What happens to the battery that powers the Chevrolet Volt-
When the service life of an electric car is over?
Five of them are helping to maintain lighting at the new GM enterprise data center at Milford test site.
From bat houses to nesting boxes for endangered duck species, the reused discarded Volt batteries have taken on a star position in a variety of applications.
Now, with Chevrolet in the second
2016 v power generation, it's time to start mining the remaining energy in the battery from the first one
Generate the model.
Because Volt usually draws energy from one of the energy bands in the battery pack, there is a lot of juice left for fixed use.
A new solar cell array and two wind turbines power the circuit breaker panels of the Executive Building, where the five Volt batteries work in parallel to power the building
Zero energy use every year.
The battery can also be provided on the back
In the event of a power outage, power the building for four hours and store it when it is not needed.
The excess energy is sent back to the grid that supplies the Milford campus. The 74-Kilowatt-
The installation of a solar array plus two 2 KW wind turbines generates enough power to provide all energy requirements for lighting in office buildings and adjacent parking lots.
These renewable sources generate about 100 megawatt hours of energy each year, equivalent to the energy used by 12 ordinary households.
The secondary application is used as a living lab to understand how the battery redistributes energy at this scale.
The company is working with partners to verify and test systems for other commercial and non-commercial systemsCommercial use. —
