Solar Energy Storage and Battery News

A EUR15.2 million power-to-X-to-power hydrogen storage center is being planned in Saillat-sur-Vienne, in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The project partners want to utilize renewable energy from the grid and water to produce and save electrolyzed hydrogen. It would then be blended with gas to power an updated, 12 MW Siemens SGT-400 industrial gas turbine which previously created vapor for neighborhood production as well as would have the ability to return power to the grid to satisfy need.

The ACT government reckons there's a space in between the family battery and also grid-scale batteries: community batteries, either owned by or at the very least offering the needs of collectives of homes.

Portsmouth International Port (PIP) has announced it will certainly pilot a brand-new wise power system that includes an unique power storage space service.

The sustainable lithium-ion battery producer wishes to secure raw materials to reuse right into its items and also will certainly tap among the globe's most innovative electrical lorry markets for its end-of-life batteries.

Longroad Energy has been picked by the Hawaiian Electric Company to begin establishing two utility-scale solar as well as battery storage space jobs in Hawaii

The German-headquartered project designer has actually authorized a handle Pacific Power's subsidiary Agreement Power to construct a crossbreed renewable resource task that will power the community of Esperance.

The UK government has green lit what stands to be the nation's biggest solar ranch, a 350MW project by the south east shore.

Cleve Hill Solar Park, set to be the biggest in the UK, has actually been granted growth authorization by the power assistant.

As electrical vehicles swiftly grow in popularity worldwide, there will certainly soon be a wave of used batteries whose performance is no more sufficient for vehicles that need reliable velocity and array. But a new research shows that these batteries could still have a beneficial and also rewarding second life as backup storage space for grid-scale solar photovoltaic or pv setups, where they might carry out for greater than a decade in this much less requiring function.

The French oil as well as gas firm will certainly create the lorry with design compatriot Gaussin. Meant for the Airbus commercial website in Toulouse, the lorry will certainly be geared up with a lithium-ion battery made by Total subsidiary Saft as well as will certainly have the ability to tow 2 30-ton gas storage tanks.

According to the Czech Solar Association, the relocation versus solar will likely cause defaults for hundreds of PV projects. The Czech federal government additionally prepares to construct even more nuclear reactor and also has actually pledged to prolong the life expectancy of its coal-fired plants.

The start-up asserts to be "the globe's leading distributor of graphene" and also prepares to launch a non-flammable, eco-friendly lithium battery that can bill "18 times faster than anything that is presently readily available on the marketplace"-- within the following year.

The Swedish storage space system maker claimed its Voltpack Mobile System can be made use of in various market sectors, especially for weak or remote grids. The battery has a scalable storage space capability varying from 245 kWh to 1,225 kWh. Swedish utility Vattenfall is currently examining the system's abilities.

French international electrical utility Engie stated that its project has actually been chosen by the US-based Hawaiian Electric as one of the 16 in the last honor team for the stage 2 variable sustainable dispatchable generation and also power storage space projects.

The Greek power regulatory authority stated on Wednesday that it intends to tender approximately 482 MW of brand-new solar ability on July 27 for plants approximately 20 MW in dimension.
