Anker launches new all-in-one home storage solution
Anker has developed a new all-in-one home storage solution with up to 30 kWh of capacity, available in single-phase and three-phase configurations.
India’s battery storage capacity hits 219.1 MWh
India’s installed battery storage capacity reached 219.1 MWh at the end of March 2024. A recent Mercom report predicts that the nation will add 1.6 GWh of standalone battery storage and 9.7 GW of renewable projects with storage by 2027.
Photovoltaics for cold climate data centers
A Japanese-Finnish research group has assessed the levelized cost of energy of solar power plants supplying electricity to data centers in cold climates and has found that PV electricity could be considerably cheaper than grid electricity, even if used with battery storage.
World’s first anode-free sodium solid-state battery
Researchers in the U.S. have created a new sodium battery architecture with stable cycling for several hundred cycles, which could serve as a future direction to enable low-cost, high-energy-density and fast-charging batteries.
Engie breaks ground on 800 MWh battery in Belgium
Once completed, the four-hour battery energy storage project will operate under a 15-year contract with Elia, Belgium’s electricity grid operator, and be located next to Engie’s gas power plant in Vilvoorde.
Global energy storage fleet to surpass 1 TW/3 TWh by 2033, WoodMac says
According to the latest forecast from Wood Mackenzie, the global energy storage market (excluding pumped hydro) is on track to reach 159 GW/358 GWh by the of 2024 and grow by more than 600% by 2033, with nearly 1 TW of new capacity expected to come online.
320MW/640MWh battery to complement compressed air storage project in the Netherlands
The battery development should monetise excess grid capacity and complement the 320 MW compressed air energy storage project developed by Groningen-based long duration energy storage specialist Corre Energy.
Cegasa presents new modular, scalable battery for C&I applications
The new EScal HV offers installations of between 17 kWh and 350 kWh using a stackable system that allows up to 15 modules to be placed in series, and four strings in parallel.
World’s first grid-scale, semi-solid-state energy storage project goes online
The 100 MW/200 MWh energy storage project featuring lithium iron phosphate (LFP) solid-liquid hybrid cells was connected to the grid near Longquan, Zhejiang Province, China.
How to make seaports into energy communities with PV, wave energy
Researchers have simulated the operation of seven renewable energy communities in the Port of Naples and found them to offer lower life cycle costs. Using varying capacities of solar and wave energy, they were able to optimize the system to a 90% self-consumption rate. They also offered a scheme for the management of a port energy community.
