| Residential Energy Storage System |

| Applicant: NEC Corporation |

Reason for selection:
Since the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, Japan’s power situations
have entered a period of drastic changes.
The residential energy storage system offered by NEC has attracted attention
as a smart system to store electricity without waste and use it when needed.
For example, if consumers store electricity of lower rates offered in midnight
and use it when needed, they can reduce their electricity charges. In addition,
such electricity storage/usage contributes to decreasing the peak demand
in their communities. Also they can use the system as a backup for emergency
in case blackout occurs.
To promote the use of the Residential Energy Storage System, low price
and high quality are essential conditions. SUS443J1 used in the System
is a superb material, which does not contain nickel, a rare metal, and
is not only low and stable in terms of price but also has corrosion resistance
at least equal to or better than the conventionally used SUS304.The
System made with SUS443J1, a resource-saving and environment-friendly material,
will continue to maximize energy resources in the future. |
