The JLR Group, formerly Jaguar-Land Rover, has partnered with Wykes Engineering Ltd, a leader in the renewable energy sector, to creating one of the largest energy storage systems in the UK. A single storage system is used Jaguar I-Pace battery life is 30 seconds and is capable of storing up to 2.5 MWh of energy at full capacity. This amount of energy can provides about 250 houses per day. The supplied batteries come from prototypes and technical test cars. After long-term use, they no longer have enough power (less than 70% of the original) to meet the requirements of an electric car.
Provision of houses with electricity
By the end of 2023 JLR aims to provide enough to store 7.5 MWh of energy in general, it is enough to electricity for 750 houses per day. Later, other containers can be created to accommodate used batteries removed from used vehicles. Each storage system is capable of supplying energy directly to the national grid during peak hours and also extract it from the grid during off-peak hours to save for later use. There are such battery storage systems necessary for the decarbonization of the networkas they can handle peaks in demand by maximizing the capture of solar and wind energy on sunny or windy days for use when needed.
Battery recycling is accelerating
JLR is certainly not the first car group to use such a process. Renault, among other things, recycles the batteries of its old electric cars make similar storage systems or turn them into transportable power generators on construction sites, for example… Until The government is accelerating to provide France with its own factories for the production of lithium batteries, plan “France 2030”. also provides creation of waste processing points. ago two pilot sites which will soon emerge from the ground: one between Veolia and Solvay near Metzthe other from Mecaware near Grenoble…
