Dragonfly launches lithium iron phosphate battery for rooftop PV, off-grid applications
The US-based company said the new 12 V lithium iron phosphate product comes with a 10-year warranty and has a lifecycle of more than 5,000 cycles.
BESS are becoming more attractive
As battery energy storage system costs plunge, energy price volatility is shortening payback times for storage solutions. This shift, driven by a surge in intermittently generating renewables, and ongoing innovations in battery manufacturing, marks a pivotal moment for energy markets worldwide.
Torus unveils flywheel, battery energy storage, AI-driven cybersecurity solutions
The Utah-based flywheel specialist and energy management company has recently unveiled its full-stack suite of commercial energy storage, management, and security products.
Somalia launches tender for off-grid solar-plus-storage at 25 health facilities
Somalia’s Ministry of Energy and Minerals said the solar-plus-storage systems will be deployed in the Marodi-Jeeh and Awdal regions.
Standalone liquid air energy storage system for power, heating, cooling supply
Korean scientists have designed a liquid air energy storage (LAES) technology that reportedly overcomes the major limitation of LAES systems – their relatively low round-trip efficiency. The novel system enhances efficiency by increasing power output through the generation of thermal energy using natural gas as the external fuel during energy release.
Greece, EU set up €1.6 billion fund for island decarbonization
The Greek government, the European Commission, and the European Investment Bank (EIB) have launched the Islands Decarbonisation Fund. They have initially secured €1.6 billion ($1.7 billion) to finance decarbonization projects across the Greek islands.
Eaton releases commercial, industrial BESS
Eaton says its new xStorage commercial and industrial battery energy storage system (BESS) offers storage capacities ranging from 250 kWh to 1,000 kWh, using lithium iron phosphate batteries with self-contained liquid cooling.
Scientists design residential ice-source heat pump using repurposed gas pipes
Scientists in the United Kingdom have designed an ice-source heat pump system that utilizes existing gas pipelines to transport water. The system is designed to achieve a coefficient of performance of 4.77.
Horizon Power starts vanadium battery tech trial in Australia
Western Australia’s state-owned regional energy provider Horizon Power has officially launched the trial of a vanadium flow battery in the northern part of the state as it investigates how to integrate long-duration energy storage into its network, microgrids, and other off-grid power systems.
Nigeria’s C&I solar plans under a cloud of diesel
A new approach aims to reconnect commercial and industrial (C&I) energy users to the grid, supplying daytime power from solar and batteries through grid infrastructure funded by PV installers, with diesel as a backup when needed.
