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

DOE has opened a funding opportunity for work to address gaps or weaknesses in manufacturing of solid-state and flow battery technologies.

US National Laboratory leaders talk about the importance of the right kind of storage for the grid.

For the US to create a domestic energy storage industry that can compete globally, it needs to look beyond today’s dominant technologies.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has launched the construction of a research facility for exploring new energy storage technologies.

There is still plenty of educating decision-makers on storage’s place on the grid to do for US states to follow in the footsteps California and Texas.

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. 

Will Gorman from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory looks at the trend for battery storage to be directly paired with wind and solar.

Four flow battery manufacturing research and development (R&D) projects will each receive a share of US$17.9 million funding from the US Department of Energy (DoE).
