5. UTILITY GRADE APPLICATIONS

6. • Renewable energy sources such as sun and wind
power can cause instability as there may be
fluctuations in the power they produce.
• Smart Energy Battery Storage Systems act as a
stabilizer for renewable energy.

7. COMMUNITY GRID STORAGE
• The Community can be a Power Quality Park
• The Community can be a Business Park
• The Community can be an Industrial Park

9. STANDARD BATTERY MODULE FOR
ENERGY STORAGE
• The standard battery module is a freely scalable
building block containing 312 cylindrical 18650type lithium-ion battery cells (18 mm diameter, 65
mm length) often used in laptop computers and
power tools.

10. SMART ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM

3. The Battery Cells

11. BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
• This component controls the
charging and discharging of
the storage batteries.
• Comprised of standard
modules for power storage
and a battery management
controller
• Can manage multiple
component batteries so that
they can be used as if they
were a single battery.

16. TESLA BATTERY PACK – PANASONIC
• The Panasonic NCR18650 format
cylindrical batteries stacked in a pack
• The 85 kilowatt-hour Tesla Model S
contains over 7,000 cells in the 18650
size - Tesla Motors

17. PANASONIC - TOYOTA PRIUS
• Battery pack of the 2nd generation Toyota Prius
• Consists of 28 Panasonic prismatic nickel metal hydride modules—each
containing six 1.2 volt cells—connected in series to produce a nominal
voltage of 201.6 volts.
• The total number of cells is 168, compared with 228 cells packaged in 38
modules in the first generation Prius. The pack is positioned behind the
back seat

18. PANASONIC OUTPUT & SUPPLY
• Panasonic global capacity for automotive prismatic
lithium ion batteries has surged from just 100,000
cells a month in 2010 to 2 million cells a month
today.
• Capacity figures for cylindrical lithium ion batteries
are almost exclusively a single automotive
customer: Tesla

19. PANASONIC RAMPS UP PRODUCTION
• Panasonic Corp. plans a big increase in lithium ion battery capacity for both
hybrid and electric vehicles, including the Tesla Model S sedan.
• Panasonic will add a fourth line at its Kasai plant in Hyogo prefecture, just west
of Osaka. That factory makes prismatic lithium ion batteries for Toyota Motor
Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Audi AG.
• It will add a line at its Sominoe plant in Osaka, which makes cylindrical lithium
ion batteries for Tesla Motors Inc. alongside batteries for personal computers.
• It will begin cylindrical battery production for cars at its Kaizuka plant, also in
Osaka.
• Panasonic has been the sole battery supplier for the Model S, but Tesla is in
talks with Samsung SDI of South Korea.
