As energy infrastructure rapidly evolves to support renewables, grid-scale storage, and decentralised networks, the demand for robust, modular solutions is greater than ever. Rittal’s VX ESS is engineered to meet these demands, offering a secure, flexible, and scalable enclosure platform for battery and energy storage systems.
The global shift towards renewable energy and decarbonisation is driving new infrastructure requirements across Australia and New Zealand. From utility-scale battery farms to hydrogen storage facilities and decentralised energy storage projects, equipment housing needs to keep pace with growing energy demands, extreme environmental conditions, and compliance requirements.
Modular by Design, Built for Demanding Conditions
The VX ESS (Energy Storage System) is built on Rittal’s proven modular VX platform, allowing flexible internal configuration and easy adaptation to a range of project needs. Whether supporting lithium-ion battery modules, power conversion systems, or complex hybrid energy networks, the VX ESS enables safe, space-efficient integration.
Key structural advantages include:
- Adjustable 6.25 mm pitch pattern for precise component mounting
- Static load capacity up to 1,000 kg to support dense storage systems
- Perforated panels for passive airflow, supporting thermal management
- Straight rear wall for close placement to system infrastructure or integration with climate control
Ready for Outdoor Deployment
For installations in exposed environments, like solar farms or grid support installations, VX ESS is fully compatible with Rittal’s CS Toptec outdoor enclosure. This pairing offers robust weather resistance, extending the lifespan and reliability of sensitive energy storage modules.
Meeting the Needs of a Decentralised Energy Future
Rittal’s VX ESS is more than an enclosure—it’s a complete engineering solution tailored for the energy sector. Its modularity, load-bearing strength, and thermal management features make it ideal for:
- Renewable energy integration (solar, wind, hydrogen)
- Grid-scale battery storage
- Backup and peak-shaving energy systems
- Substation and decentralised energy storage hubs
With sustainability and resilience now at the core of every major energy project, infrastructure must be smart, scalable, and future-ready. The VX ESS delivers on all three.
