German researchers develop recycling for dry-processed Li-ion batteries
Researchers at the University of Münster have developed a mechanical recycling process for production scrap from the dry processing of lithium-ion batteries. The method operates without solvents, preserves material properties, and allows the recycled cathode powder to be directly reused in electrode manufacturing.
Dominican Republic tenders up to 600 MW solar, wind with mandatory storage
The Dominican Republic has launched a tender for up to 600 MW of solar and wind capacity, requiring projects to include at least four hours of battery storage to support stability in the National Interconnected Electric System (SENI).
Central African Republic starts building 50 MW of solar with 10 MWh of storage
UAE-based Global South Utilities has begun construction on a 50 MW solar project with 10 MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the Central African Republic.
How to control frequency fluctuations during PV plant deloading
Researchers in Egypt have developed new control strategies for managing frequency fluctuations during deloading of a photovoltaic plant. The proposed methodology combines a proportional–integral controller along with a rate of change of frequency controller.
