CATL, the world’s largest lithium-ion OEM, has given more details around its new battery energy storage system (BESS) product, Tener, including how it claims to have achieved no degradation in the first five years of operation.

Battery storage thrives on energy market volatility meaning there will be good years and bad years, a panellist at Solar Media’s Renewable Energy Revenues Summit 2024 said last week.

Utility EWS AG and developer MW Storage have completed the expansion of a battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Switzerland from 20MW to 28MW, making it the country’s largest.

Lithium-ion battery OEM CATL’s claim that its latest BESS product has no degradation for the first five years of use has provoked much discussion across the industry, with some sceptical of its merits.

As storage plays an increasingly central role in the energy transition, so too is the importance of managing battery degradation. Giriraj Rathore of battery storage system integrator Wärtsilä Energy Storage & Optimisation explores some of the main strategies for successful battery augmentation, a key means of offsetting the impacts of system degradation.

Energy storage system integrators are critical to the successful delivery and commissioning of a battery energy storage system (BESS) project, but they are perhaps also best-placed to service the asset once its in operation, argues Ray Saka of IHI Terrasun.
