Lithium-ion for grid-scale storage

Lithium-ion for grid-scale storage: Many experts believe that the technology for lithium ion battery is a poor match for the grid size storage, a combination of cost and technical issues. But don't count it yet. ABB just chose a flavor of lithium-ion battery manufactured for a distributed store in Sweden. Distributed and can be the key word here. Lithium-ion batteries may be more suitable for small, neighborhood-scale storage scattered at key points of stress. -By Jesse Bers. Contains the power and automation technology company abb International lithium-ion battery (Lithium iron phosphate) is a Swedish utilities for building energy scatter HyperClass plastic abs system is great for storing Falbygdens Energi battery.Storage system connected to a network of distributed energy ABB (DES) the capacity of 87 kilowatt-hours used batteries HyperClass. Scalable and modular system offers thermal management and system management of large-scale battery cell active balance.Storage system is a subsidiary of Göteborg Energi Falbygdens Energi, the EU, to improve the stability of the balance of the load, grid and utility "in the present and the future integration of the energy renewable systems for smart grid applications offers capabilities to support."DES is planned to install at the end of 2011, and will become part of the existing substations in Falkoping.

The system is a tool you can store the energy produced by local wind turbines. Benefits of support utility and its customers also include backup power for plug-in EV implementations, improving the distribution line efficiency and storage and management periodically such energy sources like wind and solar energy.International cooperation also with battery s & amp; c Electric in Electric Power system of American Community energy storage.
