Drives/batteries cooperation
The global AC drives manufacturer Vacon Plc and European Batteries Oy, a Finland-based lithium-ion-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery systems manufacturer, have agreed on cooperation in the field of technology that combines the use of battery systems and AC drives in the same electrical system.
The two companies share the view that the field of energy production will be more and more fragmented in the future. In consequence, due to varied grid quality requirements, the use of battery systems will become an increasingly attractive option in energy production facilities.
In addition, traditional power transmission systems will be supported, or even replaced, by fully electrical systems which allow energy to be stored e.g. in expandable battery systems.
