You may have heard the claim that lithium-ion storage will only last 4 hours. It is often cited as support for other energy storage solutions. However, as an engineer …
Across the world, power downtime keeps going up. Power outages increased in frequency and were more widespread in 2016, affecting 33% more people, showing that we definitely need a solar storage solution.
German utility EWE plans to use salt caves to create a redox flow system that will be the largest battery in the world when completed in 2023.
Innovative energy storage developer Younicos has installed an intelligent energy storage system designed to facilitate better grid management around the town of Tussenhausen in Bavaria, Germany. The installation was carried out under the ‘Smart PowerFlow’ project, a partnership between Younicos, Bavarian grid operator LEW distribution GmbH (LVN), the Reiner Lemon … [continued]
As I just wrote, a one-week cleantech tour (and semi-vacation) in the Netherlands put my “link drop” articles on hold for a bit, but I was saving stories along the way. After a couple of weeks, below is a massive list of non-CleanTechnica renewable energy, energy storage, climate, and other green stories … [continued]
The commercial & industrial energy storage systems provider ViZn Energy Systems is partnering with the leasing & financial services company LFC Capital to make solar + energy storage more affordable for property owners, according to recent reports.
Wind power is one of our favorite topics. It’s often the cheapest option for new electricity generation, and it may well be the greenest. It is comparable to solar on greenhouse gas emissions, and uses even less water than solar (0.001 gallons per kWh vs 0.030 gallons per kWh), and … [continued]
By Byron Anderson Utility-scale energy storage is often discussed like it’s the flying car of renewable energy, but unlike the flying car, there is an immediate need and an eventual trillion-dollar global market to go along with it. After speaking with EnerVault’s new CEO, Ron Mosso; Temporal Power’s President and … [continued]
I recently had the opportunity to chat with the CFO and President of Zinc Air Inc., Craig Wilkins, as well as one of the company’s advisors, Greg Hayes. It was a very interesting discussion and it looks like Zinc Air Inc. has what could be a very promising grid storage technology, and … [continued]
A breakthrough has been made in the field of renewable energy battery storage. Researchers have developed a redox flow battery that reaches a stack power of up to 25 kW. This breakthrough in battery technology is important because it will allow the energy from intermittent sources of power, such as … [continued]
