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
PV Tech Power Editor Andy Colthorpe speaks with John Leonti, head of the energy transactional practice at law firm Troutman Pepper, who reflects on the year since the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) passed, and considers what we might see going forward.
The Inflation Reduction Act brought a sense of confidence and certainty to the business of clean energy. Lawyers Adam Schurle and Morten Lund at Foley Lardner take a closer look at what that means for tax equity financing of energy storage, while exploring some of the questions still to be answered.
Ontario and Alberta account for the bulk of Canada’s installed, planned and proposed large-scale energy storage today. The rest of the country can lean on the experiences and lessons learned. Andy Colthorpe hears from developers and expert voices.
Energy storage assets are versatile, profitable low carbon resources that need the right conditions and guidance to deliver value from the very start of operation. How we look at commissioning can determine the outlook for the asset for a lifetime, write Dr Stephan Rohr, Sebastian Becker and Dr Mathias Simolka from TWAICE.
Alex Thornton, operations director at Harmony Energy, gives us a deep dive into the biggest battery storage project in Europe, including the bold decision to be an early-mover into 2-hour lithium-ion BESS, in a market of much shorter duration assets.
