ANACORTES, Wash., March 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- LAVLE
USA Inc. has announced that the
company is developing the world's first, large scale, Solid
Electrolyte Battery (SEB) Energy Storage System (ESS) for the
marine market. The company's marine solution will utilize SEB
cells supplied from its Japanese joint venture partner, 3DOM and
application engineering expertise from its American joint venture
partner, Ockerman Automation. LAVLE holds the exclusive rights to
the 3DOM SEB technology for application in the marine, defense, oil
& gas, and renewables markets. The 3DOM SEB cells utilize a
unique, patented separator technology that enables the use of
lithium metal in the anode and solid materials for the electrolyte
between the cathode and anode electrodes.
When compared to existing ESS technologies the LAVLE SEB ESS
solution offers:
- Greatly increased energy density
- Much higher degree of safety due to unique separator
- Allows for a very high depth of discharge
- Faster charge rates
- Enables the use of non-flammable electrolytes
- Greatly extended life cycle
- Much lower volume and weight - novel integration schemes
possible
- Low losses within a wide ambient temperature range
LAVLE's world-class team has been working on the packaging
formats and management solution for the past 9 months. The company
plans to release the commercial version of the SEB ESS within 12
months. The team is utilizing the company's Marine Electric
Propulsion Simulation (MEPS) Laboratory located in Newport News, Virginia to prototype, test and
characterize the performance of this ESS. The company has engaged
DNV-GL to start initial evaluation of the cells and
application.
Currently, SEB cells are being supplied from the 3DOM plant in
Japan and then packaged in
Anacortes, WA. LAVLE with 3DOM is
in the process of selecting a larger manufacturing site in order to
satisfy the company's long-term vision to produce and package the
separator and SEB cells within the USA.
LAVLE is a joint venture company that combines advanced energy
storage technologies from the Japanese company 3DOM that has
state-of-the-art technology of battery cells with the best-in-class
marine engineering, design, and systems integration services of
Ockerman Automation to provide products and services to the
defense, oil and gas, renewable energy, and marine transportation
markets.
