After half a century Sanyo came back to Panasonic

Category: Uncategorizedadmin @ 9:24 pm

Thanks to Sanyo, Matsushita, qualified as one of the largest electric companies in Japan.

December 21, 2009 announced that Matsushita that it has signed 4.6 billion U.S. dollars in preferred stock conversion, received 50.27 percent stake in Sanyo Sanyo solar cells and also get battery technology that is achieved with an annual turnover of 11.22 billion Japanese yen, the go-ahead nation’s largest Electric Company, Hitachi.

According to Japanese media reports, Panasonic Vice President, and electrical equipment in the old pool director Junji Sakamoto summer to his new post, Vice President of Sanyo, the former director PA3191U-1BRS PA3191U-2BRS PA3191U-3BRS of the Pine Yip Kin Jiro Panasonic Sanyo executive offices. The three men are likely to shareholders in 2010 was elected as a director of Sanyo, the Sanyo brand will be retained.

Matsushita said the director of acquisitions from late 2008, while it is experiencing the United States, the European Union and China’s anti-monopoly investigation delay of 10 months, in the middle, when the news spread in the transactions.

“The new venture will allow China to the corresponding change in market structure.” China’s Anti-Monopoly refused Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce. Matsushita will pay utilities, stripping Sanyo coin-type lithium battery was adopted secondary economy.

In line with WTO rules, is business in 11 countries, the need for each country for approval.

January 21, 2009, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce received a statement from Panasonic Sanyo acquisition, but the declaration of materials that are incomplete, the other completed and perfected. 30. April to have additional material by the Ministry of Commerce on 4 May explain placed on file, and a preliminary review.

In the preliminary review, the Antitrust Division of the Ministry of Commerce that the new joint venture in some overlaps significantly larger market share, market structure may change significantly, decided to further review and announced that the period 3 September.

Panasonic detailed review of the Commerce Department noted that the issue of monopoly: The new company will be used coin-type lithium secondary battery (for mobile phones, cameras), civil Ni-MH battery (in the range of power tools), vehicle and hinder nickel-metal hydride batteries, etc. 3 free competition in product markets. The insider said, that takes into account the future of Panasonic coin-type lithium secondary batteries for 61.6% of the market, so that the downstream user the ability to very limited commercial nickel-metal hydride batteries for 46.3% market shares are taken into account in the car with the nickel-metal hydride batteries, Matsushita and Toyota PeVe joint venture shall account for 77% of the market.

The Ministry of Commerce invited to explain the two sides overlap, product, sales data, product and pricing strategies for studying the documentation and evidence, and propose solutions to existing problems. Ministry of Commerce Anti-Monopoly Service for insiders to understand the relevant circumstances, in the direction of the different products, 39 competitors and downstream users, distributed questionnaires, telephone interviews with individual companies, and went to Shenzhen and so on-site investigations .

August 26, 2009, Matsushita check for an extension of the Ministry of Commerce for further period and the period until the 3rd November. The two sides discussed five times, 22 October, PA3284U-1BRS PA3285U-1BRS PA3285U-2BRS PA3285U-3BRS Panasonic and Sanyo to submit a final remedial action plan - the new company six months after stripping all the coins Sanyo secondary lithium battery business, selling a Panasonic or Sanyo Ni-MH battery civilian business.

In fact, to pass the national anti-monopoly review, Matsushita Kanagawa prefecture in Japan Shonan factory nickel-metal hydride batteries, the transfer to an independent third party to receive the contribution ratio of 19.5% from 40% of PeVe , the right to appoint directors of the company and shareholders include the General Assembly vote, PeVe change of name “Panasonic” the new name for the word to Fujitsu, Sanyo Energy sold.

October 30, 2009, believes the Chinese Ministry of Commerce anti-monopoly service, after the implementation of aid programs may crowd out the negative impact on the Chinese market share, as “conditional.” It is reported that examine the applicants in a similar way, by the EU and U.S. antitrust authorities.

New energy of subsidy policy

Category: Uncategorizedadmin @ 10:22 pm

Since the State Council promulgated the policy of car consumption less than a month, January 10, once again, spread the good news, it is expected that the private purchase of energy subsidies for new vehicles for specific programs, which be published this month. Miao Wei, vice minister of public letter that the government PA3399U-1BASPA3399U-1BRS PA3399U-2BAS PA3399U-2BRS  will initially provide larger subsidies to guide the industry into the market and encourage consumers to buy new energy vehicles for automotive manufacturers to develop energy initiative. In addition, new energy vehicles will increase R & D investment in new energy automotive industry to seize the opportunities of international standards.

Promoting the commercialization of new energy vehicles

Since last month, the State Council issued a policy package to promote the consumption of cars after the purchase of new energy vehicles in private, concrete preferential programs has been concern in the industry. Jan. 10, during the forum at Peking University Guanghua the Eleventh New Year, Miao Wei, vice minister of public charter, publicly stated that the policy is expected to officially launch this month.

It is understood that politics work in this letter to the Department, developed jointly by the Ministry of Finance and other departments to promote the rapid development of new energy industry of the automobile. Miao Wei said that in the early stages of developing new energy vehicles, the government will offer higher subsidies to guide market consumption, while policy efforts will be made with the development of market-oriented phase out.

Before that, Chongqing, Wuhan, Shenzhen and other cities have been pioneers in their own policy of subsidies, the private purchase of new energy vehicles will be a relief Luqiao Fei, cash grants and so on. However, Miao Wei also said that difficult to achieve in a short time to complete the industrialization of new energy vehicles.

