More options for precise battery system sizing.
Aktion mensch project
GAZ has become part of Bochemie since 1 April 2019.
Battery storage systems help compensate for the fluctuating output of large solar or wind power plants, but also make it possible to operate critical equipment in remote locations without connecting it to the grid.
Just like your car, a plane needs a battery to get going. Because of the strict safety and reliability requirements in aviation, almost all planes opt for nickel-cadmium cells.
There are entire industries that fully rely on lithium, an element that is omnipresent in our everyday lives. There will soon be a shortage of lithium, but thankfully, there’s nickel to save us.
Battery storage systems are playing an increasingly more indispensable role in the generation of electricity from renewable sources. This as well includes rural or isolated community microgrids which are popping up across the world.
The benefits of nickel-cadmium cells include a long lifespan, both in terms of chemistry and design. Thanks to many inconspicuous innovations, modern Ni-Cd cells can function almost without any maintenance.
We talked about the technology of Ni-Cd cells with Jiří Vitásek, the head of cell production at GAZ.
