13 billion won support for 4 years to the Ministry of Industry and applied product demonstration
[투데이에너지 송명규 기자] The government actively invests in product development to use the battery after use as a high value-added industry.
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (Minister Sung Yun-mo) announced that it is promoting the development of technology and application products for high value-added recycling of used batteries in electric vehicles, which are expected to increase in the future.
It is expected that the battery after being used for a certain period of time in electric vehicles can be applied to other fields such as ESS (Energy Storage System) and street lamps to increase the utility value. However, since it has been used for a long time in various environments, the difference in performance and safety may be large, so it is necessary to prepare an appropriate evaluation plan to secure product reliability.
Accordingly, the Ministry of Industry will provide a total of 13 billion won in national expenditure for four years from 2021 to develop performance and safety evaluation technology and mobile application products, and develop and demonstrate MWh-class ESS technology.
First, support less than 1.4 billion won for the development of reusable, remanufactured battery pack performance and safety test and evaluation technology, develop performance and safety evaluation technology using BMS applied to modules and packs, and develop BMS exclusively for batteries after use, design and evaluate control algorithms , BMS will invest less than 500 million won on technology development for mobile application products (carts, etc.) using remanufactured batteries, such as standardization to secure safety and reliability.
In addition, it plans to support system design and production for ESS construction such as new and renewable-linked MWh-class battery ESS technology development and verification, and battery BMS and BCU after use.
Ministry of Industry evaluates batteries after use through this project·The company plans to support efficient recycling of used batteries and securing competitiveness of related companies by establishing application standards and supporting the development of various and safe product lines using spent batteries.