Jia Xinguang Automotive Analysts also believe the government provides subsidies in the short term, production and sales of new energy vehicles will not have much role in the promotion. For consumers, the purchase of new energy vehicles will not be cheap, not just the problem, or the use of uncomfortable side problem. Therefore, to promote the development of new energy vehicles is not just a simple grant, but rather how to be accepted by consumers. “Even if facilities are cheap, support electric vehicles are not complete, it is difficult to promote consumption. However, no market for manufacturers will not have much effect.”

To guide the industry to take the international standards

At present, China has 42 companies, 47 types of energy products including automotive manufacturing companies in China and product announcements, including electric vehicles, hybrids, etc.. Miao Wei said the policy would encourage hybrids, electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles will also be developed three types of development models, the mutual competition, and the annual increase in R & D investment.

It is understood that the new vehicles in China in energy technology R & D investment is the eleventh five periods is not enough year, investment in new energy vehicles from just 11 million, plus the investment of their respective companies or for reach 10 billion level. And in the new technology of the battery power of the central motor of our country need to be attacked.

At the same time, Miao Wei called for new energy vehicles in China must increase its own technical standards for use, to seize the international industry standards. It is known that the New Year period,PA3285U-1BRS PA3285U-2BRS PA3285U-3BRS  the interests of the Community of Japanese auto companies have been reporting to the International Organization for Standardization, Japanese car companies wishing to become a more mature standards for hybrid vehicles, energy vehicles a new set of international standards. Miao Wei said the development of new energy technology can prevent it from “cheating”.

Currently, China’s new energy vehicle technology is not backward, but the technical standards for use under, resulting in a standard application of passive technology

Many governments support environmentally-friendly vehicles

Category: Uncategorizedadmin @ 1:35 am

In the new environment under the concept of electric cars in the world to become the new focus of competition in the automotive industry. To cope with the future development of the automotiveDell Studio 15 battery ,Dell Studio 17 battery,Dell Studio 1735 battery industry, a number of countries in the automotive industry with government support, developments in the direction of the selected field of electric vehicles. Recently, countries in the field of electric vehicle development gushing information to a variety of related, industry has been the attention.

The EU in February will be a new Project

British media said the EU plan, 8 February this year to start EU ministers for industry, newly a new project to develop electric vehicles. Theme of the conference is “electric cars for the European Union are planning to development.” The interest groups, said: “If our market is not a pipe

Appropriate framework for the financial support, if not we have a common technical standard, it will be difficult to play in Europe a leading role in the field of electric vehicles. At the same time, we see that China and Japan accelerate the development of electric vehicles. ”

Currently, the EU experts began drafting plans to support the project. Before that, though some European countries have taken action to encourage people to buy electric cars made, but the process of commercialization of electric vehicles remains uncertain. Most European countries have yet to provide sufficient incentives for consumers. In Germany, free of the relevant policies for a five-year-Fare, can be subsidized and Italy, only certain regions of the electric car. Moreover, the need is to build a united Europe, the rapid charging facilities, development of batteries and the supporting infrastructure in production standards.

In order to invest 2.4 billion U.S. electric car

In August last year, the U.S. government an investment of 2.4 billion U.S. announced –

Yuan for electric vehicle research and development, while supporting the charging stations and other related plants.

To this end, turned to the U.S. Department of Energy through the 250 applications for the project selected 48 projects supported, the object. Under the plan, by 2011, the United States five federal states of the 11 electric car charging stations are in urban design.

In the automobile companies, Nissan involved in the project and 4700 the economy will produce zero emission vehicles NissanLeaf, Chrysler, GM and Ford have also received financial support from the Department of Energy, worth 30 million U.S. dollars to 7,000 million range. The Energy Department said that these funds will be used primarily to build plug-in hybrid and electric cars. In addition, Ford has also announced that 450 million U.S. dollars in Michigan from voting for the lithium battery assembly, gas-electric hybrid cars and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Previously, Ford has decided to plant in Michigan to invest 550 million U.S. dollars to develop the Focus small cars Fox and fully electric vehicles.

Development of global standards for electric cars in Japan

Foreign media said that in the electric vehicle safety standards of the United Nations very likely to accept the proposal by Japan for hybrid and electric vehicle safety standards as a global standard.

It is learned that the world is still no uniform hybrid and electric cars, global standard. To that end next March, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe in the coordination of the World Forum on the vehicle laws and regulations, the new hybrid and electric cars, global standards and connect Dell Studio 1737 battery, Dell Vostro 1000 battery, Dell Vostro 1200 battery formally announced later this year.

Industry sources said Japan is the world few have the hybrid and electric vehicle safety standards are implemented in the country. Under current circumstances, Japan has introduced new standards within the State, a comprehensive safety and emission standards would be a good reference for building the object.

At the same time, Japanese consumers to buy electric cars, hybrid cars and other products, as long as certain emissions standards, you can enjoy state subsidies. As the purchase of mini-electric car to enjoy ¥ 100,000 subsidy. The source said that this policy is expected to continue in the future.

Tips for extending your cell phone battery life

Category: Uncategorizedadmin @ 8:49 pm

Wanted to know why your BlackBerry seems to have become more than your fellow ’smart phone users a different device’s battery life? How long the BlackBerry smart phones on a single charge lasts depends on many factors. Your specific device type, battery size, regardless of your Pocket PC to use 3G networks, if we adopt the Wi - Fi and / or Bluetooth, regardless of whether you are using a powerful range of coverage are just a few parts equation .

So how to ensure that you are using the battery as efficiently as possible using the BlackBerry?

The real key to maximize the battery life of your BlackBerry is to obtain what kind of features and functionality of the battery know when and why. Then, you need to reduce unnecessary wastage.

I published the predecessor of this post is almost two years ago, on this piece of my five basic battery BlackBerry user’s life skills. I recommend that you check the following tips presented prior to this initial story as a new, advanced the proposal, you will find the following figures, is to provide me with advice provided in older articles. Come on, I will not go anywhere.

