3. description of the plant
LG Energy Solution Wrocław Sp. z o.o., produces lithium-ion batteries for electric cars PHEV (plug - in hybrid electric vehicle) and EV (electric vehicle). The product of the battery factory are lithium-ion batteries (Li-Ion), which power electric cars. A lithium ion battery (Li-Ion) is a type of electric battery in which one of the electrodes is made of porous carbon and the other of metal oxides, and the role of the electrolyte is played by complex chemical lithium salts dissolved in a mixture of organic solvents. Batteries of this type produce 3.6V per cell. This technology allows to accumulate twice as much energy as in NiMH batteries of the same size weight. The purpose of the plant facilities is as follows:
LG Energy Solution Wrocław Sp. z o.o. plant is being built in 3 stages:
a) Stage I: comprising 1 hall where the technological installation for the production of lithium-ion battery cells is located;;
b) II stage: covering 2 halls where technological installation for production of electrodes and cells for lithium-ion batteries is constructed;
c) III stage: covering 4 halls where production of lithium-ion batteries will take place;
d) Pack I hall - where the last stage of production is carried out - assembly of cells into finished batteries and accompanying processes;
e) Pack II hall - where the final stage of production is carried out - assembly of cells into finished batteries.
