Lithium Valley Main Report 2018
Lithium Ion Battery pack – A combination of cells, packaging and electronics. A single battery cell is a simple device that individually stores and discharges relatively low amounts of energy. To deliver meaningful performance for energy storage or transport requirements, many individual cells (often many thousand) are required to allow significant energy consolidation. This then requires a method for distributing power, monitoring cell status, managing charge/discharge and condition reporting. These packs also need to be in a format “fit for purpose” (size, weight, shape, capacity, strength, etc. A storage device or an Electric Vehicle may contain many “packs”, not necessarily the same size (due to “space and shape” design constraints), nor necessarily with the same number of cells. The assembly of cells into packs also supports simpler downstream integration into storage systems and electric vehicles. Western Trade Coast (WTC) - is located 30 minutes south (approximately 40km) of Perth at Cockburn Sound and has direct links to air, sea, road and rail network. It is an approximately 4,000-hectare industrial region and consists of four primary estates Kwinana Industrial Area (KIA), Latitude 32 Industry Zone, Rockingham Industry Zone and the Australian Marine Complex (AMC).
