Introduction: Extending the Boundaries of Power

As industries demand more efficient and resilient energy solutions, the Range-Extended Energy Storage System (REESS) is emerging as a revolutionary approach. By combining advanced battery storage with an auxiliary power generation unit, it delivers longer operation, greater flexibility, and lower costs compared to traditional energy systems.

At INJET New Energy, we design range-extended hybrid energy solutions that maximize uptime, reduce fuel dependence, and ensure reliable power for off-grid, mobile, and industrial applications.


What Is a Range-Extended Energy Storage System?

A Range-Extended Energy Storage System (REESS) is an advanced form of Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) that includes a battery pack and an onboard generator or engine—known as a “range extender.”

When the battery’s energy is depleted, the range extender automatically activates to recharge it, ensuring continuous operation without external charging. This design enables long-duration, self-sustaining power even in remote or unstable environments.

Core Components:

  • High-capacity lithium or LFP battery module

  • Smart inverter and power conversion unit

  • Range extender (diesel, natural gas, or hydrogen generator)

  • Energy Management System (EMS) for intelligent control

This hybrid configuration combines the zero-emission performance of batteries with the endurance of engine-generated power, creating a seamless balance between sustainability and reliability.


How the Range-Extended System Works

  1. Primary Power:
    The system initially runs on stored battery energy to supply power quietly and efficiently.

  2. Automatic Extension:
    When battery levels fall below a threshold, the range extender starts automatically, recharging the battery while maintaining output to loads.

  3. Energy Optimization:
    The EMS manages when to charge or discharge the battery, ensuring maximum energy efficiency and minimal fuel consumption.

  4. Continuous Operation:
    Once battery capacity is restored, the range extender shuts down, and the system returns to silent, zero-emission battery mode.

This dynamic cycle delivers long-duration, uninterrupted power while keeping fuel costs and emissions low.


Advantages of Range-Extended Energy Storage Systems

1. Extended Operation Time

Unlike battery-only systems that require external recharging, range-extended systems can operate continuously for days or weeks, depending on fuel availability.

2. Cost and Fuel Savings

By using the engine only when needed, the REESS achieves 30–60% fuel reduction compared to diesel-only systems, lowering both operating and maintenance costs.

3. Reduced Carbon Footprint

Batteries handle most of the load, allowing the generator to run at peak efficiency — significantly cutting CO₂ and NOₓ emissions.

4. Enhanced Reliability

In remote or unstable grid locations, the range extender ensures energy security even during battery depletion or adverse weather.

5. Noise and Emission Control

Battery operation provides quiet, emission-free power, ideal for urban sites, events, and low-noise zones, while the generator operates intermittently.


Applications of Range-Extended Energy Storage Systems

INJET’s Range-Extended Energy Storage Systems are ideal for:

  • Construction site power (temporary or mobile)

  • Telecom towers and remote communication facilities

  • Mobile charging stations for EV fleets

  • Emergency backup and disaster relief operations

  • Mining and off-grid industrial projects

  • Maritime and transport energy support

Each system can be customized to balance battery capacity, engine power, and energy autonomy based on client needs.