Ready? Cooool.

After digestion, these early tips, you will be able to transfer well to this next generation, more advanced series of recommendations. Your BlackBerry battery without any juice just sitting there, let’s go.

1) Prepare

Scouts really with the whole “ready” things things.

To speed up your BlackBerry to maximize battery life, summed up the whole practice of such sentiments, because if you always prepare the future from a business, you are more likely to live in hell a lot of batteries to accompany your BlackBerry no matter what the task may be.

First of all, on preparations for the list: BlackBerry Travel Charger. I prefer to leave my spare time than my American Express card to my blackberry charger at home. In fact, I have a spare car charger, two in my home, work desk, the other in my computer bag and an even more next to my bed, so my equipment is always “fresh” when I wake up every morning come.

Next: backup battery. I currently have 4 battery is compatible with my Blackberry 9700 - is of course no harm, BlackBerry 9700 with a bold 9000, my last one device in the same cell. I carry two fully charged pack on my notebook computer batteries, one in my car and the other spare parts are sitting at home, office drawer, I write this article. As well as the extension of power these batteries have two packages from the smart phones, accessories manufacturers, Seidio.

I also have my desk all, this is for the sake of convenience means that BlackBerry is responsible for pods, but they have quickly become my favorite BlackBerry additional. The pod is responsible for inserting into a wall outlet or computer USB port, and then drop your device only when it needs to power a simple cradle.

All of this point: I put a spare battery, and in all places, my charger in the most need them, if my current battery runs out. And you should also. BlackBerry batteries are really not that expensive, VGP-BPS8, VGP-BPS8A, ,VGP-BPS8B, , VGP-BPS9especially if you are using an old Pocket PC - not the charger. And 20 yuan, you need to give up to the handle, it seems worth when you really need to replace the battery. I usually go to Amazon.com to my BlackBerry battery needs to be.

It is also a good habit of charging equipment, as long as possible, even if you still have more than 50% battery life left. I am more likely to charge my device at work, one using the above pod, because I have become accustomed to see on a digital clock, once my device is placed on display in the cradle. This helps me remember that the regular charge.

2) Avoid excessive competition or media consumption

BlackBerry’s latest generation of smart phones, impressive multimedia capabilities, allowing you to download, store and listen to and / or view the many types of media, different. You can listen to music on your microSD card; stream live NBA games through the popular NBA basketball game the application of the time, listen to Internet radio through different number of products of your favorite artist, or playing games, you from RIM’s BlackBerry Application Program Download the World Cup both hands.

However, each channel, one of the important activities, BlackBerry’s battery life, and you are wise to minimize the use of most, if you want to save power. This does not mean you can not brush your skills playing the 21 o’clock flight to Las Vegas card game application. Or the use of radio slacker cool song to use the cache feature, you can listen to Internet radio stations at the same time, there is no network connection.

However, you should be aware that this application, especially application software for wireless connectivity constant stream of data, it is likely to eat the battery like a hungry gamblers at the casino buffet of life. Many of these applications also require you to keep your display in your turn to use them, so the screen backlight is also run out of battery or 21-per-click Point.

You should use data-intensive applications, or battery-wise, especially if you do not carry a spare battery, or do not intend to visit in the near future charger.

3) understand and use your wireless connection to use

I mention this in my original Blackberry battery life tips stories, so I will not spend too much time. But there are two or more, I would like to add advanced proposals.

You can easily start or shut down by clicking on the “Manage Connections” icon on your BlackBerry wireless connection, and then select the options you want - Mobile Network “and” Wi - Fi’s “off”, and Bluetooth “, and” for example.

But you can also turn off all of the data connection, but also left a voice-active function. To do this, open the “Manage Connections” option, click on “Service status” item, and then click on your BlackBerry menu key, which is located directly to the left of your trackball / touchpad. Next, select the mobile network from the menu option, and then in the following screen, disable data services.

Note: Turn off your data services, will save battery life, but will disable your device’s core function is to - anyone who needs Internet connection - so beware. The only core functionality, data services will work with people with disabilities to voice calls and SMS. (I also think that during the holidays or off this trick useful, when I still want to call, but do not want to check my e-mail.)

When you want to backup your data, simply reverse the process described above, the data services. Choose to return.

If you are using 3G, GSM devices, like the way blackberry bold, you can shut down your battery faster 3G-intensive 2.5G, or EDGE, to connect the connection. Just click the connection icon in your management again, playing mobile network options, scroll down to the network model. In the network mode menu, select “second generation.” But remember, you will not be able to access their 3G network, until you restart the network model.

4) Close unused applications - even if you and the early resumption of

Again, I gave my first Blackberry at this point the battery life tips post, but I take further here.

Many applications use the respect of RIM’s BlackBerry “push” technology, can bring news, notification and warning equipment, the corresponding service, receive them almost immediately. This is all fine and good - apart from the need to trade battery life initiatives and receive new data. Application, the more you open the use of certain types of auto-update process, the more the battery life of the application procedure, to eat.

Thus, while the relevant skills I first just want to turn off all the “power of high energy-consuming” applications, they do not use, today, I suggest that you close all applications, when you do not employ them. You will not receive updates or notifications, but you can always re-open a specific application if you want to check it.

This is the same as IM applications, such as BeeJive or IM +, which makes many BlackBerry users to run continuously. If you are a heavy IM users, this tip may not play for you. But if you, like me, rarely used, except through the BlackBerry instant quick chat, you would be better to leave your IM program disabled until you need them.

