One of the first places this theory has been tested is Japan. Japan has widely accepted EVs and was the first to put EVs to work during natural disasters. Japan is prone to thousands of tsunamis and earthquakes each year. As a result of this project, Nissan and 4R Energy were honored by the Association for Resilience Japan.

Toshiba’s SCiB charges and discharges efficiently in a wide range of temperatures, high and low. It has a long lifetime of more than 10,000 charge-discharge cycles, and operates with a high level of reliability and safety, including high resistance to external shock. The BESS started operation in January this year.

More than 300 megawatts of large, cargo container-sized sodium-beta batteries are running in the United States, Japan and Europe, according to Dupont Energy Consulting. They often store electricity generated by rows of solar panels and wind turbines. However, their broader use has been limited because of the high operating temperature.

High-performance batteries are generally discharged to about 50% state of charge (SOC); high-energy batteries have a lower limit of about 20%. If these limits are maintained, the batteries can undergo several thousand charging and discharging cycles before their power appreciably declines. kW is used for direct charging.
