The rapid digitisation of energy infrastructure represents a big challenge, says Michael Hudson, cybersecurity strategy director at Sungrow North America.

Industry leaders warned that “unfettered optimism” regarding battery degradation is hitting a wall of operational reality.

The early life of a battery storage asset sets the stage for a lifetime of operational success, writes Cedric Brehaut, chief product officer at PowerUp.

In this Energy-Storage.news roundup, FlexGen updates its EMS, LandGate launches a BESS site selection tool, ON.energy and Shoals target AI data centres, and Sunrun has a successful season of dispatching energy with PG&E.

Energy storage developer and system integrator Energy Vault and sodium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) startup Peak Energy have announced a 1.5GWh strategic development agreement.

Software-focused battery energy storage system (BESS) integrator FlexGen has put two utility-scale BESS projects in operation in Wisconsin and Iowa, US, totalling 700MWh.

The development of data centres has emerged as a possible lifeline for ongoing projects in the battery energy storage system (BESS) industry.

The battery storage industry’s race for higher energy density should be put into a site-level perspective, rather than focusing solely on larger cells.

One of the world’s major players in solar PV is also becoming a well-known name in the energy storage system (ESS) space.

FlexGen Power Systems (FlexGen) has bid to take over rival US system integrator Powin during the latter’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
