Liam Critchley examines the modelling, safety standards and analytics that aim to mitigate the risk of thermal runaway in lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Solar-plus-storage projects are proliferating across the globe and necessitate a choice between DC and AC coupling. In this piece we look at the differences and pros and cons of each.
The transition to new energy technologies, including grid-scale and vehicle batteries, can help fossil-fuel-dependent countries improve their energy security.
Solar PV and wind are now the cheapest sources of power, with co-located hybrids increasingly delivering round-the-clock electricity at fossil fuel-competitive costs in high-resource regions, according to a new report by IRENA.
South Africa’s TSO Eskom and energy storage technology firm Energy Vault have partnered to deploy projects using the latter’s gravity-based technology.
After reporting a record 112GW of global non-pumped hydro energy storage installations in 2025, BloombergNEF (BNEF) expects to see a 41% increase this year.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) will provide project financing for large-scale solar and storage projects in Egypt and Hungary, for project owners HAU Energy/Infinity Power and Renalfa respectively.
