At All Energy Australia 2026, held on Oct. 28 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC), Sunwoda presented its NoahX 3.0 liquid-cooled energy storage system. The company focused on sub-5 MW DC-coupled PV-storage, mining microgrids and large-scale PV-storage projects, demonstrating coordinated capabilities from cell technology to system design and offering options for Australian storage projects across different scales and applications.
From high-capacity cells to a platform-based system
During a keynote at the show, Sunwoda combined the technical design of NoahX 3.0 with Australian application requirements, explaining how coordinated innovation between cells and systems can improve storage efficiency, safety performance and project economics.
As the core of the platform, the 588Ah large-capacity storage cell delivers a volumetric energy density of 417Wh/L, round-trip efficiency of 96.5% at 0.25P and a cycle life of up to 10,000 cycles to 70% SOH. It also uses a high-safety electrolyte, directed venting and three-dimensional thermal management design to further improve safety and internal temperature consistency, providing a reliable basis for next-generation storage systems.
Based on the 588Ah cell platform, the NoahX 3.0 series adopts coordinated design across cells, PACKs, BMS, thermal management and system integration, translating the technical advantages of high-capacity cells into system performance and project-side value. The exhibition highlighted two liquid-cooled storage systems, 6.26MWh and 3.13MWh, responding to different project requirements in capacity scale, site space and deployment conditions.
The 6.26MWh liquid-cooled system uses a 20-foot container design, reducing deployment units through higher single-container capacity and integration, optimizing equipment count, project footprint and construction deployment, and improving economics for large storage projects. The 3.13MWh liquid-cooled system adopts a compact 10-foot design, balancing transport, site layout and capacity configuration to offer more flexible storage choices for projects of different scales.
Addressing three application scenarios with platform design
From distributed PV-storage to remote mining areas and large renewable energy stations, Australia’s diverse applications place different demands on storage safety, efficiency, flexibility and long-term value. Through product configurations with different capacities and dimensions, NoahX 3.0 offers more suitable storage options for three typical scenarios.
Sub-5 MW DC-coupled PV-storage: efficient DC-side coordination between PV and storage
For small and medium-sized PV-storage projects, NoahX 3.0 can connect to the PV DC side through DC/DC, helping improve renewable energy utilization and extend clean energy supply hours. The compact 3.13MWh system suits limited sites and different capacity needs, while the 6.26MWh system reduces deployment units through higher single-container capacity, offering more choices between space use and construction cost.
Mining microgrids: stable energy for remote mining areas
In response to complex power supply conditions, load fluctuations and high fuel transport costs at remote mining sites, NoahX 3.0 can coordinate with PV and diesel or gas generators, providing regulation support between renewable output and mine load and helping reduce generator runtime and fuel consumption. Liquid-cooled temperature control, BMS management and multi-layer safety design support continuous operation, while different capacity configurations suit mine energy scale and deployment conditions.
Large PV-storage projects: higher capacity and integration for project value
For large renewable projects, the 6.26MWh system integrates higher capacity into a standard 20-foot container, helping reduce system count, optimize project footprint and equipment deployment, and further improve construction and project-side economics. With modular configuration and the compact size of the 3.13MWh system, projects can flexibly select models based on capacity planning and site conditions, balancing layout and expansion needs during scaled deployment.
