Peak Energy president and CCO Cameron Dales speaks with Energy-Storage.news about the US startup’s plans for scaling sodium-ion battery storage and cell manufacturing, sodium-ion’s advantages, and the bankability of the technology.
The UK is in the middle of a massive overhaul of its queue system for connecting projects to the grid, and BESS is one of the most oversubscribed technologies, leading to a “nervousness” for a lot of projects, law firm Freeths said.
Vanadium flow batteries could be a workable alternative to lithium-ion for a growing number of grid-scale energy storage use cases, say Matt Harper and Joe Worthington from Invinity Energy Systems.
The US battery storage market is in a rapid growth phase and becoming increasingly competitive, creating an increasing need for sophisticated technologies and a deeper understanding of markets.
We get the reaction from other BESS suppliers, consultancies, research firms, optimisers, investors and IPPs to BYD launching a BESS using sodium-ion battery cells, a technology many see as a potential competitor to lithium-ion.
