The project aims to integrate second-life EV batteries into Rome Fiumicino Airport's power supply, enhancing energy storage and reducing emissions while supporting solar energy utilization.
Projectdetails
Introduction
During the next decades, the market uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to result in the availability of terawatt-hours of batteries that, after their first 5 years of intense exploitation, no longer meet the high-performance requirements of EVs. Yet, since they are still functional and able to serve less-demanding applications, these batteries can live a second life providing stationary energy storage services at lower cost. This approach reduces environmental impacts and GHG emissions of served energy systems, as well as of the battery supply and recycling chain in general.
Project Overview
The Project aims to take the Leonardo da Vinci International Airport Rome Fiumicino a significant step towards the net-zero climate goal. This will be achieved by adding to the existing power supply system an energy storage solution that exploits second-life batteries totaling 2.5 MW power and 10 MWh energy storage capacity.
Energy Storage Functionality
This system shall store excess energy produced during the day by a 30 MW solar PV power plant planned to start operation in 2025. The stored energy will be used to cover the peak demand of airport facilities during evenings when solar energy becomes unavailable.
Innovations and Integration
The innovations expected from the project shall allow for the optimal integration of batteries of different sizes, voltages, capacities, brands, technologies, and differing aging levels into the same common power supply system.
Lessons Learned
Furthermore, the lessons learned from the project shall outline guidance for applicable business models, including:
- Technical characterization procedures to determine the aging level of adopted batteries.
- Economic assessments both at the beginning for acceptance testing of second-life batteries and during the remaining battery lifetime.
Expansion Plans
The expansion of project results to other EV brands shall allow for broader applicability to possibly any market-available EV battery make. Once the project is completed, AdR plans to install additional storage systems up to at least 30 MW power and 90 MWh capacity.
