OREANDA-NEWS. October 22, 2012.  We have developed a package-type storage battery system to efficiently control the charging and discharging of storage batteries. A test for the operation of the system has been commenced at our Yokohama Works. In the event of a power outage, the package-type power storage system functions as an emergency power source to keep electrical equipment operating at the minimum level necessary. Usually, it helps use electricity efficiently in the form of peak shaving and the utilization of nighttime power. If connected to a solar photovoltaic panel, the system also makes it possible to adjust the time of electricity consumption and use surplus power to recharge the battery.

 After an operation test at our facility, the system will be commercialized from the end of this fiscal year for public organizations, private enterprises, system manufacturers and developers that are considering anti-disaster actions.
