What is Italy's largest second-life battery energy storage system?
From ESS News Italy’s largest second-life battery energy storage system was officially launched at Rome-Fiumicino airport yesterday. State-owned gas and electric company Enel’s 2.5 MW/10 MWh Pioneer project comprises 762 battery packs and modules.
What is Pioneer Energy Storage System?
Inaugurated on June 3, , at Rome Fiumicino Airport, PIONEER is an energy storage system based on repurposed EV batteries.
What is Pioneer (Airport sustainability second life battery storage?
Loccioni, a key system integrator, has announced the successful development and implementation of PIONEER (airPort sustaInability secONd lifE battEry stoRage), an innovative second-life battery energy storage system (BESS) designed for airport applications.
How will a new energy storage and management system help the airport?
The introduction of these new energy storage and management systems will allow the maximum use of renewable energy from the solar PV array, to provide balancing services to the National Grid and to reduce the CO2 emissions of the airport, in line with its targets towards “Zero Net Carbon”.
What are the innovative features of the energy storage system?
An additional innovative feature relates to the development of equipment able to check the state-of-health of the batteries before their connection to the system. The energy storage system will have a rated capacity of 2.5MW/10MWh. New battery construction will be avoided due to the project.
Will Rome-Fiumicino have a self-consumption solar project?
Airport management company Aeroporti di Roma (ADR) collaborated on the project, which also drew on the expertise of Germany’s Fraunhofer research institute. Rome-Fiumicino already boasts the largest self-consumption solar project at a European airport and Pioneer will be integrated with that “Solar Farm” facility.
