Solar Energy Storage and Battery News

Flow battery manufacturers typically go after energy scale storage projects but German start-up VoltStorage is targeting the house market.

The driver of a 50MW solar center in North Queensland in danger of curtailment anticipates the trouble to be solved in the following couple of weeks.

Australian scientists have actually recognized 7 methods to avoid PV losses when overvoltage-induced inverter disconnections happen. The techniques consist of battery storage space, responsive power inverters, export restrictions, distribution static synchronous compensators, the replacement of old conductors in power grids, load reconfiguration, as well as dynamic voltage repair.

CPS Energy has taken the initial step towards bringing those quantities-- plus 500 MW of firming capability-- to the Lone Star State in pursuit of the power firm's 50%- renewables-by-2040 objective.

Hydrogène de France as well as gas grid business Teréga plan to release a feasibility research for a 1.5 GWh pilot hydrogen storage space project in caves in the southwest of the country.

EDF has actually finished the signing of a 22-year PPA with NV Energy for a 200 MWac solar plus 180 MW, four-hour battery storage space system in Nevada.

Researchers at Germany's Karlsruher Institute of Technology are leading an investigation into a new lithium-ion battery anode. The advancement has a perovskite crystalline structure as well as, according to the scientists, can give solid overall efficiency from less complex, less costly manufacturing methods than those made use of for other anode products.

U.S.-based Mercy Corps has actually launched a call for expression of rate of interest in the setup of minigrids at three refugee camps on the boundary with Somalia.

The 182.5 MW/730 MWh Moss Landing power storage space system might eventually be expanded to 1.1 GWh-- putting it on the right track to eclipse Tesla's massive Hornsdale project in Australia.

Scientists have actually found a rare glassy steel that could aid scientists build extra effective batteries, according to a new research study published in the journal Nature Materials.

The rate tariff agreed by German business ABO Wind for two 10 MW solar projects in Igoumenitsa was available in a tender which alloted just 142 MW of generation ability, well except the hoped-for 482 MW. It is really hoped a slimline licensing process, to be used in the next purchase round, will address the problem.

The software program titan has actually started examining hydrogen fuel cells as a back-up source of power at one of its U.S. information centers. A 250 kW pilot system efficiently powered part of the center for 48 hrs as well as the business is currently eyeing 3 MW systems to change back-up diesel generators.
