Combat fossil fuel with wind and battery
The wind farm will change Tesla's battery facility.
The French renewable energy company Neoen is in Honesdale of South Australia, which owns a wind power plant as generating to 100MW / 129MWh battery of the Tesla is electricity sales.
In order to keep the grid normal, it is necessary to manage abnormal situations and average sudden power shortage. This operation was the traditional method to use electricity generated by thermal power. However, it is time-consuming to turn the turbine, if it is thermal power, and it is more convenient to use a battery type that can respond instantaneously.
Tesla's battery is used there. RenewEconomy Saying that contracts that the wind farms are tying are not tied to gossip, they say that they have flexibility in usage. For example, 70% of the output of 100 MW (70 MW - 10 minutes) is a contract with the Australian government and the rest (30 MW - 20 minutes) is used for saving money when the demand is particularly high or supply is restricted. The application has become effective so as to do.
Neoen has a contract to connect the facility to the wind power plant in Victoria state with an output of 190 MW and acquire 90% electricity. And it is likely to be able to sell electricity between $ 55 / MWh and $ 65 / MWh.
Tesla's battery solution is required in Australia from the standpoint of corporate profits and good electricity costs and from the viewpoint of power stability of the country.
