Axion Power Chosen for Battery Mini Power Cube in Zero Energy Building in Washington DC Naval Yard
Axion Power International, Inc., a developer of leadcarbon PbC batteries and energy storage systems, was awarded a purchase order from SilTek, Inc. confirming their participation in a Zero Energy Building in the Washington D.C. Naval Yard. Axion will be providing an array of its PbC batteries, system electronics and battery management system that together will serve as an example of Axion’s “mini-Cube” concept based on the scalability, up or down, of its primary PowerCube. The mini-Cube, which will provide demand response energy storage that will be grid network tied, will be linked to a 32 kW solar panel array and will supply standby power service for this Zero Energy Administration Building. Axion Power chairman and CEO Thomas Granville said, “Although this is a small project, in terms of dollars and number of batteries, it is a significant step forward because it comes on the heels of November’s ceremonious integration of our full PbC PowerCube onto the PJM network (a regional transmission organization founded in 1927, ensures the reliability of the high-voltage electric power system serving 58 million people in all or parts of 13 states and the District of Columbia). At the unveiling ceremony with PJM, we spoke of the scalability of our PowerCube technology; this project will be the first deployment demonstrating the range (from small 10 kW residential units, to stacked cube modules providing 20 MW) of this application. It is also an important step forward because of the strong interest the US federal government in general, and the armed forces in particular, have in zero-energy projects that reduce carbon footprints. Because of our PbC battery’s extended cycle life, high rate of charge acceptance and fast re-charging capability, Axion is able to offer metrics that make economic sense especially when compared to other more exotic chemistries that are currently in the marketplace. We are pleased and honored to be working with SilTek and the US Navy on this important project.” The Stella Group, Ltd, President Scott Sklar said, “The PbC batteries offer the right capabilities with their hybrid storage able to handle varying loads for net-zero energy buildings and