A quick way to determine which applications are running at a particular time open, hold down the Escape key to your BlackBerry BlackBerry Application Switcher Ribbon - directly to your right trackball / touchpad a few seconds -. The core of BlackBerry, browser, mail, BlackBerry Messenger, and the mainVGP-BPS9/B, VGP-BPS9/S ,VGP-BPS9A, VGP-BPS9A/B icons on the screen can not be closed, but any other show in your application, switch off through the application menu.

5) The standby mode is your friend

You can quickly and easily to many BlackBerry devices into the “standby mode” in order to save battery life when not in use, among other things. Standby mode is different from the blackberry screen / keyboard lock, because it not only to freeze your device’s keyboard, and disable your monitor, saving electricity.

You to activate the standby mode in  different ways, depending on your BlackBerry device, but some new equipment can enter standby mode simply made the mute button on the upper right corner, or device.

For example, I put my Blackberry 9700 bold Every time I go into standby to my pocket mute button at the upper right corner of the device. (Check your user manual or search Google, if you are not sure how to activate your phone’s standby specific. Note: As far as I know, the storm 2 no standby mode.)

You need to push the mute button again - or re-enter any key combination to activate the standby - turn it off. Therefore, if you find your device, but will not start button, to ensure that their will not standby.

6) Disable the camera’s flash

If you hire your BlackBerry universal digital camera, but to extend battery life, you can turn off or adjust the camera’s flash. The use of flash once or twice, may not have too little impact on battery life. However, repeated use, is bound to pay.

To modify your camera’s flash settings, open the camera icon, click on your main screen of the BlackBerry BlackBerry camera applications. When the camera viewfinder is opened, click on your BlackBerry menu key, hit options, change the default flash is set to “no”

Click on your Escape key to exit out of the Options menu, save your changes, and your memory will be closed the next time you open the camera. To open it, just reverse the process.

7) Add e-mail accounts insoluble

Each e-mail or group messaging to your BlackBerry inbox time, you reduce the overall device battery life. Therefore, in order to maximize battery life BlackBerry, you should only connect to “related” e-mail accounts to your smartphone.

For example, if you have your Microsoft Outlook, two Gmail accounts, a Windows Live Mail and Yahoo! E-mail with your BlackBerry device to provide a simple electronics, you are using your battery life a large number of e-mail - assuming you have received an e-mail to these accounts.

You may need your Outlook e-mail, VGP-BPS10,,VGP-BPS10A,VGP-BPS10A/Bespecially if your BlackBerry is work release. However, you really need a Gmail inbox, which can be connected to your smart phone? You can even receive e-mail, the ancient Windows Live Hotmail account?

This is a good practice, just connect to your most frequently used e-mail to your BlackBerry device, because it reduces the number of mailboxes will not only increase your overall battery life, but also clutter the main BlackBerry e-mail folders.

the rise of solar cell industry

Category: Uncategorizedadmin @ 9:51 pm

    By the international financial crisis, the global semiconductor and electronics industry slowdown. Among them, the semiconductor industry, annual sales fell by 2.8%, the size of the consumer electronics industry rose by only 0.94%, the growth rate by 5.5 percentage points down. However, the global solar cell industry for five years has continued with high growth momentum, output continued to grow significantly.

    Global solar cell production capacity increased by 83% over 2007, reaching 13GW; solar cell production reached 35% to about 4725MW, PV system, an increase of 35% over the previous yearVGP-BPL8 , VGP-BPL8A ,VGP-BPL9  and reached 3962MW; solar cells market to reach 15.9 billion dollars. In solar cell applications accounted for the 2008 installed capacity of solar cells in Europe for 75% of installed capacity in the world, occupied by Germany, the world’s installed capacity of over 50%. Over the past 15 years, the global PV industry of 25% of the average annual growth rate of rapid growth.

    Solar photovoltaic industry has been able to obtain high growth momentum, thanks in part to clean solar energy as renewable energy, is the world’s new energy development.

    The EU Joint Research Center study shows that will in the future world energy mix, renewable energy, especially solar photovoltaics are an increasing share of solar power by 2030 account for 10% of the global energy mix in 2050 included, this proportion rises to 25% by the year 2100 will reach 64%.

    On the other hand, governments of great importance connected PV industry, and deal with the international financial crisis to cultivate new economic growth point for the important step. Among them, Japan, the recovery of solar energy policy, announced Prime Minister Taro Aso, that by 2020 the amount of solar energy generation, Japan is 20 times higher than the current expansion would be. Obama’s New Energy of the U.S. government will boost the U.S. economy as the most important starting point, wants 150 billion U.S. dollars over the next ten years to invest new energy research. The Australian government announced in May 2009, to spend 1.05 billion U.S. dollars to build the world’s largest solar power plant, estimated that the project could be 1000MWp powered future. In 2020, the Australian renewable energy will supply up to 20% of the total electricity supply.

    Currently, China is the world’s largest manufacturer of solar PV has 11 overseas listed company in 2008, the production of photovoltaic cells tablets 1.78GW, ranks first in the world, accounts for 26% of world production.

    However, with the largest manufacturers of solar cells is in sharp contrast, in 2008, is China’s solar photovoltaic capacity is only 34mW, the world’s total installed capacity of only 0.57% of the national total installed capacity of the calendar year, 140mW, are not sufficient Spain 2008 annual installed capacity of 2511MW by 5.58%. In addition, the production and the huge gap between demand, combined with a lack of core technology is the industry but also in China’s solar photovoltaic industry has led to high external dependence.

    In this context, so that the domestic PV market reached an important development from the corporate level, should step up product development, improve the efficiency of converting solar photovoltaic products, products reduce costs.

