Idaho Power has overcome a huge hurdle facing its plan to deploy a 200MW/800MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in the City of Boise by the end of next year.
Norway-based startup Elinor Batteries has launched a new product, the Orkan DC Block, which it claims will deliver 30% more energy density than existing products.
Virtual power plants (VPPs) are networks of small-scale, distributed energy resources, such as solar panels or batteries (and in some instances vehicles) which can together function as a single power plant, providing stability to the electric grid.
