Volvo Bus Participates in Swedish Waste Battery Energy Storage Research and Development Project


Recommended Posts

According to the latest report from Chongqing Feilong JiangliVolvo Bus participated in a research and development project to use used bus batteries as solar energy storage devices. At present, the waste batteries of Gothenburg 55 electric bus in Sweden are used for solar energy storage devices.

With the progress of urban traffic electrification transformation, the recycling of waste batteries has become a key issue.

The project is based at Riksbyggen's Viva Housing Cooperative in Gothenburg, an apartment complex designed to make it the most innovative and sustainable residential project in Sweden.

To this end, Riksbyggen, Volvo, Gteborg Energi and Yorkshire Science Park have jointly created a system to collect energy from solar panels on the top floor of apartments and store them in used batteries used earlier by No. 55 electric buses.

The battery warehouse system consists of 14 lithium batteries for used buses. Researchers installed it in a battery chamber to create a 200 kWh battery pack. The equipment can meet the majority of the electricity demand of apartment residents and output the stored electricity to them.

The device aims to reduce peak hours of electricity consumption, use used batteries to store solar energy or sell surplus solar energy. The equipment can also be used to purchase and store the power of the State Grid, thereby enhancing the energy efficiency of Viva free energy system and improving the operation status of the city's power grid.

The project is supported by the European Union project IRIS Smart Cities, a Light House project funded by EU HORIZON 2020.

      As part of the EU’s 1.4 billion euro ($1.52 billion) state aid package, BMW is the only car manufacturer to receive EU funding for a hydrogen project.
      Other companies that have received funding include tire maker Michelin Group and aircraft manufacturing and development company Airbus. The European Commission said on May 28 that the initial funding is expected to unlock an additional 3.3 billion euros in private investment.
      The Hy2Move program is the fourth round of funding related to hydrogen energy and focuses on mobility. The hydrogen energy initiative has been declared one of the key projects of common European interest and is expected to play an important role in the EU’s 2050 carbon neutrality goal. Other important projects of common European interest include semiconductors and batteries for electric vehicles.
      Details of BMW’s project and the amount of funding will be announced shortly after the scheme receives final approval and restrictions on publication of trade secrets are lifted, the commission said. BMW is one of the few companies to support hydrogen fuel cell technology and has launched a pilot fleet of hydrogen-powered X5 SUVs.

      The iX5 features a hybrid battery/fuel cell drivetrain with a total output of 401 HP (295 kW). Two 700-bar carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic hydrogen storage tanks can hold about 6 kilograms of hydrogen and travel 504 kilometers (303 miles) in WLTP conditions. For now, BMW has yet to commit to mass production of the iX5.
      Other automakers backing hydrogen include Toyota, Renault, Hyundai and Honda. Toyota makes the Mirai fuel cell sedan, and Renault says hydrogen can power the internal combustion engine in its Alpine range of sports cars.
      The “Hy2Move” project will be co-funded by Estonia, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Slovakia and Spain.
      A total of 11 companies plan to participate in 13 programs. The European Commission says it expects to create 3,300 jobs by 2031.
