The facility offers energy-storage capabilities similar to those of pumped hydro facilities while helping to improve the balance of supply and demand when renewable energy sources are used. The energy storage system achieves effective overall control and improved operational efficiency through the use of Mitsubishi Electrics BLEnDer® RE battery SCADA system to monitor and control modules in a multiple module system. Also, containerized, compact (double stacked) battery modules help to reduce the facility footprint, installation time and construction costs.
BLEnDer RE Battery SCADA System
BLEnDer RE is primarily an energy-management system that monitors and controls energy storage within the SmartGrids power supply and demand system. The system smooths variations in frequency and power flow caused by renewable generation via battery control. In addition, it enables efficient operation via power supply control through the coordinated use of multiple-generation sources and batteries, as well as technology for optimizing operation, stoppage timing and output of the various sources.
As the use of renewable energy resources expands worldwide, Mitsubishi Electric will continue building on its technical capabilities to supply advanced battery-energy storage-control facilities for the stable supply of electric power in Japan and worldwide.

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
