Argonne Lab unveils technique to track battery aging in real time
Argonne Lab uses magnetic resonance to track chemical changes inside working lithium battery cells. without destroying the test cells.
The Hydrogen Stream: Uniper delays 2030 hydrogen target
Uniper has told pv magazine that it has delayed its 2030 hydrogen investment target.
Concentrated solar power, a much cheaper solution than batteries for energy storage
By offering cheap energy storage, concentrating solar power has a huge potential. However, it requires international standards to become a competitive market proposition.
Aira launches residential heat pump with minimalist design
The Sweden-based heat pump provider said its new product is one of the slimmest and most compact system available on the market to date.
Servotech launches solar inverters, microinverters, battery storage systems
Servotech Power Systems has developed a new range of solar solutions, including on-grid microinverters and inverters, hybrid inverters, battery energy storage systems, and solar pump controllers. The microinverters feature maximum power point tracking, built-in WiFi, and reverse power transmission.
Leclanché releases battery cell with niobium-based anode material
The Swiss manufacturer said the cell was developed in partnership with Echion Technologies, which supplied the niobium-based active anode material. It has greater energy density and faster charging compared to LTO technologies.
Subsea pumped storage tech secures funding from US, German governments
A cross-Atlantic subsea pumped storage collaboration will seek to overcome the land-based challenges plaguing traditional pumped hydro storage technology.
The Hydrogen Stream: UK to fund 11 green hydrogen projects
The UK government has confirmed new hydrogen plans, while RWE says it has secured construction and environmental permits to build a 100 MW electrolyzer in the Netherlands.
Battery storage drives revenue for solar arrays in high-demand areas
One to four hours of battery storage for a solar power facility can significantly increase site revenue in areas with high population density or abundant solar energy. However, the added value diminishes with storage capacities exceeding four hours.
As more buildings use heat pumps, four technologies can provide grid support
Wider use of electric heat pumps to heat buildings creates a larger market for renewable energy, but also presents challenges, which can be met through building insulation and weatherization, cold climate heat pumps, thermal energy storage systems, and higher-voltage distribution grids, a report says.
