Energy storage for the Johan Cruijff Arena inaugurated
The Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam has put its new 3-megawatt energy storage system from Eaton into operation. This consists of new and used batteries from electric vehicles.
Europe's largest energy storage system consisting of new and used batteries from electric vehicles has been put into operation in a commercial building in Amsterdam's Johan Cruijff Arena. The system fulfills several purposes at once: the storage system collects solar energy, serves as an emergency power supply, relieves the Dutch power grid and forms the foundation for a sustainable energy system. The project is made possible by Eaton, Nissan, BAM, The Mobility House, the Johan Cruijff Arena and supported by Amsterdam's Climate and Energy Fund and Interreg.
The energy storage system consists of Eaton's technology and the equivalent of 148 new and used batteries from Nissan LEAF electric vehicles. With its 3 megawatts, it can store enough electricity for several thousand households. The system stores solar energy from the 4,200 solar panels on the roof of the arena, reducing the need for diesel generators in an emergency and relieving the load on the Dutch power grid by absorbing the peak loads caused by the soccer matches and concerts at the multi-purpose arena with more than two million guests a year.
Eaton's technology combines the equivalent of 148 Nissan LEAF batteries, not only creating a more sustainable energy system, but also providing compelling evidence of how batteries from electric vehicles can be efficiently reused after they have served their primary purpose.
