According to Japanese media reports, in order to use battery energy more efficiently, Japan’s Toyota Motor Company will sell energy management system to Japanese automobile dealers in May of 2013, which uses the Ni-MH batteries retrieved from Toyota hybrid cars. This system will be sold by Toyota Turbine and Systems Inc.
This energy management system will be sold with building energy management systems, solar garage, solar power generation, LED light, and energy-saving air-conditioning energy systems and so on, in order to control energy loss, store the electric power and improve energy utilization.
Toyota has already installed power storage system for the retailers in Nagoya, Japan and other areas since February in 2012. It is said that the electricity and gas costs of the retailers who installed this system are the half of other retailers’ costs.
In an emergency, backup power system can provide electricity which usually stores for retailers’ power facilities in the situation of power failure. Toyota Motor Company said that they will strengthen the development of these systems, in order to make Japan as a sustainable development society as soon as possible.
