Italy's largest energy storage system based on used batteries for electric vehicles was inaugurated on Tuesday at Rome's Fiumicino airport to help it reduce carbon emissions.
Using Rome Airport as an example, the planned 2nd-life battery storage in combination with a PV system shows the way towards the goal of net-zero emissions in the local power supply. In addition, this energy storage will also be used for grid services.
Pioneer is the largest energy storage facility in Italy powered by second-life batteries, built to support the energy needs of Leonardo da Vinci Airport.
The energy storage system with a rated output of 5 MW and a capacity of 10 MWh will be designed, built, put into operation and operated out of used vehicle batteries from different vehicle manufacturers. This has the advantage of reducing procurement risk while increasing the modularity of the system.
