BASF Stationary Energy Storage recently said that it will cooperate with South Korea G-PHILOS to develop and sell energy storage systems based on sulfur-sulfur batteries (NAS).
BASF Stationary Energy Storage (BSES) is a subsidiary of the German chemical giant BASF. The company has recently announced the signing and marketing agreement of sodium sulfur batteries for electrical rotation (P2G), power grid, and micro -grid applications.
Sodium sulfur battery technology was first launched in the mid -1980s. It was commercialized by the Japanese company NGK Insulators. It is now deployed in about 200 large -scale energy storage projects and micro -grid projects around the world. Its scale is 600MW/4000MWH.
Sodium sulfur batteries can work at a temperature of about 300 ° C. Even if 100%charging and discharge depth cycle per day, it can work for about 15 years without degradation. This battery is suitable for long -term energy storage applications that require up to 6 to 8 hours.
BASF has reached a cooperative relationship with NGK Insulators in 2019, enabling the company to enter the energy market with reliable and verifiable solutions and provide NGK Insulators with its global sales channels.
In October 2021, BASF's new business department, which cooperated with NGK Insulators, opened 950kW/5.8MWh sulfur battery energy storage system on the BASF production facilities in Antwerp, Belgium.
Before reaching an agreement with South Korea's G-PHILOS company, BSES successfully deployed a project that combines a sulfur sulfur battery energy storage system with green hydrogen electrolytic devices at Xiangmingfeng Farm in South Korea. The Power Conversion System (PCS) of G-PHILOS was used for the project, which was opened in 2020.
G-PHILOS now uses the 12MWH sulfur sulfur battery that was originally purchased in this project, and the two companies will seek standardization solutions for development with the G-PHILOS power conversion system (PCS). The company can provide a power conversion system (PCS) for 250kW ~ 1MW sodium sulfur battery energy storage system.