    From the perspective of the government, at the time, solar photovoltaic industry in the development of policy in our country’s efforts and the implementation of the scale of VGP-BPL2 VGP-BPS2 , VGP-BPS2A VGP-BPS2Csubsidies has been further improved, particularly in the electricity price subsidies, tax incentives, demonstration projects in areas such as politics was further strengthened. In March this year progress report of the Ministry of Finance, Housing and Urban-rural Construction jointly published the “solar applications in architecture, policies for financial assistance to fund management, financial support for the implementation of optical construction applications to demonstration Projects address the building integration of solar photovoltaic design and construction features support insufficient application of technical standards, the lack of implementation of components and construction of solar PV module production capacity of weak and so forth to the field of solar initiated photovoltaic applications in rural and urban construction-related markets and lead the development of solar photovoltaic industry

system of lithium-ion battery pack

Category: Uncategorizedadmin @ 10:41 pm

With the rise of the continuous development of the national economy, energy, electricity, transportation, telecommunications, environmental protection and other areas of modern requirements. Used as back-up battery system energy in large quantities will not allow power-off all power systems, is a vital battery backup power systems. Also, the battery system will be in different industries, more and more widely applied. Battery life status is normal, a direct impact on applications in a variety of devices, normal, reliable and safe operation. In particular, unmanned site and e-commerce center, bank back-up battery is particularly important.

After testing and optimization of the battery group in each monomer battery performance, there are still differences, these differences in the long-lasting process of the battery by the small differences in the environment (such as the temperature difference) in varying degrees to new to create differences. After a long single-significantly reduces battery power, a serious impact on battery power, or even accidents, and requires early diagnosis of single-cell performance degradation and premature failure. In addition, the single-cell performance degradation or failure will reduce the battery SOC (state of charge) value, because poor performance provides a single battery, the battery charge level. A battery has a rule by a series of single cell or battery modules connected in series; performance of the backward single battery can cause an early termination of the total discharge of the battery. And therefore must be fitted battery fault diagnosis expert system. By the diagnostic system to reach the battery failures and risks of early warning systems so that they can effectively increase the battery electric vehicle driving range and interference-free hours, thus minimizing the maintenance burden and thus ensuring reliable operation of electric vehicles can.

Electric vehicles, in whole or in part, from the energy storage battery. Constrained electric vehicle technology development and industrialization of electric vehicles as a major problem is the energy storage cell and its application. Battery with the use of a prominent issue is the difference between the individual cells, there are inconsistencies, vgp-bps13a/b vgp-bps13b/b,VGP-BPS10A,VGP-BPS10A/B,VGP-BPS10B,so that the battery does early detection of inconsistencies and mistakes in crucial technical problems. Need to develop a series of early fault diagnosis system. Through expert diagnosis system we can achieve the early detection of diseased cells, but also to enable the accurate remaining capacity estimation model to be, this can prolong battery life and to further reduce battery costs and extend the range of electric vehicles by vehicles to improve drive reliability. The system and technology research has theoretical value and the promotion of electric vehicles, industrial importance.

Polysilicon industry, due to defficient technical and process control

Category: Uncategorizedadmin @ 9:58 pm

Polysilicon is the world’s largest solar cell materials, although China has the world’s largest solar cell producer, but a long time, polysilicon rely heavily on high-priced imported from abroad in order to earn the domestic producers of solar cells for only a small processing fee.

Recent years, with LDK Solar, Sichuan Xinguang a number of companies such as the introduction of foreign technology have polysilicon project self-sufficiency rate of polysilicon in China PA3534U-1BRS PA3591U-1BRS PA3465U-1BRS started to improve raw materials. However, because of the technology and process control is not yet in force, China’s polysilicon production costs of high energy consumption, and China, the solar photovoltaic industry in the development of a “flawed”, it seems more step by step, China’s polysilicon industry, face “destruction” of keeping dangerous.

Single-conditioning power consumption corresponds Nanchang 1 / 4

In the current domestic production of polysilicon, the company behind AP K LDK PV Silicon Technology Co., Ltd. are in polysilicon production, as an investment “big ticket” items, from the information already available to the public view, 1, 5 million tons of design capacity is currently the largest single-plant capacity.

This massive project will be located in Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province, Jinan International Photovoltaic Science and Technology Development Zone, base covers an area of 1.162 million square meters of annual production of 3,000 tonnes in the five electronic-grade polysilicon production line, the popular use of the current international “law improve Siemens’ production of polysilicon materials. Project in September 2007 the work started in 2009, began trial operation for the production in the second half.

Polysilicon production with high energy consumption, of which the largest portion of electricity consumption. According to the Jiangxi Provincial Environmental Protection Office Savi 15,000 tons of polysilicon production project be approved, “the project go into production, annual consumption of diesel is about 209,000 tonnes a year of two months from 3.2 billion kWh of electricity,” Single - system power consumption corresponds to the total electricity consumption in Nanchang 1 / 4; is the view of the living plant, the production of the comprehensive energy consumption per kilogram of polysilicon to 213 kWh.

Giant energy like this, a number of SMEs in the manufacturing of polysilicon on the higher energy consumption. Shijiazhuang Dongming Silicon Technology Co., Ltd. in December last year, a polysilicon production in store, with an annual production of 200 tonnes. According to the company office, said Zhang Xin, director of investment banking is a leather company, see above all to earn the industry money, they have an economic activity of Luoyang, Henan province, Siemens France improved technology, which in July started last year, day and night to catch the progress of less than half of the production. At present, 18 tons of polysilicon production business monthly power consumption 3.5 million yuan to 0.5 yuan per kilowatt per month 7 million kWh consumption, production and energy consumption per kilogram of polysilicon to 389 kWh.

