Energy Storage

Elcogen and Convion have revealed test results for their new solid oxide electrolyzer, with an electrical efficiency above 85%. It could potentially facilitate the production of 39 kWh of electrical energy per kilogram of green hydrogen.

Researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) claim to have developed a technology that overcomes the recharging capabilities associated with aqueous zinc battery technology, potentially redefining energy storage for homes and grids.

Mitsubishi’s monobloc Hydrolution EZY can reportedly produce domestic hot water up to 60 C when outdoor temperatures reach -25 C. It is available in two versions, with outputs of 10 kW and 14 kW.

German manufacturer SAX Power says the capacity of its new all-in-one battery inverter solution ranges from 5.76 kWh to 17.28 kWh. It is suitable for new PV systems, as well as retrofit projects.

The Hamburg-based battery energy trading software and services company has raised €3 million ($3.27 million) seed funding to expand its software-driven trading services across Europe. The capital will be used to introduce its software, dubbed Autopilot, and its trading services to new European markets.

New research from Austria has compared different industrial heat-generating techniques and has found that wind or solar-powered heat pumps are the cheapest and most environment-friendly solution.

US demand for battery energy storage systems will grow sixfold by 2030, according to a recent report by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), but only with serious investment, coordination with experienced manufacturers, and collaboration with allies.

Third-party tests of GDI’s 100% silicon anodes show that they offer more than 30% energy density than graphite anodes, allowing for 15-minute rapid charging up to 80% state of charge (SOC) for hundreds of times back to back.

An international research group has developed a PV-driven liquid air energy storage (LAES) system for building applications. Simulations suggest that it could meet 89.72% of power demand, 51.96% of heating demand, and 11% of cooling demand in a PV-powered building.

China-based TAILG has revealed its new sodium-ion battery technology. The company’s luxury e-bikes will be the first to feature its sodium-ion batteries, and they will initially be available in China.
