Industrial storage batteries contributing to the decarbonization of school facilities and disaster prevention.

basic information

Current Status and Challenges of Introducing Solar Power Generation Equipment in School Facilities The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology states that in the process of making school facilities ZEB (net zero energy buildings), it is effective to install solar power generation equipment with a capacity of 50 to 100 kW in addition to energy conservation. However, the current situation is that many school facilities in Japan have small-capacity equipment. Considering the need for power supply during emergencies and the strengthening of evacuation functions as preparations for disasters, a certain scale of storage batteries is essential to effectively utilize surplus electricity. School facilities are required not only to increase the installation rate of equipment but also to make substantial contributions to decarbonization through the introduction of large-scale equipment, including storage batteries. Benefits of Introducing Industrial Storage Batteries in School Facilities - Reduction of environmental impact - Educational materials for environmental education - Strengthening disaster prevention functions as evacuation centers (BCP measures / securing power supply during emergencies) - Reduction of electricity costs after installation - Effective use of space Source: Current Status and Challenges of Introducing Solar Power Generation Equipment in School Facilities https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/kansaisea/49/0/49_1/_pdf

◯ What is a Decarbonization Leading Region? A decarbonization leading region is a locality that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with its regional characteristics towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Efforts will be made in at least 100 regions by the fiscal year 2025. Based on the "Regional Decarbonization Roadmap," regions will be publicly recruited by the Ministry of the Environment to achieve requirements such as "net zero CO2 emissions associated with electricity consumption in the residential and commercial sectors" by the fiscal year 2030, tailored to regional characteristics.

If electricity is stored in batteries, it can be used continuously, allowing for preparedness as part of business continuity planning (BCP) measures during emergencies.

Detailed information

• 

  ●Impact of Climate Change 〈Efforts to Reduce CO2 Emissions are Active in Japan〉 Japan has set a goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and various measures are being required from municipalities, businesses, and individuals. As global warming accelerates, efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and initiatives to enhance energy efficiency in offices and facilities are becoming increasingly common. There is a demand for environmental impact measures in school facilities aimed at realizing carbon neutrality by 2050. Promoting initiatives as a school that contribute to a decarbonized society leads to improved awareness among students and contributes to the local community.

• 

  ● Intensification and Frequency of Natural Disasters Localized heavy rain, typhoons, and accompanying strong winds and river flooding are occurring frequently, with disasters of unprecedented scale happening often. One of the common consequences of these events is power outages. Furthermore, the frequency of large-scale power outages is increasing year by year.

• 

  ●Utilization of Renewable Energy Efforts that consider the environment, such as promoting the introduction of renewable energy, are being demanded. Renewable energy is essential for realizing a decarbonized society. Measures to reduce the environmental impact of school facilities are required to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. It is necessary to engage in mitigation measures through the reduction of greenhouse gases, improvement of energy efficiency, and the introduction of renewable energy. In regions that are already leading in decarbonization, initiatives for decarbonization through the introduction of renewable energy facilities, including storage batteries, in school facilities have already begun.

• 

  ●Benefits of schools introducing solar power generation and industrial storage batteries - Can be used for environmental education - Can reduce electricity costs - Can be utilized as a power source during disasters - Contributes to climate change mitigation - Can take advantage of subsidies

• 

  ●You can save on electricity costs. Industrial storage batteries significantly enhance energy-saving effects when linked with renewable energy devices such as solar power generation. Charge the storage battery during low-cost time periods (mainly at night). By using electricity from the charged storage battery during high-cost time periods, you can save on electricity bills.

• 

  ● Backup for three-phase power supply equipment is possible. CONNEXX SYSTEMS' industrial storage batteries can provide a three-phase, three-wire output of 30kW, which can be used for necessary lighting, air conditioning, mobile phone charging, and power equipment such as water supply pumps in evacuation shelters and other locations.

• 

  Utilization as educational materials for environmental education The introduction of storage batteries and solar power generation in school facilities is expected to be utilized as educational materials for environmental education and to have an effect on reducing environmental impact.

• 

  ●Batteries contribute to strengthening disaster preparedness In recent times, it has become essential to prepare for the continuation of critical operations even during emergencies such as natural disasters. Many facilities are advancing their disaster response plans by combining batteries with solar power generation to reduce energy consumption through renewable energy. Furthermore, the increasing demand for battery and solar power combinations from public facilities that serve as hubs during disasters indicates that this trend is expanding. Why not prepare for power outages caused by unpredictable natural disasters with batteries?
