Stanford University and Argonne National Laboratory will lead R&D efforts in emerging battery and energy storage technologies funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE).
A new research centre ‘uniquely equipped’ to evaluate energy storage technologies has opened at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Washington, US.
The installed cost of solar PV, solar-plus-storage and standalone battery energy storage in the US was reduced across all market segments between 2020 and 2021, with the biggest drop seen in the utility-scale segment.
