Life of 20 years to deploy 10 mw SAFT lithium battery energy storage

French SAFT said it was deployment of an installed capacity of 10 mw Bermuda lithium ion battery energy storage system, is expected to work life of 20 years. The procurement energy storage system for Bermuda power lighting co. , LTD. ( BELCO) 。

in 2016, the local government established a Bermuda electricity bill, designed to realize the modernization of the Bermuda grid. As the only power company in Bermuda, BELCO assumes the main task of the reform of power grid.

　　“ Battery energy storage system will be able to request a response within a few seconds, the response is three times faster than standard diesel generator, help to avoid the load of the usually associated with such events. When the new battery energy storage system online dollars of fuel and maintenance costs, while at the same time allowing BELCO provide reliable power continuously. The battery energy storage system using the battery is lithium ion battery, the service life of 20 years, can be recycled. ” BELCO spokesman said the SAFT through competitive bidding for the project.

BELCO mechanical engineer Stephanie Simons said that these advantages will include reduce the wear and tear to the existing equipment, and will continue to run for 20 years, its investment can be back in the past four years.

SAFT will according to the turnkey contract design, delivery and installation of 10 mw battery energy storage system, and will be in the company is located in the assembly plant in Jacksonville, Florida in the form of the container. The 10 mw energy storage system can discharge 30 minutes, and be able to start after the power failure is detected 50 milliseconds. SAFT to integration and to provide control and monitoring functions, power switch devices and equipment will be provided by ABB automation and engineering companies. At the same time, a local contractor will on site installation and debugging.

SAFT is the world's leading advanced high-tech industrial design development and manufacturer of the battery. In the nickel cadmium battery ( Industry, large traffic, professional electronics and transportation applications) One-time, high-performance lithium battery and lithium ion battery system ( Widely used in civil, military and many other end market) The global leader in design, development and production. In addition, SAFT battery or lithium ion satellite world-class experts, at the same time for clean energy vehicles and the new technology of renewable energy storage areas provide lithium ion batteries.

in 2016, in order to meet the needs of customers in Asia, SAFT set up production base in zhuhai China. In 2018, SAFT announced plans to actively into the new energy in the field of large-scale energy storage. To focus on energy storage field, SAFT in October the same year ended its power battery joint venture set up 12 years.
