Tokyo Electrical Energy Firm Holdings, Inc. (TEPCO HD) and Toyota Motor Company (Toyota) have developed a stationary storage battery system (1 MW output, 3 MWh capability) that mixes TEPCO’s working know-how and security requirements for stationary storage batteries and Toyota’s system know-how for electrified automobile storage batteries. This technique shall be put in within the Eurus Tashirotai Wind Farm^*1 by Toyota Tsusho Company and Eurus Vitality Holdings Company, and the 4 corporations will start a collaborative verification venture round fall of this yr.

The storage battery market is anticipated to proceed rising in gentle of the unfold of renewable power and electrified automobiles, in addition to the worldwide pattern towards carbon neutrality.

It will likely be essential to make the most of storage batteries for electrified automobiles sooner or later to fulfill the rising demand and desires for power storage in environmental and financial enchancment, participation within the electrical energy market, and as BCP measures amongst others, each by way of value and amount.

To this finish, TEPCO HD and Toyota have collectively developed a stationary storage battery system that can be utilized together with current PCS^*2 by connecting a number of storage batteries for electrical automobiles. The verification venture will affirm the system’s operation and efficiency in addition to feasibility, together with its potential for enterprise use within the electrical energy market.

TEPCO HD will make the most of the data and technological capabilities it has cultivated within the electrical energy enterprise to enhance the utilization of renewable power and meet the BCP wants of its clients, in addition to to keep up the steadiness between provide and demand of electrical energy in an effort to construct a steady power provide system.

Along with aiming for a carbon-neutral mobility society, Toyota will work with Toyota Industries Company, Toyota Tsusho Company, and Denso Company to make the most of storage batteries for electrified automobiles which might be protected, long-lasting, prime quality, low price, and excessive efficiency, as a part of its numerous actions to understand a round economic system (an financial system primarily based on useful resource recycling).

TEPCO HD and Toyota will consider the outcomes of the verification venture and work to develop storage battery techniques with a watch towards consumer-oriented power providers and balancing electrical energy provide and demand capabilities in an effort to meet the power storage wants of consumers.

As well as, TEPCO HD and Toyota will promote using storage batteries all through society by persevering with their efforts to construct an power system by means of native manufacturing for native consumption, and understand a recycling-oriented society for electrified automobile storage batteries.

Verification venture schedule
