Japan’s first container-type large-capacity energy storage system using lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. Power conditioners are used for direct current (DC)/alternating current (AC) conversion and their input/output control. The system has a capacity of 408 kWh and is designed to have a system efficiency of 90%.