All energy recovery two to three years

Such a high energy consumption means that the development of this industry should be restricted to prevent the development? In fact, the same high energy consuming industries, and China’s iron and steel, electrolytic aluminum, compared the two industries, the production of polysilicon, energy consumption per unit output value is less than steel and aluminum.

CPPCC member and president of Nanchang University School of Photovoltaic-week long has been done specifically measured, although the production of energy consumption per ton of polysilicon as steel and aluminum, but much higher than the price of polysilicon per ton of steel and electrolyte - aluminum, even if the polysilicon prices from a peak of $ 400 per kilogram, now stands at about $ 70 dropped to the level of polysilicon energy consumption per unit output value is still lower than the steel and aluminum.

Calculated from the production of polysilicon for the solar industry PV modules power generation, power consumption of the entire process, according to Suntech Power Control Co., Ltd., and Professor Zhou Long, the medium-light conditions in our area, install a one megawatt of solar - volt system, the annual electricity output of approximately 120 million kilowatt hours and 1-watt of silicon solar cells in accordance with an integrated power generation of 3 kwh basis, the 1-megawatt solar photovoltaic system, production installation of three million kwh is installed, only 2.5 years to be fully recovered balance on their own. Since each level of the difference in energy companies, domestic polysilicon solar photovoltaic system, the average payback period of the production installation of energy between the two to three years. With lower energy consumption, the payback period will be reduced further.

At the time when the domestic production of solar energy components of the life span of approximately 25 years, calculated to produce the solar component in achieving the production of energy needed to again, not nearly to consume electricity to some 22 years in power and there are no emissions. In fact, even 25 years later, the efficiency of the solar panels generate about 25 years ago are used to 80%, still for a long time. ZHOU Lang said: “Our country has reduced the commitment of the international community to the year 2020 carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP in 2005, 40%, compared with -45%, non-fossil energy accounts for the share of primary energy consumption by 15% . rung In those achieved after the wind electricity, nuclear power, is following the great development of photovoltaic power generation in early development. ”

Save Imperative

Although recovery can cycle perspective polycrystalline silicon solar cell module is used to restore production of electricity in 2023. However, as China’s polysilicon production unit energy consumption is much higher than the world advanced level, which is also our production capacities for polysilicon costs farPA3399U-1BRS PA3399U-2BAS PA3399U-2BRS PA3421U-1BRS higher than the world advanced level, once the world’s advanced level on behalf of seven main groups of foreign collective price reduction our existing production capacities for polysilicon companies will face huge losses, is China’s polysilicon industry, the danger of destruction.

Zhou Long explained that currently produces overseas, seven major polysilicon manufacturers a comprehensive energy consumption per kilogram of polysilicon 120 kWh kWh between -150 and our average level of polysilicon production company more than 200 kwh, and many small factories and also the level of more than 300 kWh. The polysilicon production costs, power consumption currently is the most important part of China’s advanced polysilicon production at its state of high energy consumption, making domestic polysilicon production costs far higher than the world level.

Opto-Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. Sun, general manager of Jiangxi Peng said that currently on the international market price of $ 60 to $ -70 polysilicon, the domestic enterprises to produce a kilogram of polysilicon costs of -50 Dollar 40 dollars more in between, and Overseas seven major polysilicon, the cost of manufacturing firms $ 20 $ -30. After the seven major groups of foreign collective lower prices is China’s polysilicon production companies are facing bankruptcy.

The polysilicon industry is capital-intensive industries, a huge investment, higher corporate assets and liabilities. In LDK Solar LDK Solar Silicon Technology Co., Ltd. 15 thousand tons annual production of polysilicon project, for example a total investment of more than 10.0 billion euros, of which only the more than 100 million yuan investment in environmental protection. From the reporter who interviewed a number of PV companies responsible for comprehensive assessments, polysilicon industry average asset-liability ratio of more than 60% when a company is bankrupt, the banks bear the huge loan losses.

For the high energy consumption of China’s polysilicon industry, the industry there is a crisis of the status quo, Zhou Long, Peng and other professionals who suggested that the government measures to encourage enterprises, research institutes, as polysilicon to reduce production and consumption take a joint scientific research and the company revenues should be a higher proportion of R & D costs extract to go into production and reducing consumption of technical research and technological improvements.

the experience of BYD success

Category: Uncategorizedadmin @ 10:40 pm

Look at Dark Horse BYD cars in the domestic auto industry than any other number, ie, their marketing strategy from the outset of an outsider. For the F3, was at the original listing VGP-BPS10,,VGP-BPS10A,VGP-BPS10A/B,VGP-BPS10B,of 1000 shops plan to the battery and phone is not turned on BYD Auto’s marketing tactics in the mainstream car business may seem odd, and we are not a way.

But the surprise of the odd trick now seems to be still valid. F3 listing an instant sensation, and 1000 store program supports BYD Auto doubled revenues each year. BYD Auto in 2009 rose to 40 million units in 2010, will continue to double to 80 million.

Mavericks

BYD Auto Start in 2005, the first self-developed models, F3, if not the choice of front-line-listed cities such as Guangzhou-Shenzhen large decorated conference, and instead the central city of Jinan, as a starter, and then the country more than a dozen second-tier cities, one-stop access point to a sub-station market, a new car a complete listing of events is as long as six months.

This lack of giggling money from other companies that any ambitious sub-station-style is unusually effective marketing to open F3 quickly overwhelming in the second and third tiers cities on the market. BYD Auto is proud to hold the cards that will not follow the common sense marketing approach, “Precision Marketing.”

When F3-listed sub-station-style marketing, and cell phone battery is in fact the origin of the BYD some doubts about the automotive industry, with a new attempt to understand, test, through a series of marketing at the BYD Auto industry, followed did appear to be more bold.

