Dow Kokam will supply eCAMION Inc. with advanced lithium-ion technology to provide stationary energy storage solutions for a Canadian utility project supported by Sustainable Development Technology of Canada. The project will integrate Dow Kokam’s lithium-ion battery cells with eCAMION’s battery pack design to provide three light-weight, high energy density, 250 kWh energy storage systems that will be embedded at the community level.
The lithium-ion battery storage system will be tested with a large urban Ontario distribution company.
The integration of the Dow Kokam and eCAMION lithium-ion battery energy storage system will improve power availability and reliability within the smart grid network, while supporting renewable electricity installations. The utility project will also use a power management system from the University of Toronto Centre for Applied Power Electronics that provides real-time control for power transfer between energy storage units and the smart grid.
