Circular Economy: e-Waste of Batteries

Re-use

─ Using EV battery packs for grid storage application

Re-fabricate

─ Involves dismantling the EV battery packs, assessing each cell,

then remanufacturing a reconditioned battery pack

Re-cycling

─ Actual recycling of cell chemistry

• Solar energy Generation (12kWp)

• Storage through second-life EV battery in stationary application

• Distribution through multiple charger network (AC charge points, DC fast chargers)

• Vehicle-to-Grid Ancillary Services (Dynamic Frequency Regulation)

• Energy Management System (IEC 61850 implementation)

– Supply side management - Sourcing from grid, solar, storage

– Demand side management - Dynamic, individual charge point load levelling

– Time-of-use for optimised charging profiling during peak times

– Phase Balancing - Reduced load onto local micro grid network

uYilo e-Mobility Programme

The uYilo e-Mobility Technology Innovation Programme has been established since

2013 to serve as a multi-stakeholder, collaborative programme focused on

enabling, facilitating and mobilising the electric mobility sector growth within the

transport, and complimentary green economy sector in South Africa.

Aligned to global technology advancements across transport, energy and ICT

that e-Mobility impacts on, uYilo has created a footprint in the local industry, while

also leveraging on international exposure, towards advancing the uptake of

e-Mobility from industry cohesion, government lobbying, technology enabling

services, pilot projects, thought leadership and skills development.

uYilo is an national initiative of the Technology Innovation Agency (ACT 26 of

2008), a schedule 3A public entity of the Department of Science and Technology.
