Google and Xcel Energy 在明尼苏达州发射300 MW/30 GWh铁气电池, 由可再生能源提供电力, Google and Xcel Energy launch a 300 MW/30 GWh iron-air battery in Minnesota, powered by renewable energy and made under IRA incentives.

Google正与Xcel Energy合作, 在明尼苏达州松树岛部署世界上最大的铁气电池-300 MW/30 GWH-为新数据中心供电。 Google is deploying the world’s largest iron-air battery—300 MW/30 GWh—in Pine Island, Minnesota, in partnership with Xcel Energy, to power its new data center. 该系统利用 " 表格能源 " 技术,通过与空气反应的铁粒储存最多100小时的可再生能源,为锂离子电池提供安全、低成本的替代方案。 The system, using Form Energy’s technology, stores renewable energy for up to 100 hours via iron pellets reacting with air, offering a safe, low-cost alternative to lithium-ion batteries. 该系统将配有1.6千兆瓦的新风能和太阳能能力,由新的明尼苏达州公用事业费结构提供,使谷歌能够支付费用,而不提高住宅费率。 It will be paired with 1.6 GW of new wind and solar capacity and is enabled by a new Minnesota utility fee structure that allows Google to cover costs without raising residential rates. 西弗吉尼亚州正在根据《降低通货膨胀法》奖励措施制造电池模块。 The battery modules are being manufactured in West Virginia under Inflation Reduction Act incentives.
