Large-Scale C&I BESS for Commercial and Industrial Facilities, Configured From 1 MWh to 8 MWh

Large commercial and industrial facilities, such as factories, logistics centres, shopping centres, hospitals and industrial parks, often need storage measured in megawatt-hours rather than kilowatt-hours. The right recommendation depends on two numbers: the power the battery must deliver and the duration it must sustain. MPMC's HBD-A Series offers containerised building blocks that combine into systems from around 1 MWh to 8 MWh and beyond, all managed by one EMS.

Building Blocks for Megawatt-Hour Systems

Two-Hour Systems for Peak Shaving

The HBD-500-1000 delivers 500 kW from 1,045 kWh, and the HBD-1000-2000 delivers 1,125 kW from 2,170 kWh, roughly two hours at rated power. They suit facilities whose demand peaks last a few hours, such as shift starts, afternoon cooling loads or production batches.

Several units can be combined to reach the power a facility needs: two HBD-1000-2000 units, for example, provide 2,250 kW and 4,340 kWh, and the containerised format lets each unit be placed where space and cable routes are most convenient.

Four-Hour Systems for Longer Shifting

The HBD-250-1000 delivers 250 kW from the same 1,045 kWh, providing around four hours at rated power for long evening plateaus and solar shifting. DC-coupled HBD-DC 5000 units with 5,015 kWh suit facilities building large solar-plus-storage installations.

Facilities with both sharp peaks and long evening loads can mix models, combining two-hour and four-hour units under one EMS so that each part of the load profile is served by the most suitable battery.

What Every Configuration Includes

All HBD-A models use LFP 314Ah cells rated for 8,000 cycles at 90% depth of discharge, liquid cooling, IP67 battery packs within an IP54 system and CE-certified aerosol fire protection, operating from -20°C to +55°C and up to 3,000 m. They support on-grid and off-grid switching, external PV inverter and ATS integration, and PQ, VF, VSG, black start and grid-forming modes, so the same system can shave peaks, store solar, provide backup and support the grid.

Liquid cooling keeps cell temperatures even across every rack, which supports long cycle life in facilities that cycle the battery every working day, and C4 anti-corrosion coating protects enclosures installed outdoors in industrial yards.

MPMC's self-developed EMS and SCADA manage every unit as one system, with real-time monitoring, automated monthly and annual reports and ten years of data retention under an SL3-level cybersecurity framework. Open protocols allow integration with existing building and energy management systems. Where a facility also runs generator sets, HBD-A storage complements them by taking peaks, supporting the load and smoothing load fluctuations, while MPMC generator sets, including containerised units of up to 3,750 kVA for larger sites, cover extended operation.

Containerised units ship by sea in standard formats with UN38.3 battery transport certification, and MPMC's engineers support installation and commissioning on site, so large facilities can bring megawatt-hour storage into service efficiently.

HBD-A systems carry a 5-year product warranty or 2.2 MWh per kWh and a 10-year battery performance warranty or 4.3 MWh per kWh, with at least 70% capacity retention, and MPMC provides design consultation, commissioning and remote diagnostics through its SCADA/EMS cloud platform.

MPMC builds HBD-A systems on automated battery pack and BESS assembly lines at its Yangzhong energy technology base, opened in 2025 with USD 27 million of investment.
