacturer of fire protection products, Kentec boasts a rich product line, global product certifications, and outstanding product performance, quality, and service, perfectly meeting the fire protection needs of BESS customers,” added Wong.
