Why We Still Don’t Have Better Batteries Earlier this year, Ellen Williams, the director of ARPA-E, the U.S. Department of Energy’s advanced research program for alternative energy, made headlines when she told the Guardian newspaper that “We have reached some holy grails in batteries.” Despite very promising results from the 75-odd energy-storage research projects that … Continue reading Why We Still Don’t Have Better Batteries→
Behind the largest battery storage system in the US Plans for the largest battery-based storage system in the US were announced last week with storage firm AES Energy Storage set to build 37.5MW across two arrays for the utility San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) in California. Energy Storage News caught up with Brian Perusse, … Continue reading Behind the largest battery storage system in the US→
Battery technology drives electricity rule change Proponents who want to install and operate batteries will need to keep an eye out for more regulatory changes that may come from the AEMC Integration of Energy Storage review. The use of batteries is set to play a key role in the ongoing development of renewable energy generation, … Continue reading Battery technology drives electricity rule change→
Can Supercapacitors Surpass Batteries for Energy Storage? Advances in supercapacitors are delivering better-than-ever energy-storage options. In some cases, they can compete against more-popular batteries in a range of markets. A supercapacitor is a double-layer capacitor that has very high capacitance but low voltage limits. Supercapacitors store more electrical energy, rated in farads (F), at an … Continue reading Can #Supercapacitors Surpass Batteries for Energy Storage?→
UTSA, NRG Energy and Microsoft announce new flow battery research initiative The future of renewable energy will rely on many different kinds of technologies. But one technology is primed to play a bigger role. New research, announced yesterday at The University of Texas at San Antonio’s (UTSA) Texas Sustainable Energy Research Institute (TSERI) indicates that … Continue reading UTSA, #NRG Energy and #Microsoft announce new flow battery research initiative→
Blackouts looming, California speeds battery deployment after Aliso Canyon gas leak A new proposal shows how the gas shortage may accelerate storage’s integration into the bulk power system If there is a silver lining to California’s massive Aliso Canyon methane leak, it could be for energy storage projects. The leak has led to plans for … Continue reading Blackouts looming, California speeds battery deployment after Aliso Canyon gas leak→
Total’s Billion-Dollar Battery Acquisition Will Allow It to Compete With Tesla-SolarCity BOSTON, MA–(Marketwired – August 09, 2016) – Amid falling profits and long-term questions, global oil “supermajors” need to follow in the footsteps of Total — which recently bought energy storage company Saft for $1 billion — and explore opportunities not only in battery but … Continue reading #Total ‘s Billion-Dollar Battery Acquisition Will Allow It to Compete With #Tesla – #SolarCity→
Can Batteries Make Solar Work for Local Government? The town that delivers more solar power per customer than any other in the country used batteries to get the job done. Could the same model work for other small towns and counties? Going solar is hard. It took 40 years to reach 1 million solar array … Continue reading Can Batteries Make Solar Work for Local Government?→
