RayGen, a startup developing long-duration energy storage (LDES) technology designed for pairing with renewable energy installations, has raised investment to kick off a Series D funding round.

Natron Energy could supply sodium-ion battery storage to a novel ‘integrated hybrid generator’ project in Queensland, Australia.

Novel project in development in Australia combining CSP, molten silicon thermal storage, solar PV and grid-scale BESS appears to be revived.

A 1,200 hectare site in South Australia has been secured by a developer hoping to use it to build a 300MW solar power site with 3.6GWh of energy storage, based on a novel technology solution. 

Construction is set to begin in Australia on a grid-scale power generation and long-duration energy storage project combining solar power and thermal energy storage, after the company behind the project said this morning that funding has been secured.

Update 11 December 2020: Azelio got in touch with Energy-Storage.news to explain the scope of the project, the system order size and its application.

“The elimination of solar energy’s intermittency and ensuring its 24-hour availability at grid-competitive cost is the holy grail and RayGen has found it”.

Back on home turf this week: news in brief from around the world in energy storage.

SaltX Technology and CSP and integrated energy systems provider Aalborg CSP have signed off on a non-exclusive joint development agreement to develop and commercialise an integrated energy storage solution for Concentrated Solar Power.
