A state government-owned energy corporation in Queensland, Australia, is looking to build a list of preferred suppliers of large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) technology.

Nidec ASI has been announced as a supplier to energy storage start-up Energy Vault, providing motors and inverters to the company.

Energy storage inverter and power conversion company DynaPower has delivered its first ever DC-to-DC converters to large-scale solar-plus-storage projects in the US, while Ideal Power has attained UL certification for two of its products.

Manufacturing equipment supplier Manz AG said 25% of its revenues for the first nine months of this year came from its energy storage segment, despite the ill effects of a large order being stopped.
