BESS operators should be planning their projects against different locational price and charging regimes of the future rather than solely against the current revenue opportunities.
Annual battery energy storage system (BESS) failures per-deployed-GWh declined 98% globally between 2018 and 2025, as installed BESS capacity grew exponentially.
AI data centres have energy and power requirements demanding enough to potentially stretch lithium-ion beyond its versatile limits, writes Intertek CEA market intelligence consultant Aaron Marks.
The first half of the year saw mixed results among China’s leading ESS suppliers, though generally the industry is still performing strongly, writes PV Tech ESS analyst Charlotte Gisbourne.
Hithium’s recent sodium-ion battery and BESS product launch is the latest in a long line of announcements showing an inflection point for the battery chemistry. But how do its new products compare to other sodium-ion systems out there, and to its own LFP offering?
Inaccurate state of charge (SOC) measurements can cost battery energy storage system (BESS) operators up to 15% in lost revenue, a persistent issue despite advances in monitoring technology.
South Africa’s government has put battery storage and power-to-gas technologies at the heart of the national long-term electricity supply and demand strategy.
Intilion has just tied up with CATL for sodium-ion BESS deployments in Europe, following Alfen’s similar move in July, while Merus Power tells us it is in the process of integrating with the OEM’s new product.
Finland is the Nordic region’s most-talked-about market for the moment, with project deals and other battery storage development activity from local and international players.
Electrifying low-temperature industrial heat and steam processes with renewables could reduce European Union natural gas consumption by 35 billion cubic metres-per-year, according to a report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
South Korea’s Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment (MCEE) has unveiled its KRW1,000 trillion (US$747 billion) Korean Green Transformation (K-GX) industrial strategy.
Infrastructure investor Actis has entered the Polish energy storage market with the acquisition of two large-scale projects from DTEK’s DRI, while R.Power and Solax have announced project updates in the country.
