This Friday Briefing looks at the IEA’s recognition that long-duration energy storage will be essential to global decarbonisation and asks what it might take for that message to translate into immediate action.
Gas and geothermal plant developer and operator Calpine Corporation has closed a syndicated financing for what could be one of the largest battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in the US.
A frequency event which nearly caused major disruption of the electricity grid in Britain could have been more effectively dealt with had network dispatchers called on more of the country’s battery storage.
We bring you the energy storage technology predictions of Aquila Clean Energy EMEA, Kyon Energy and BayWa r.e, three major Europe-based developers and operators.
Energy-Storage.news learns about New York City’s first-ever vehicle-to-grid (V2G) pilot project, which is entering a second stage after a successful start to its operational life.
We hear from Chris Wickins, technical director at UK battery storage developer-operator Field about how grid interconnection and market mechanisms are developing in Europe’s most advanced energy storage market.
Energy density is becoming a key tool in optimising the economics of battery energy storage projects as suitable sites become harder to find. Ben Echeverria and Josh Tucker from engineering, procurement and construction firm Burns & McDonnell explore some of the considerations of designing projects on constrained land
We catch up John Diklev, founder and CEO of Sweden-based optimisation and virtual power plant (VPP) software company Flower, to discuss the Swedish market and beyond and his notion of ‘long-term optimisation’.
With storage playing an increasingly central role in the energy transition, the importance of managing battery degradation is coming to the fore. Giriraj Rathore of Wärtsilä Energy Storage & Optimisation explores some of the main strategies for successful battery augmentation as a means of offsetting the impacts of system degradation
