JERA and Toyota deploy first large capacity Sweep Energy Storage System with second-life batteries

Green Car Congress

The system was built using batteries reclaimed from electrified vehicles (HEV, PHEV, BEV, FCEV) and is connected to the consumer electrical power grid. JERA and Toyota began discussions in 2018 to establish battery reuse technologies, which eventually led to this large-capacity, grid-connected Sweep Energy Storage System.

Researchers developing DC micro smart grid for charging EV fleets; Li-ion, redox flow batteries and renewables

Green Car Congress

The aim of charge@work is to design a micro smart grid (MSG) capable of supplying the EV fleet with electricity produced exclusively from renewable sources. The MSG can be run in island mode in parallel to the grid operated by the local energy provider. The MSG is designed as a direct current (DC) grid.

Fastcharge consortium presents prototype for 450 kW charging station; Porsche research vehicle charges at 400 kW

Green Car Congress

The charging capacity of the new FastChargers is three to nine times as high as what is currently possible with DC rapid-charging stations. The energy supply system from Siemens used in the project makes it possible to test the limits of the fast charging capability of vehicle batteries. 450 kW, the second gives up to 175 kW.

Electric Vehicle Charging Principle

Setec Powerr

When the power battery is exhausted, replace the low-power battery pack with a fully charged battery, and send the replaced battery to the replacement station for slow charging. Pass current through the battery and “charge it” Connect the terminals to the circuit and discharge. What is an EV charging profile?

LG Chem and Eguana partner on Li-ion residential energy storage system for North America

Green Car Congress

Eguana designed the package around LG Chem’s battery modules and supplies its Bi-Direx inverter and controls subassembly. The low voltage design enables high-capacity batteries to operate in lower power ratings needed for decentralized systems (i.e. Basic product capacity is 6.4 residential rooftop solar).

Researchers Aim to Decarbonize Chemical Industry by Electrifying It

Cars That Think

André Taylor (center), Center Director for DC-MUSE, working with students from the unit operations senior lab course at NYU Tandon. That’s what DC-MUSE is addressing.” In their analysis of decarbonization methods, DC-MUSE researchers identified pathways including resistive, microwave, and inductive heating strategies.
