BESS with up to 4-hour duration helping to meet summer peaks, but long-duration energy storage may be key to managing winter demand.

Enervenue, the US company commercialising technology adapted from nickel-hydrogen batteries used in space exploration, has signed a three-year Master Supply Agreement (MSA) with a customer in Brazil.

Cumulative energy storage installations will go beyond the terawatt-hour mark globally before 2030 excluding pumped hydro, with lithium-ion batteries providing most of that capacity, according to new forecasts.

Lessons will be learned from an overheating incident at a thermal energy storage demonstration unit to which fire crews were called, the company behind the technology has said.

The US Department of Defense Defense Innovation Unit will try out ‘prototype advanced energy systems’ based around LDES technologies.

Round-trip efficiency of alternative storage technologies is the standout metric for assessing their potential versus lithium-ion.
