From ESS News

An energy storage project integrating five different technologies is taking shape in a suburban district in the south of Shanghai, China. Once delivered, the Fengxian Xinghuo Comprehensive Multiple New Energy Storage Technology Route Comparison Test Demonstration Base (Phase I) will feature 40 MW/160 MWh of storage and spread across around two hectares.

The project will feature 10 MW/40 MWh of lithium-ion batteries, 10 MW/40 MWh zinc-iron redox flow batteries, 10 MW/40 MWh all-vanadium redox flow batteries, 5 MW/20 MWh of sodium-ion batteries, and 5 MW/20 MWh semi-solid state batteries.

High “fives” and hats off to China once again. The zinc-iron redox flow and the vanadium redox version are a pleasant surprise. But the low percentage of solid-state batteries comes as no surprise. But why isn’t all-the-rage LFP included in the mix ?
