ZincFive’s BC Series Battery Cabinet, which was also selected as a finalist in 2020 for the Emerging Technology of the Year Award, utilizes nickel-zinc batteries to provide uninterruptible power solutions for mission critical applications in data centers and intelligent transportation infrastructure. This power-dense, sustainable, fail-safe battery energy storage solution has a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than conventional lead-acid or lithium battery storage systems. The company’s BC Series Battery Cabinets are the first nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery energy storage systems to include both backward and forward compatibility with megawatt class inverters, allowing users to easily retrofit existing lead-acid uninterruptible power and energy storage cabinets without the need for modifications.

“We’re honored that ZincFive’s BC Series Battery Cabinets were named as a finalist for the S&P Global Platts Global Energy Awards,” said ZincFive CEO and Co-Founder Tim Hysell. “This is a recognition that the capability of nickel-zinc batteries is a paradigm shift in battery string reliability and uptime, bringing high performing and sustainable battery and power solutions to global energy markets.”

The batteries that power the BC Series Battery Cabinet use widely available, environmentally friendly nickel and zinc. This chemistry enables higher power-density, reliability and safety, making it an attractive option for companies that want to reduce their carbon footprint and operating costs without sacrificing safety or performance. Additionally, an independent third-party expert analysis has verified that ZincFive’s nickel-zinc batteries have a significantly lower end-to-end climate impact than lead-acid and lithium battery chemistries.

“This year’s complement of 196 finalists truly indicates the outstanding innovation and supreme leadership occurring in so many sectors across our industries,” said Jenny Salinas, Vice President of Marketing at S&P Global Platts.

Winners for each of the 21 categories will be announced at the S&P Global Platts Global Energy Awards’ black-tie gala December 9, 2021, in New York City.
