Developed the world's first energy storage system, consisting of used batteries

The Japanese company Sumitomo Corporation has come up with a solution: not so long ago, she built a large-scale energy storage system, which will only work on used batteries of electric vehicles. The system is located on the island of yum-Shima, Osaka Prefecture, and the company plans over the next 3 years to prove the viability of this technology, measuring the effect of smoothing fluctuations in output power from neighboring solar power Hikari-no-Mori.





Sumitomo Cоrporation in 2010, together with Nissan has started the project "4R Energy Cоrporation" aimed at finding effective solutions for secondary use of lithium-ion batteries of electric vehicles.
