Tesla in the deployment of Megapack latest giant battery energy storage devices

On July 30, the us technology vertical portal Tech at said in a news release, tesla and Pacific gas and electric power company ( PG& E) Reached a cooperation, will be in the United States of California's monterey bay region moss landing ( 莫斯兰丁) Community deployed several giant called Megapack battery energy storage devices.

Megapack giant battery energy storage devices as early as last December in the public eye. At that time, tesla announced a project book, will be a large scale of public utilities project renamed & other; Megapack” , with the previously proposed by tesla & other; 电源组” Battery energy storage equipment project. According to the project file was published, tesla Megapack by 7. 14m*1. 60 m battery system structure, usually tesla will install the battery pack back to back together.

tesla said, Megapack project in last November was formally approved by the California public utilities commission, and along with other approved three unpublished energy storage system project. Megapack energy storage ability is very important, each Megapack 3 MWH energy can be stored at a time, and can be more than enough in series with the Megapack produce more energy than 1 GWH storage super energy storage devices, tesla said, this will be enough to & other; San Francisco throughout every family with 6 hours of power &; 。

Megapack is customized for the power company huge energy storage equipment, design and production, and is responsible for the assembly and debugging by tesla. Every Megapack energy storage devices including battery module, bi-directional inverter, thermal management system, ac main circuit breaker and control system, and many other parts. In addition, the device also includes a set of software system developed by tesla, used to monitor the whole equipment storage and commercial operation.

Megapack tesla was the inspiration for deployment in south Australia Hornsdale project, the project will be 100 megawatts of Powerpack system with south Australia near jamestown Neoen combination of wind farms. Tesla's Powerpack system to store wind power plants produce electricity, then electricity to the grid during peak hours. The facility to save nearly $40 million in the first year.

Tech at commented that if tesla could persuade the California public utilities commission, expanding the scope of the Megapack quantity deployment and deployment, the future will has the ability to completely replace the existing natural gas peak power plant, Megapack will also bring a greater role for environmental causes.

today, public utilities commission of choice is still the gas peak power plants. When the earthly power grid can't provide enough power to meet peak demand, will enable the peak power plants. As the temperature and the rise of population, the situation is becoming more and more common.

tesla hopes to create a substitute for sustainable development. When electricity demand alleviate Megapack will be stored by solar energy or wind energy emitted by the rest of the power, wait until the release supply grid used when peak season, thus the role of peak power plants.

tesla said, all Megapack will connect with Powerhub, directly to meet the needs of the people daily life. Powerhub is tesla launched another used in large public utilities project and the micro grid advanced monitoring platform, also can with automatic machine learning platform for energy trading Autobid fusion.
