RE+ is North America’s largest renewable energy exhibition, attracting approximately 1,300 companies and over 40,000 attendees.
LG Energy Solution has set up a 279-square-meter exhibition hall—the largest among South Korean battery companies. In this space, which is about 20% larger than last year’s, the company will showcase an integrated power infrastructure for AI data centers that combines Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), Battery Backup Units (BBU), and Energy Management Systems (EMS).
Its flagship product, the “JF3 AC LINK,” utilizes U.S.-made lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries to enhance local procurement competitiveness and has improved energy density per unit area by approximately 26% compared to previous models. It also features functions that support grid stabilization through the use of digital twin and AI technologies. The company will also unveil a system combining sodium-ion batteries with next-generation power conversion devices, the “JP6 Rack” for UPS systems, and a BBU based on cylindrical 2170 batteries.
LG Energy Solution has secured ESS battery production capacity of over 50 GWh in North America. The company plans to expand its business scope—from system design and deployment to operation, optimization, and asset management—by leveraging the integrated ESS solutions and the “Aeros” operating platform provided by its subsidiary, Vertech.
SAMSUNG SDI CO.,LTD. will showcase “SBB 2.0,” an integrated ESS solution based on LFP prismatic batteries produced locally in the U.S., under the theme “AI Thinks, Battery Enables.” The product, which houses batteries and safety systems within a 20-foot container, is part of a strategy to respond swiftly to U.S. demand through local production.
The company will also showcase UPS and BBU technologies for AI data centers. The “U8A3” prismatic battery for UPS systems became the first in the world to meet all standards in a large-scale indoor fire test conducted by UL Solutions, a global safety certification body. In the BBU sector, the company will introduce a lineup of cylindrical batteries featuring high-power and high-capacity performance, as well as ternary and LFP-based products.
Kang Chang-beom, Head of the ESS Battery Business Division at LG Energy Solution, stated, “Stable power storage and supply, along with efficient operations, are essential for the growth of the AI industry.” He added, “We will grow into an energy platform company by combining our local production base in North America with our battery technology, system integration capabilities, and intelligent operation expertise.”
