Operation of testing and evaluating facilities for large-scale battery energy storage systems

Large-scale battery energy storage systems including lithium-ion batteries are regarded as essential for full-scale introduction of renewable energy sources and also power backup source in case of power failures. These systems also attract much attention globally, as they may be developed for further use of frequency response and voltage support.

The testing and evaluating for such large-scale products and systems, however, demand large-scale facilities that are beyond the means of the private sector.Thus, in April 2016, NITE launched the National Laboratory for Advanced Energy Storage Technologies (NLAB) in Osaka’s Bay Area—Japan’s first testing and evaluating facility for large-scale battery energy storage systems.

NLAB Large Chamber

As one of the world’s largest testing and evaluating facilities for large-scale battery energy storage systems, NLAB Large Chamber enables to conduct propagation testing of large-scale and operation testing of safety devices such as fire extinguishing equipment.

NLAB Testing Facilities

The NLAB Testing Facilities can be utilized to conduct various testings on large-scale modules and pack-size batteries such as vibration testing by simulating seismic waves and vibration in transportation, charge/discharge and external short-circuit testing under temperature-variable conditions.
