ZBB Energy to Provide Energy Storage Systems for LifeVillage Project
Posted on: Friday, 25 July 2008, 09:01 CDT
ZBB Energy has executed a memorandum of understanding with Envision Solar International to provide energy storage systems as part of the LifeVillage solar project in Cote d'Ivoire on the west coast of Africa.
The LifeVillage project will incorporate ZBB's energy storage system along with roof mounted photovoltaic panels designed to provide a reliable source of electricity in remote areas. The system is a complete modularized solution that is durable and long-lasting, deployable via truck.
The prototype for the LifeVillage project is scheduled to be completed by ZBB and Envision by the beginning of October 2008. The prototype will be built and initially demonstrated in the US and then shipped to Cote d'Ivoire.
Based on the success of the prototype, the two companies plan to establish remote area village power systems throughout west and central Africa.
ZBB will provide renewable energy storage for the project, using its ZESS 50 zinc energy storage system, a regenerative fuel cell-type storage system which reportedly provides technical performance at a lower overall cost than other energy storage systems such as those using lead-acid, nickel cadmium or vanadium.
