Eos Energy Storage recently sold one of its new, low-cost zinc hybrid cathode (Znyth) battery systems to the energy giant GDF SUEZ, bringing the company’s pilot demonstration program one step forward — leading the way to the wider deployment of the product in the commercial landscape of Europe sometime in … [continued]
By Ryan Gilchrist With over 1.3 billion people still without electricity and many more lacking access to reliable power, expanding access to energy remains crucial. Overwhelmingly, remote islands have relied on expensive and “dirty” fossil fuels for their energy. While this technology has helped in bringing electricity to millions, it … [continued]
Shanghai Jiao Tong University and General Motors China have started a collaboration and joined in a quest for sustainable urban mobility. Shanghai Jiao Tong University hopes this project will result in a model that will be used to widely integrate small electric vehicles (EVs) with the transportation network. The coming program plans on strengthening … [continued]
As the spread of renewable energy generation continues and countries expand to allocate more resources to increasing the overall percentage of renewable energy generation capacity, more stability will be required to ensure that such technologies like wind and solar aren’t as reliant upon specific weather conditions. In line with this … [continued]
40 MW of new grid-scale energy storage projects are currently in development just outside of Chicago via Renewable Energy Systems Americas (RES Americas), as per recent reports. Once competed, these will be some of the largest commercial energy storage projects on the continent. The battery storage modules (based on lithium-iron … [continued]
The Texas-based utility company Oncor is looking to invest several billion dollars (at least) into energy storage systems to back up its transmission and distribution network, as per recent reports. But will the company be granted approval for such a stupendous and potentially industry-changing move? To be specific — Oncor … [continued]
Originally published on Planetsave. As I wrote a couple of weeks ago, as a percentage of total car sales, no auto manufacturer is selling more electric cars than BMW (not counting 100%-electric companies like Tesla Motors). The percentage (4.9%) is even more than double what Nissan has achieved this year … [continued]
The Canadian lithium-ion battery maker Electrovaya was recently presented with a $1.3-million grant, with the purpose of the grant being to aid the company in the production and delivery of multiple Intelligent Energy Storage Systems (IESS) to a number of different locations for Toronto Hydro and London Hydro. The grant is … [continued]
A company called Ice Energy, located in Glendale, CA, will be providing up to 25 MW of grid support to Southern California Edison in the form of water that is frozen at night when electricity is cheap. During a hot day, the ice is used for cooling in a rooftop … [continued]
The next breakthrough in grid capacity may combine the best features of ultracapacitors – greater speed and power – with the capacity of battery storage.
