The powerful lithium-ion battery in the world is in Australia — it was established by the company Tesla Motors in just 100 days. But soon, she could have a much more powerful competitor, which is created by Hyundai Electric & Energy Systems.
The company makes a battery with a capacity of 150 MW, which is almost twice as powerful Australian Tesla batteries. Install giant battery in South Korea, and it will happen, according to the company, very soon, literally in three months.
The demand for storage will continue to persist, writes Bloomberg, because equipment prices are falling, and the population, as it requests, is constantly and steadily growing.
With a couple of lithium-ion storage always possible to reliably protect against disruption of the entire region, and even small country. In addition, capacity can always be increased by adding new modules and connecting a couple of new turbines or solar panels.
The Australian example Tesla has shown that doing large batteries can be quite fast and steadily falling price tags on raw materials and the increasing need for stable and reliable sources of energy dictate the need for widespread construction of such facilities, in fact, working in tandem with solar or wind farm, such storage can provide a good reserve of power in case major disruptions.
Australia was seriously injured in February of this year. Then in Adelaide remained without electricity for about one hundred thousand households, which has forced the authorities to think about a backup option, which in the spring and invited Elon Musk. On the signing of the documents and the tendering process took several months, but in rows of Tesla met by expanding working battery for energy storage in just one hundred days, which is already being tested.
