An iCeL is an intelligent and interactive energy storage device. The iCeL uses an integrated “chip set” to store, manage, and distribute energy between multiple loads and sources in the safest, most efficient manner possible.

Integrated Cell of Electric Lithium

An iCeL System is a configuration of iCeL energy storage devices, renewable energy generation, energy efficiency upgrades (e.g. LED lighting), monitoring software, and the web. An iCeL System is also sometimes referred to as the “energy computer” because of its unique ability to safely and efficiently manage and route energy, in addition to storing it.

Extremely versatile, an iCeL can be used to power almost anything imaginable. iCeLs can power mobile phones, electronics, cars, motorcycles, mobile homes, commercial buildings, residences, off-shore structures, and even utilities. It is the perfect match for solar, wind, and traditional grid power sources. The iCeL allows grid-tied users to expend energy at peak times for off-peak prices and renewable energy users to enjoy uninterrupted power regardless of unfavorable weather patterns.

The simple answer? iCeLs are “smart.” Batteries are “dumb.” An iCeL can communicate with remote monitoring software, conventional and renewable power sources, and other iCeLs. An iCeL safely and efficiently manages and balances multiple inputs and outputs. An iCeL can charge and discharge at the same time. A battery, on the other hand, simply stores energy and releases energy when there is a demand put on it. A battery cannot control how much energy is released and when. A battery is only capable of performing one function at a time, charging or discharging. A standard battery can have safety issues like toxic leakage, short circuits, or explosions due to overheating. iCeLs intelligently manage Lithium-ion energy storage cells and use seven layers of redundant safety features to ensure secure, efficient energy storage and distribution.

The Internet of Energy™ is the way energy will be exchanged by individuals and organizations, using hardware and software which iCeL Systems has pioneered, to intelligently generate, store, and manage energy with the highest degree of efficiency. Several steps beyond the Smart Grid, the Internet of Energy™ will more than digitally meter the grid, it will enable vast use of renewable energy and allow all people to participate in the generation and exchange of energy.
