Tesla has already finished the commissioning phase of the world's largest battery and they are now working on tests until December 1, which will be officially launched.
One of the great problems of electricity is that it cannot be stored for long and storing it is quite expensive, especially in isolated photovoltaic installations. But Tesla is working in this field and thanks to a commitment that combines, on the one hand, a great press and marketing movement, with the company's social responsibility. The company led by Elon Musk, has completed the construction, assembly and commissioning of the world's largest lithium battery and its mission is to provide renewable energy to an entire region in Australia.
It may seem simple, but the start-up has been a challenge and has taken no less than a hundred days, starting the process in September. This giant battery, already finished, begins a testing phase, which will last a few days, to see if it complies with the technical regulations of the AEMO, which is a local regulator, in addition to complying with the regulations and requirements of the southern government of Australia, before it is finally operational on December 1 of this year.
The start-up of the giant battery will be joint, since with Tesla, there is the Neoen company, a French company that is dedicated to renewable energies, the contractor company, the engineering group Consolidated Power Projects and the Prime Minister of the South from Australia. This battery is within the Neoen's Hornsdale Wind Farm wind turbine park, which will supply energy to the batteries, which will then be delivered when the wind turbines are not capable of supplying the necessary energy, either due to lack of generation or due to excess demand.
Really incredible I would like to read more about renewable energy I have in mind to use solar panels to reduce my electricity consumption
If you live in Spain, everything is obstacles to putting some photovoltaic panels on the roof of your house. The best option is a hybrid system, generating during the day and pulling the electricity grid at night, because batteries are expensive, require a lot of maintenance and their life is just over five years and they raise the return on investment very much.
