A Japanese company has perfected the technology to store green energy at home in the near future, and controls when and where to supply such electricity to the building.
Other companies are developing similar storage and control systems for individual homes, but Japanese companies have doubled their efforts after a massive earthquake and tsunami that destroyed northeastern Japan, and destroyed the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
First nuclear power plant.
Due to the lack of energy generated by the facility, there is growing concern about major urban areas --
Mainly Tokyo.
When the demand exceeds the quantity that other factories can provide, a power outage will be experienced.
With the beginning of summer, the temperature during the day will rise to more than 30 degrees Celsius, the demand for air power
Air conditioning equipment has been increasing.
NEC has made a breakthrough by launching a lithium-equipped home energy storage system
Ion batteries can control the power of the whole family at the same time.
NEC said the top 100 units in the industry will be available to home construction companies and businesses starting in July 18.
The system automatically controls the electricity of buildings, solar power generation systems and other equipment by connecting to the distribution panel and interacting with the electricity provided by commercial energy companies and home electrical equipment.
"This interactivity enables the system to store power at night, when the power consumption is low, and then in the afternoon, when the power consumption reaches its peak, use the stored power," NEC said . ".
"This reduces both the demand of power companies and household electricity bills.
"Recently, taking into account the power supply and demand situation in Japan in the summer, the measures to change the peak time of afternoon electricity consumption and reduce the overall electricity consumption are steadily advancing.
"Moreover, in addition to the need to save electricity, families are increasingly aware of the importance of obtaining electricity to meet basic needs in the event of an emergency or a power outage," it said. Panasonic Corp.
Working on similar technologies and running a future model home in Tokyo to showcase cutting techniques
It will make the future home greener and more energy-efficient edge technology.
The model house integrates solar panels, pipes for transporting hot water under the floor in winter, and cold water in summer, and reducesEnergy lighting.
However, the biggest obstacle to the massive introduction of such systems to families so far is the lack of reliable energy storage systems, and NEC seems to have overcome a problem.
