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 expertise and security requirements for stationary storage batteries and Toyota’s system expertise for electrified car storage batteries. This technique might be put in within the Eurus Tashirotai Wind Farm^*1 by Toyota Tsusho Company and Eurus Vitality Holdings Company, and the 4 firms will start a collaborative verification challenge round fall of this 12 months.

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 development towards carbon neutrality.

Will probably 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 challenge will verify 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 prospects, in addition to to keep up the steadiness between provide and demand of electrical energy so as to construct a secure 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 are secure, long-lasting, prime quality, low value, and excessive efficiency, as a part of its varied actions to comprehend a round financial system (an financial system based mostly on useful resource recycling).

TEPCO HD and Toyota will consider the outcomes of the verification challenge and work to develop storage battery programs with an eye fixed towards consumer-oriented power providers and balancing electrical energy provide and demand capabilities so as 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 notice a recycling-oriented society for electrified car storage batteries.

Verification challenge schedule

• Round summer time 2023

  Assemble amenities, consider storage battery system

• Round fall 2023

  Begin verification assessments

Operation and efficiency analysis will happen over the subsequent a number of years of operation.
