Dow Kokam, a leading large-format battery system producer, announced today that it will supply eCAMION Inc., a Canadian green-energy solutions provider, with advanced lithium-ion technology to provide stationary energy storage solutions for a Canadian utility project supported by Sustainable Development Technology of Canada.

The project will integrate Dow Kokam’s proven lithium-ion battery cells with eCAMION’s battery pack design to provide three light-weight, high-energy density, 250-kilowatt hour energy storage systems that will be embedded at the community level. The lithium-ion battery storage system will be tested with Toronto Hydro Electric System.

The integration of the Dow Kokam and eCAMION lithium-ion battery energy storage system will improve power availability and reliability within the smart grid network, while supporting renewable electricity installations. The utility project combines Dow Kokam’s  lithium-ion cell technology with eCAMION’s packaging design, along with a power management system from the University of Toronto Centre for Applied Power Electronics (ECE) that provides real-time control for power transfer between energy storage units and the smart grid.
