Trina Storage has unveiled its next-generation integrated DC+AC solution – Elementa + Electra 13.8MVA/25MWh – at Intersolar Europe 2026. Combining the company’s latest Elementa storage system with its upgraded 13.8MVA Electra AC platform, the solution is designed to address the evolving demands of large-scale renewable energy and grid applications.
As the energy storage industry enters a new phase of scale and maturity, project developers are increasingly prioritizing solutions that simplify deployment while maximizing long-term value. Reflecting this trend, Trina Storage’s presence at Intersolar Europe 2026 focuses on technologies designed to improve efficiency, reliability and scalability across the energy storage value chain.
Elementa + Electra delivers up to 25MWh of storage capacity and 13.8MVA of AC output through an integrated DC+AC architecture. By combining battery storage and AC technologies within a single solution, it helps reduce system complexity, streamline project execution and support efficient deployment at scale.
Designed to maximize project returns, Elementa + Electra features a compact, highly integrated architecture that improves power density and site utilization. An integrated auxiliary transformer further reduces footprint requirements, while advanced balancing and power conversion technologies enhance energy throughput and overall system efficiency.
Built for increasingly demanding grid environments, the solution combines a three-tier liquid cooling architecture with fast-response power conversion capabilities. Cell-level temperature control maintains a temperature difference of less than 2.5°C across cells, while the Electra platform supports a 10ms full-power response time and flexible active and reactive power control. Grid-forming and black-start capabilities further strengthen the system’s ability to support evolving grid requirements.
Beyond performance and safety, Elementa + Electra is engineered to simplify deployment and reduce total project costs. Both DC and AC systems support containerized transportation, reducing logistics complexity and installation requirements. Extensive factory-level testing and validation through Trina Storage’s system integration validation platform help reduce on-site commissioning time by up to 50%, accelerating project delivery and minimizing execution risk.
Shawn Deng, Head of global product and system integration, commented: “The launch of Elementa + Electra reflects our continued commitment to advancing integrated energy storage solutions for the utility-scale market. Customers increasingly expect storage systems to deliver not only higher performance, but also greater reliability, simplified deployment and stronger project economics. This new solution has been developed to address those priorities while supporting the next stage of global energy storage growth.”
