Hitachi Chemical Improves Lead Storage Battery for Renewable Energy Storage Applications

Hitachi Chemicals announced on September 2 that it will sell the “LL1500-WS” lead battery, which has a 1.5-fold increase in discharge current compared to the original product, for a renewable energy storage system, and will begin sales on September 3, 2014.

Hitachi Chemical has previously introduced the lead-acid battery "LL1500-W". The product is well-received due to its expected life expectancy of up to 17 years, and it has been adopted in eight units such as a wind power station in Japan.

In addition to the discharge capacity, the storage battery used to reduce output fluctuations such as photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation is also required to be able to cope with sudden changes in the amount of power. In order to realize a higher discharge current, it is necessary to increase the capacity of the battery, and there is a problem that the cost of introduction increases.

There is also a method of increasing the discharge current and increasing the number of cells, but this also fails to solve the problem of increase in the cost of introduction.

The new product LL1500-WS improved the conductive part of the battery, and increased the number of terminals to 3 times, so that the maximum discharge current of the single battery was increased by 50% compared with the original product LL1500-W, and increased from 600A to 900A.

Taking a system that discharges for 1 hour at an output power of 1MW as an example, when using the LL1500-WS, the cost of the battery can be reduced by about 12% compared with the original product, the installation space can be reduced by about 16%, and the weight of the battery can be reduced by about 15%. .

Piston Seals

Piston seal is a kind of seal used to seal between piston and cylinder, usually used in hydraulic system and Pressure system. The piston seal can prevent liquid and gas leakage, and also prevent external impurities from entering the system, thus maintaining the normal operation of the system.


Piston seals can be classified based on their structure and material. According to different structures, piston seals can be divided into unidirectional seals and bidirectional seals. A unidirectional seal can only prevent the leakage of liquid or gas from one direction, while a bidirectional seal can prevent the leakage of liquid or gas from both directions. According to different materials, piston seals can be divided into rubber seals, polyurethane seals, polytetrafluoroethylene seals, etc.


In hydraulic systems, piston seals are typically used to seal hydraulic cylinders and pumps. The piston seals in hydraulic systems need to have characteristics such as high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance to ensure long-term stable operation of the system. In Pressure system, piston seals are usually used to seal cylinders and pumps. The piston seals in the Pressure system need to be resistant to high pressure, low temperature, wear and other characteristics to ensure the normal operation of the system.


In addition to hydraulic system and Pressure system, piston seals can also be used in other industrial fields, such as automobile, aviation, machinery, etc. In the automotive industry, piston seals are commonly used in engines to ensure normal engine operation. In the aviation industry, piston seals are commonly used in the hydraulic system of aircraft to ensure normal takeoff, landing, and flight. In the field of machinery, piston seals are commonly used in hydraulic and press machines to ensure the normal operation of the machine.


In short, piston seals are a very important type of seal that is widely used in various industrial fields. With the continuous development of industrial technology, the materials, structure, and performance of piston seals are also constantly improving and upgrading to meet the needs of different fields.
