Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Toshiba Laptop Battery
Toshiba and Tokyo Electric Power will set up a local joint venture with the Japanese government to build one of the world's largest solar power stations in Bulgaria, according to a report.
The plant will be located near the Bulgarian city of Yambol and it will cost more than 100 billion yen (USD1.2 B), Japan's Nikkei business daily said. According to the report the plant is expected to be built by March 2012 with an output capacity of roughly 50,000 kilowatts, which will be gradually increased to 250,000 kilowatts in five years.
Toshiba, Tokyo Electric, Japanese trader Itochu and the government-backed Innovation Network with battery such as Toshiba Tecra 9000 Battery , Toshiba Tecra 9100 Battery , Toshiba Satellite 1900 Battery , Toshiba Satellite A60-662 Battery , Toshiba Satellite A65 Battery , Toshiba Satellite 2100 Battery , Toshiba PA3107U-1BAS Battery , Toshiba PA3383U-1BAS Battery , Toshiba PA3384U-1BAS Battery , Toshiba PA3285U-1BAS Battery Corp. of Japan will invest a total of around 50 billion yen, according to the report. The Czech-owned power utility CEZ, which provides electricity to western Bulgaria, will also take part in the joint venture, investing as much as 20 billion yen, according to the report.
The setting up of the consortium is expected to be on the agenda of next week's meeting between Japanese Economy and Industry Minister Banri Kaieda and Bulgarian Economy and Energy Minister Traycho Traykov, who will be in Japan as part of an official delegation, headed by Prime Minister Boyko Borisov.
Second, end-users needed several years of validation and testing before there was a broad enough experience base to drive working relationships with first tier industrial engineering firms and distribution partnerships with companies like Hewlett Packard (HPQ) and Sun Microsystems (JAVA). Now that core business relationships are established, along with a widespread end-user experience base, Active Power can focus on selling its product line to a rapidly expanding market based on competitive capital cost, high power density, extraordinary system performance and low total cost of ownership.
Third, Active Power's target market is growing very rapidly because global reliance on automation and computerization is increasing while the level of power quality and reliability in many countries is declining. Active Power has no desire to stabilize the grid, but it knows that many industrial, commercial and governmental facilities will readily pay a premium price for the power quality and reliability their utilities can't deliver. Utilities in China typically promise customers 99.1% reliability. While that's an impressive accomplishment for a rapidly developing economy like China's, it's a far cry from the seven nines that many end-users must have.
Fourth, Active Power understands that its flywheel systems must compete with battery-based systems from companies like Emerson/Liebert, Eaton/Powerware and APC/MGE, and rotary systems from companies like Piller, Eurodiesel and Hitec. It also knows that a rapidly growing multi-billion dollar market is large enough to support several successful competitors. Accordingly, its primary goal is market credibility rather than market dominance.