Look down, channel high-speed expansion, BYD, two years ago that the “1000-Store Project” channel-building objectives, the network coverage of 100% of the capital cities, prefecture-level cities reached 80%, and county-level city more than 70% of the total network up to 900, the customer service center 8, providing parts distribution and technical support.

BYD Auto Sales is a sub-network to the rapid expansion of the network approach taken to achieve, even though the product is not very rich, but the A1 network BYD has already been completed, A2 Network, A3-Net, 3-phase system, the number of branches to 700 over. BYD is A4 starts in 2010, will soon break through sales of 1000. The Volkswagen, General Motors, Toyota and other foreign brands in the Chinese market 10 years of hard work, the two joint ventures or sales offices of various brands, but also to more than 1,000 stores.

In the meantime, BYD marketing company today has more than 1,000 people, or even decades, reached far to the development of a joint venture brand, the nation’s largest automobile distribution company and is still recruiting people.

And auto companies nationwide set up several large areas, a large district manager of a province or a few tubes of different provinces, people are basically has a large number of BYD each city or region, a Regional Director. Regional Director of the following is the Regional Manager, a regional manager, it targets only four stores save, through the eyes of rigid legs, the most primitive manner of execution as a sharp eye on the sales of the individual.

BYD Auto rapidly growing network of dealers to create the threshold, have not so high. Invest in a car dealership and other brands is different from several million, as many as tens of millions. In some medium and small cities, the investment of around 300,000 -50 million BYD be able to open a dealership. Also, the high discount BYD in other factories, sometimes as high as 15%, far higher than the normal level of around 5% of the manufacturers.

While bringing the rapid expansion of network management problems BYD car, car dealers have privately about the BYD distributor for the lack of adequate support and supervision, merchants complained to the principle of laissez-faire government, there are only small gains, the access to easy from difficult questions, but the current situation, makes the practice of this rapidly expanding their networks BYD a good understanding of the second and third-line market, the increase in automobile production consumption possibility Revenue rose quickly accessible. Thus, own-brand vehicles in the domestic prices triggered a wave of expansion in the net flows.

Human sea tactics, commercial sea tactics absolutely cheap, chain convenience stores such practices are applied to the car BYD marketing. And recent corporate structure set up the vehicle high above the high threshold, the high standards of attitude is the practice of BYD Auto dealers, who otherwise seem quite unremarkable, it is this low profile, seemingly impossible achievement of BYD Auto, the high goals.

Shares God’s Game Effect

Bizarre marketing tactic to talk with the company BYD Auto executives very little about the front of the media, especially the head, BYD, Wang Chuanfu, and sometimes linked also search the forum, it is rare media interview, always break through the media to curb severe left quietly. Has in the eyes of some of the industry, BYD Auto quite mysterious.

But at home some time in the outside world seems to understand for the company, is the best internationally as one of the Chinese automobile company known thanks to Warren Buffett.

Determined not to touch things that do not understand, too, is Buffett’s investment principles, but in 2008 it has for the BYD he was not familiar with such a private Chinese company to break cases. With his partner of 50 years of value investing Charlie Munger told the Chinese media, said: “I think the future is very bright BYD, BYD’s like cars, BYD is China has become the most famous of the company.”

Shares God’s fame, in fact, unusually, in 10% of the shares in Buffett BYD BYD not only by subscription from institutional investors but also favors a sudden, the general public about a car brand, reputation, reputation talked to increase the level of two.

Although the delay in BYD dual-mode electric vehicle market, only a few people an insight into the truth of the matter, but Warren Buffett investment, public development of electric vehicles and other “foreign monks” in favor, as is BYD the eyes of ordinary people has become representative of the new energy vehicles.

Recently there were reports that the share of foreign investment in BYD God, because optimism has grown over its electric vehicle technology, but the battery technology. In any case, the aura of God by shares BYD Auto has long been listed as a class.

Low-cost strategy

As everyone knows, BYD Auto sold well, in addition to the high level of network coverage, distribution, shop bushel, it is a very important reason, cheap.

BYD Auto has always maintained that produces a low-cost strategies, such as the dimensions of the F3 is similar to Corolla just over 50,000, far less than the Corolla and other models in China, but also significantly lower than the Chery A3 models and so on. A00-class small car Chery, Chang’an commodity prices are about 3 million yuan, BYD F0 in a position to as low as the more than 20,000.

These low-cost strategy for rapid expansion of their networks in the second and third row BYD’s market is very effective in this young market, many consumers automobile brands, product performance and quality not appreciated, which is most appreciated affordable.

In abandoning Chery, Geely and other independent brands have expressed, in the past, low-cost strategy to take high-quality high-priced, brand-oriented marketing strategy, BYD is a rare, low-cost strategy for the insistence of the car level, and independently on the cheap from other brand-name company in the car grabbed a lot of market share.

BYD Auto is in low-cost strategy to keep a major reason is the higher cost control. BYD began in the battery of the year is to automate some of the production, have all been replaced by unnecessary work for human sea tactics defeat by Japan and South Korea, the automated production of the battery business.

Today BYD continuation of this line of thought in turn to car production in order to better reduce the costs that are BYD Auto Parts few foreign mining, from engine to plastic parts, over 90% of the parts themselves production.

“In addition to the tires and reach some difficult scale of the screws to most parts, we have made. This is not an issue for BYD, phone tool is one of our main business, VGP-BPS11 ,VGP-BPL2C ,VGP-BPL8 , VGP-BPL8A ,VGP-BPL9 telephone calls form R & D personnel in the do the same vehicle at zero parts form. “internal BYD Auto’s staff, said.

