Wärtsilä’s new Quantum 2 containerised battery energy storage system (BESS) solution is aimed at meeting “customers’ varying needs,” the company has said.
The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) is funding trial deployments of two different non-lithium battery technologies at microgrids in Western Australia.
Sodium-ion battery technology could be the “perfect solution for applications where energy density is not paramount,” according to the chief executive of battery tech company BMZ Group.
System integrator Powin is working on a new grid-scale BESS product to compete with increasingly competitive product from China, senior VP Danny Lu told us, while also discussing its Waratah project in Australia and fire safety.
Energy-Storage.news Premium sits down with Helena Li, executive president at Trina Solar, to discuss the launch of Elementa 2, the group’s new integrated battery storage solution.
The first energy storage asset built using Wärtsilä’s new Quantum High Energy battery energy storage system (BESS) solution will be a 300MW/600MWh project in Scotland, UK.
While more energy-dense BESS units mean packing more into smaller footprints, they may have additional implications for noise and fire safety, a developer source told Energy-Storage.news.
Energy density is becoming a key tool in optimising the economics of battery energy storage projects as suitable sites become harder to find. Ben Echeverria and Josh Tucker from engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm Burns & McDonnell explore some of the considerations of designing projects on constrained land.
The Q4 2023 edition of our downstream solar PV journal, PV Tech Power, is now available to download, leading with a focus on solar PV’s resilience against extreme weather.
