Located in South Australia's largest lithium-ion battery in the world
US media said the world's largest lithium-ion battery began to supply power in Australia to enable this large-scale system in South Australia to cash a Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk's bold promise he has said to be 100 The battery made within days, otherwise it will be provided free of charge.
According to CNN website December 1, the electric car's Powerpack battery system stores energy generated by nearby wind farms and can power 30,000 homes, three times as powerful as its biggest competitor .
Tesla's new system is part of a solution to South Australia's energy supply problem, which has been a serious power blackout in recent years.
On the 1st, the governor of the state, Jay Weathersel, said in a statement: 'South Australia is currently a world leader in renewable energy and we are making history.'
Tesla said it hopes the project 'provides a template for future promotion throughout the world.'
Earlier this year, the U.S. electric car company and the French new energy company won the contract to manufacture the battery, reports said.
Musk pledged to "100 days to complete, or use it for free," on Twitter during an exchange with Australian billionaire Mike Cannon-Brooks. Time counted from the official signing of the agreement in September.
Musk fulfilled his promise of putting the battery system into operation in the last week of November, with the battery officially opened on December 1, but the Australian media reported that it had already started powering the grid on the peak of November 30.
According to reports, a massive storm destroyed the power line in September last year and 1.7 million people in South Australia suffered power outages. An Australian power grid operator survey found that the reason for the blackout was a problem with the safety mechanism of the wind farm in South Australia. The heat wave in February led to skyrocketing electricity demand and a massive blackout in the same month, but some experts said that large Tesla batteries alone are not enough to solve the state's energy problems.
The report also said that the battery to maintain the world's first time may not be too long.Modern company is building a battery in Tesla more than half the battery power.It is planned to put into use early next year.
