External appearance of the container type power storage system
The GS YUASA Group aims to optimize energy use in local communities by utilizing new energy services that link storage batteries with IoT technology.
At the Kyoto Plant, GS YUASA has introduced a power storage system manufactured by the company that can handle virtual power plants. A VPP functions like a single power plant through the supervision and control of scattered energy sources (including small-scale solar power generation and storage batteries) using IoT devices, and plays the role of adjusting the power supply-demand balance (including leveling the power load, absorbing surplus power when excess renewable energy is supplied, power supply in the event of power shortage).
Those virtual power plants perform energy management taking into account the balance between power supply and demand. By adjusting the power supply balance in the plant during normal times and utilizing it for peak cut in the event of tight demand, GS YUASA has been able to achieve stabilization of power supply and lower power consumption costs. In addition, in the event of an emergency such as a power outage due to a large-scale disaster, supplying power in cooperation with solar power generation systems to lighting load (lighting and outlet equipment) and power load (air conditioning equipment) has also played a role in ensuring employee safety and business continuity.
Since fiscal 2016, the Group has participated in the VPP construction verification project to start verification of the introduction and control of large storage batteries. In fiscal 2017, GS YUASA introduced a container-type power storage system at the Kyoto Plant and is promoting verification for the practical application of power supply and demand adjustments based on directives from external, large storage battery servers.