But there is also fear about everything in the industry that is hidden such forms of production BYD. Detailed division of labor in the automotive industry, today a large number of foreign mining companies outsourcing division of labor model is developed for over 100 years, and has its own rationality. Detailed division of labor contribute to the specialization, but also the risk of shifting layers. For example, due to quality problems have led to massive recalls, the automobile companies can move to Layer suppliers at all levels of the risk is, the whole industry chain, absorb the risk.

Toyota invests in lithium

Category: Uncategorizedadmin @ 11:06 pm

The race to control the lithium supply chain is in high gear as auto manufacturers ramp up the use of the mineral in their electric and hybrid vehicles.

Toyota Tsusho Corp., the sister companyDell Vostro 1700 battery, Dell Vostro 1710 battery, Dell Vostro 1720 battery of Toyota Motor Corp., announced yesterday it was forging a new joint venture to develop a lithium deposit in Argentina in partnership with Australia’s Orocobre

Ltd. Under the terms of the deal announced yesterday, Toyota Tsusho will take a 25% stake in the project with the aim of making Toyota Motor its primary customer, spurred by the high cost of lithium-ion batteries used in its electric and hybrid vehicles.

It’s not that lithium deposits are scarce. In fact, the mineral is as common as lead or nickel worldwide.

But there are few commercially viable sources and even fewer players in the emerging market. Chile’s SQM; Chemetall, a division of Rockwood Holdings Inc., and FMC Corp. are the biggest producers of the mineral, which is principally mined in Chile, Argentina, Australia, and China at this point.

Partnerships, like the one struck by Toyota yesterday, are aimed at controlling the supply chain, introducing more players and increasing competition with the goal of lowering the price of lithium for those who expect sizeable demand in the future, said James Calaway, Orocobre chairman.

“The technology is moving so rapidly in the area of lithium-ion batteries,” he said in an interview. “The automobile industry is really taking this a lot more seriously than most people might think.”

He said that while overall demand for lithium is increasing at an annual rate of 7%, demand for the mineral is increasing 35% annually for use in batteries. This is driven by automakers moving toward electrifying their vehicles to meet the rigid emissions standards set by governments around the globe.

Toyota, for example, plans to launch eight new hybrid models in the coming years with the goal of this style of engine its primary power-train in just a few years. It also plans to launch an all-electric and a plug-in hybrid vehicle by 2012 –all of which will use lithium-ion batteries.

Toyota is not alone. Major manufacturers around the globe are adapting the technology, including General Motors Co., which will launch its own electric vehicle, the Volt, this year.

The Toyota deal follows another $10.5-million equity investment in December by Magna International Inc. and Mitsubishi Corp. in Torontobased Lithium Americas Corp. to help develop another lithium deposit in Argentina.

Magna, Mitsubishi and Toyota Dell Vostro 2510 battery, Dell Studio 1535 battery, Y9943 FK890 RN873 have all secured rights to purchase a percentage of the lithium produced at the sites under the terms of their deals.

Magna showcased its own lithium-ion battery in an all-electric Ford Focus this month at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Ted Robertson, Magna’s chief technical officer, said the Aurora, Ont., parts maker has been in talks with manufacturers around the globe about the technology. But he acknowledged that at $10,000 to $20,000 each, the price tag of the batteries remains an issue.

battery plant aims at large Greenfield plant

Category: Uncategorizedadmin @ 9:23 pm

Indianapolis battery manufacturer EnerDel is expected to confirm Thursday, will open one in Indiana’s main plant, most likely at 300 County Road North near Greenfield Business Park in Axcess70.

Governor Mitch Daniels’ office said today that he will announce at 1 pm the economic development of the 8740 Hague Road, during the period, Indianapolis, in EnerDel Plant Corporation and theVGP-BPS10,,VGP-BPS10A,VGP-BPS10A/B,VGP-BPS10B appearance of the original Web site on Thursday, Neighbor’s property has been notified that they are looking for a special kind of EnerDel Hancock County Board against the use of partition letter exception. An exemption from the law of development will allow the manufacturing operations weight ratio Axcess70 allowed.

The Board will consider the request of 6:30 PM January 28 at the Hancock County Court Annex, 111 American Legion.

“EnerDel company wishes to start a new lithium-ion battery factory in the 3023 Hancock County, the distribution of the road,” the letter said.

The lawyers who signed the letter of 22, confirmed that the Mountain Comfort website is operated by EnerDel one of the options.

“If everything goes according to plan, this will be the site, said:” Timo Ochs, and downtown Indianapolis law firm Ice Miller, which is representative of EnerDel lawyer. “That’s why they made a petition to move. … We do not have any other land use application pending in any other place.”

In 2008, EnerDel applied by the U.S. Department of Energy’s 480 million U.S. dollars loan and was told that the plans to build a 1,000-employee factory assembled lithium hybrid and electric vehicles for the lithium-ion batteries.

In addition, EnerDel is expanding its 150 Northeastside of 119 million U.S. dollars federal grant plant employees. Battery production will be in Indianapolis and battery assembled in noblesville second factory.

EnerDel will provide lithium-ion battery Automotive Holdings thinking of Norway. General Motors may be converted into low-volume production in the two Elkhart, Indiana, vacant factory seat electric car next year thinking city.

EnerDel has also been trying with Japan’s Nissan Motor and Volvo car batteries supply agreements.

EnerDel is Japan’s Itochu Corporation, VGP-BPS9/B, VGP-BPS9/S ,VGP-BPS9A, VGP-BPS9A/B, vgp-bps13a/b vgp-bps13b/b,New York electronics suppliers and investment in Ener1, a technology company’s Boris Zingarevich, the Russian paper and pulp giant support. Ener1, it is thought to foster bankruptcy group, currently owns 31 per cent of the Scandinavian company has recently bought shares of Delphi in EnerDel, the Michigan auto parts maker went bankrupt.
