Fluence unveils Smartstack: A game-changing, high-density energy storage platform
As global demand for efficient, scalable, and high-performance energy storage grows, Fluence Energy, Inc. is setting a new benchmark with Smartstack™, its latest AC-based energy storage platform.
Designed for grid-scale applications, Smartstack boasts a 30% higher energy density than existing market solutions, a future-ready modular design, and AI-powered intelligence—all of which drive greater efficiency, scalability, and cost savings. Fluence will begin customer deliveries in Q4 2025, ushering in a new era of intelligent energy storage.
Smartstack’s Breakthrough Modular Architecture
Smartstack’s patent-pending design solves key industry challenges by rethinking how energy storage is structured and deployed. Unlike traditional battery systems, Smartstack splits storage units into transportable, modular components, reducing shipping constraints and installation complexity while maximizing energy density on-site.
With a stackable design, the system achieves up to 7.5 MWh energy density per unit, enabling utilities and energy developers to deploy more MWh within existing project footprints—optimizing land use and lowering costs.
Smartstack is available in multiple storage durations:
✅ 2-hour & 4-hour configurations for short-term grid stabilization
✅ 6-hour & 8-hour configurations for extended energy resilience
How Smartstack Works: The Key Components
1️⃣ Smart Skid: The foundation of the system, integrating:
