Second life solutions

Second life battery management solutions are made from repurposed EV batteries and are a way of giving these batteries a longer lifecycle as storage solutions.

Repurposing EV batteries

Instead of immediately recycling EV batteries when their lifetime in a vehicle is over, we utilize the precious resources and the energy that goes into making a battery, to its full potential.

Tailored systems

We test the used EV batteries and ensure their health and performance are optimal before we build them into tailored second life energy management systems, connecting them to our steering systems that make the batteries communicate with our applications.

Recycling at end of life

When the performance of a second life battery is no longer good enough, we remove the battery from the energy management solution and bring it to our recycling facility. Our partner, LiCycle, ensures that as much as 99% of the precious elements in the batteries are recycled and sold to be used for brand-new batteries.

Residential Energy Storage

System setup and control is provided by
a simple App that enables the user to
operate the system in several different
modes:

  • GENERAL MODE - PV supplies load as a
    priority, then charges the battery and
    finally feeds surplus to the grid. If there
    is insufficient PV, the batteries supply the
    load. Battery and grid supply load
    together if demand exceeds battery
    power.
  • ENERGY STORAGE MODE - PV and
    grid supply the load and charge battery
    together. Battery SoC is maintained at
    100%. If there is insufficient PV the grid
    supplies the load and charges the
    battery.
  • PEAK & VALLEY MODE  Four sub modes can be configured based on Time of day. These can define the priority of the source that supplies the load. The stored battery energy or excess PV can be pushed to the grid when demand from the load is low.
  • MICRO GRID - PV supplies load as a
    priority, then charges the battery with
    excess energy. When PV is no longer
    available the battery supplies the load.

Industrial Energy Storage

Designed for ‘behind the meter’ use in
business and industrial premises our
industrial energy storage systems take a
modular approach to simplify system
development.

Based around two electric
vehicle batteries, the basic building block
has a minimum of 40kWh of storage and
can deliver up to 30kW of power. Modules
can be connected to build larger systems in
the range of 40kWh to 500kWh.

The system incorporates an Energy
Management System (EMS) that can be
configured to meet your specific application
requirements and integration with your
Building Management System (BUMS).
Suitable for a wide range of storage
applications including peak shaving, grid
support, frequency regulation, electric
vehicle charging and increased utilization of
solar.

Grid Energy Storage

Intended for use in grid support application
our largest energy storage systems are
designed to be containerised.

Incorporating as many as 50 electric vehicle
batteries these systems can be configured
to provide a wide range of support services
to enable maximum return on investment.
The system incorporates advanced safety
and protection systems to ensure long term
reliability and is supplied with our Energy
Management System (EMS) that can be
configured to meet your specific application
and operational requirements.

Suitable for a wide range of grid
applications including energy trading, peak
shaving, voltage support, frequency
regulation, transmission & distribution
deferral in addition to energy arbitrage.

The advantages of battery systems and energy storage in commercial buildings

ECO STOR started with a vision of solving the challenges brought on by transportation electrification and the challenges associated with more and more electricity coming from renewable sources.

These sources, especially the sun and wind, are volatile sources of electricity production. 

Energy storage systems will enable the storage and stabilization of energy from renewable energy sources, thus increasing the accessibility of renewable energy. In addition, batteries help regulate the grid’s frequency through frequency services.

Also, electricity is becoming increasingly expensive, and enabling the choice of buying electricity when it is cheap, and storing it for use when it is costly, will help save money.

How do ECO STOR's battery solutions work?

EV batteries that are no longer suitable for use in electrical vehicles, have a lot of capacity left and can be turned into stationary storage solutions. 

But how is an EV battery turned into a stationary battery, and how does a battery system work?
