Renault: launches advanced battery storage system
(CercleFinance.com) - Today Renault group announced the launch of the "Advanced Battery Storage" project, which aims to build, by 2020, a stationary energy storage solution that is solely based exclusively on batteries of electric vehicles, compiled in a container.
This device will be installed on several sites in France and Germany. It aims to facilitate the integration of renewable energies into electricity grids. Ultimately, this solution will be able to store at least 60 MWh.
"The first facilities will be developed in early 2019 on three sites in France and Germany: at the Renault plants in Douai and Cléon and at a former coal-fired plant in North Rhine-Westphalia. The storage capacity will then be gradually expanded over time to contain the energy of 2,000 EV batteries. At this phase, the system will have reached - or more likely, exceed - the 60 MWh, equivalent to the daily consumption of a city of 5,000 households," Renault explained.
