Battery Technology + Energy Storage
5 MW / 10 MWh Demonstration – Repurposed electric vehicle battery energy storage solution (REV – BESS)
THE SOLUTION
Rainhouse is building a battery energy storage system (BESS) with second-life electric vehicle (EV) battery packs starting with a range of 1MWh to 10 MWh capacity. This will be a versatile energy management system that utilizes electric vehicle batteries from any automotive manufacturer, including Mercedes and Nissan.
This project will fund the scaling from a 100kWh containerized battery energy storage system to a 1MWh system that can either connect behind the meter or to an energy grid. It will also include the development of a first of its kind “pay-per-use” business technology solution for low-cost leasing in small Canadian municipalities.
