- New product NAS MODEL L24 is characterised by considerably diminished degradation price
- Improved expertise permits prospects to save lots of approx. 20% on their funding in NAS battery storage system in comparison with the earlier battery sort
- Superior sort of NAS battery is an final result of the joint growth by BASF and NGK
Ludwigshafen, Germany, and Nagoya, Japan — BASF Stationary Vitality Storage GmbH, an entirely owned subsidiary of BASF, and NGK INSULATORS, LTD. (NGK), a Japanese ceramics producer, have launched a sophisticated container-type NAS battery (sodium-sulfur battery) *1.
The brand new product NAS MODEL L24 has been collectively developed by NGK and BASF and is characterised by a considerably decrease degradation price of lower than 1 % per yr due to a diminished corrosion in battery cells. One other technical achievement is an improved thermal administration system in battery modules, which permits an extended steady discharge*2. The brand new expertise parts have been integrated into the field-proven battery design.
These enhancements enable tasks to be carried out utilizing considerably fewer variety of NAS battery containers over challenge working time, and with decrease upkeep prices.
“This superior sort of NAS batteries is an excellent achievement by the joint growth workforce of BASF and NGK, which introduced collectively respective areas of experience of each corporations. With the NAS MODEL L24 our prospects will be capable of cut back their preliminary funding in battery storage system in addition to save on long-term challenge prices, approx. 20% over challenge lifetime. We’re proud to have contributed to the development of NAS battery expertise, which is an important constructing block for a profitable vitality transition,” mentioned Frank Prechtl, Managing Director of BASF Stationary Vitality Storage GmbH.
Ryugo Takeda, Vice President and Common Supervisor of Vitality Storage Division of NGK, commented: “The improved efficiency stems from an intense and efficient collaboration between BASF and NGK that began from 2019. The decrease degradation price of lower than 1% per yr is a outstanding outcome for the vitality storage trade. Via BASF’s international gross sales community, we’re excited to offer options to extra prospects utilizing this NAS MODEL L24 and thus to contribute to the promotion of world renewable vitality adoption and the discount of CO2 emissions”.
The brand new idea complies with the most recent security requirements for vitality storage installations, akin to UL1973 and UL9540A, and underlines the excessive diploma of security for NAS installations.
NAS batteries are long-duration, high-energy stationary storage batteries. They characteristic lengthy life and enhanced security and may present a secure energy provide over six hours or longer. In additional than 20 years they’ve been deployed at over 250 places worldwide, with a complete output of just about 5 gigawatt-hours. NAS batteries are used for varied use circumstances, together with stabilizing of renewable vitality and optimizing its utilization, via peak shaving and cargo balancing in addition to emergency energy provide. NAS Batteries are considered one of key contributors to a profitable vitality transition and carbon neutrality.
BASF will start deliveries of NAS MODEL L24 within the second half of 2024.
*1: For the home market in Japan, NAS MODEL L24 is deliberate to be launched as soon as conformance with the home laws is accomplished.
*2: Within the case of discharging at 200kW-dc per NAS MODEL L24 unit, the continual discharging length is 6 hours.
