Tesla has completed the installation of the world's largest lithium battery
Ion battery and will turn it on in the next few days. The 100-
The MW battery in South Australia is designed to provide security for the state's power grid.
It will store enough energy to power 30,000 homes in about an hour.
Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk has said that if the battery is not installed within 100 days of signing the project, the battery will be free.
The company appears to be completing by the deadline for the installation of the battery array on December 1, which will be connected to the wind farm operated by French renewable energy company Neoen.
According to Nikkei Asia Review, the company completed the work using Samsung batteries.
Musk originally proposed the proposal on Twitter after a series of "load cuts" in South Australia in February, and a state --
A wide range of power outages occurred on September 2016, resulting in 1.
7 million people without power.
When demand exceeds supply, a load-cutting outage occurs, and the Australian Energy Market Operator orders power companies to cut off electricity to customers to protect the grid.
The state will have the right to use the entire output of the battery array in order to avoid a load reduction event.
The project is part of a package aimed at securing the state's energy supply, which is heavily dependent on renewable energy.
Although the initial test phase will be carried out, the "system security service" will be provided once the battery array is turned on ".
"The world's largest lithium-ion battery will be an important part of our energy portfolio, and it sends the clearest message that South Australia will be the leader in renewable energy for battery storage, the state's prime minister, Jay withermere, said.
