Northvolt provides high-performance lithium-ion cells based around exclusive Lingonberry NMC chemistry. These are offered in both round and prismatic formats. Northvolt focuses on producing batteries with tidy energy, and has an objective to provide batteries with an 80% lower carbon footprint compared to those used coal energy and a target of 150 GWh yearly cell output by 2030.
Northvolt is targeting numerous applications for its battery storage items, consisting of the electrical movement sector, building market, and industrial & & commercial applications, along with grid-scale battery storage applications.
Scania, a world-leading supplier of transportation services, consisting of trucks and buses for heavy transportation applications, and Northvolt just recently showcased an extremely fascinating application for incorporating Northvolt’s Voltpack Mobile System into a mobile charging service, showing how to bring quick charging for huge trucks to any area.
The winter season vacation weeks, throughout which visitors go to Sweden’s ski resorts, provided a fantastic chance for a case research study on how to help with quick charging in remote places like ski resorts which provide special obstacles connected with an absence of charging facilities. Northvolt includes that this increase of visitors increases the requirement for trucks carrying shipments to locations like hotels, dining establishments and supermarket.
Scania, in collaboration with Northvolt, offers an option to this issue and just recently showcased this in between the 13th of February and the 10th of March. Scania took a trip to à re in northern Sweden with 2 of its electrical trucks and an unique charging service. The ingenious charging service was incorporated into a container.
The charging service is a charging system efficient in offering approximately 150 kW for 2 automobiles paired with a Northvolt Voltpack Mobile System which provides the system with electrical power, offering an energy storage capability of 560 kWh. Each Northvolt Voltpack mobile system has a capability of 281 kWh, for that reason the service utilized in this presentation had 2 Voltpacks.
Here are some specs of the system:
Voltpack Mobile System Requirements
- Item name: Voltpack Mobile 281/700
- Set up capability: 281 kWh
- Voltage: 576– 797 V (707 V)
- Thermal management: Integrated liquid cooling
- IP ranking: IP55
- Measurements: 1600 x 2000 x 1200 mm
- Weight: 3000 kg
The system is mobile and scalable. Northvolt states the system scales through a main user interface center, which can link in parallel approximately 5 self-contained Voltpacks, each including 3 liquid-cooled, industrial-grade battery Voltpack Cores. The center likewise acts as a user interface for applications, and homes inverter and auxiliary systems. If additional power or storage capability is required, this can be satisfied merely by linking numerous Voltpack Mobile Systems in parallel.
With this service, Scania and Northvolt demonstrate how mobile quick charging can make it possible for electrification, anywhere, today.
Jessica Björkquist, accountable for e-mobility at Scania Sweden, states: “An electrical truck, which in this case is charged with green energy, decreases its CO2 emissions by approximately 90% compared to a matching diesel truck. With a mobile charging system, we wish to reveal that electrification is possible here and now which you do not need to wait on either network capability or a charging post to be able to amaze.”
Northvolt likewise states that in a location like à re, where grid connection is restricted, a mobile charging service provides a variety of advantages. In addition to allowing Scania’s usage of an electrical truck instead of an ICE automobile, the Voltpack Mobile System helps with quickly charging, without putting excessive pressure on the regional grid. Existing electrical power grids are restricted in their capability to supply power. Fast-charging, in specific, can put tremendous tension on regional grids. The Voltpack Mobile System makes it possible to release quick EV battery chargers on a low-power grid. Operating as a big high-speed powerbank, the system draws electrical power from the grid and after that releases that electrical power at a greater rate than the grid might by itself. They likewise include that it is simple to scale and relocate and the appeal of the VMS is that it takes in energy throughout sluggish hours, and increases battery chargers to move power at high speed.

Here at CleanTechnica, we carried out a minimal paywall for a while, however it constantly felt incorrect– and it was constantly hard to choose what we must put behind there. In theory, your most special and finest material goes behind a paywall. However then less individuals read it! We simply do not like paywalls, therefore we have actually chosen to ditch ours.
