LAS VEGAS, NV, Nov 13, 2026 – Nidec Conversion will showcase two energy storage technologies at RE+ 2026,: UniQube, a liquid-cooled power conversion platform for storage applications, and ACBOX V4, a battery energy storage system (BESS) with grid-forming capabilities.
UniQube Power Conversion Platform
UniQube is a modular power conversion system (PCS) designed for energy storage applications with storage durations of two to eight hours. It can operate as standalone equipment or in combination with Nidec’s DCBOX.
Designed for outdoor installation, UniQube uses liquid cooling for operation in high-temperature climates. Nidec claims up to 20% higher power density compared with a market benchmark. The platform supports 1,500 V applications and designed to accommodate a transition toward 2,000 V systems. It also supports solar and hydrogen-related energy infrastructure applications.
ACBOX V4 Energy Storage System
ACBOX V4 uses a distributed power conversion architecture incorporating silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor technology. The AC-block system supports granular energy management and is designed to improve system efficiency and availability.
“Energy infrastructure is entering a new phase, where reliability, flexibility and the ability to integrate increasingly complex technologies are becoming essential,” said Michael Briggs, chairman, Nidec Motion & Energy Business Unit, CEO, appliance automotive division. “At Nidec, we are bringing together our engineering expertise, advanced technologies and global scale to help customers address these challenges. Our focus is on strengthening the technologies and capabilities that will support the world’s growing energy needs.”
“Customers need solutions that not only meet today’s technical requirements but also adapt as their projects and the grid evolve,” said Dominique Llonch, president, Nidec Motion & Energy Business Unit. “ACBOX V4, DCBOX and UniQube reflect our commitment to practical innovation, combining advanced technologies with engineering expertise to help customers simplify integration, improve performance and support long-term operations. Together, these solutions demonstrate how Nidec is responding to evolving energy infrastructure needs, from renewable integration and grid stability to the growing power demands of data centers.”
Nidec will display UniQube, ACBOX V4 and DCBOX (booth C5454) in Central Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Nov 17-19, 2026.
