Sodium-ion may be increasingly competitive for projects where total lifecycle economics matter more than initial procurement cost alone, the CEO of HyperStrong told us after the system integrator signed a 60GWh supply and co-operation agreement with CATL.
We hear from industry sources about the significance of the CATL-HyperStrong sodium-ion BESS battery deal. Does it make a real turning point for the technology as an alternative to lithium-ion?
With CATL and HyperStrong’s 60GWh sodium-ion battery deal announcement yesterday, it’s an ideal time to look at the different sodium-ion cell chemistries and battery products available for BESS today.
We hear from Netherlands-based ‘distributed hybridisation’ sodium-ion BESS startup Moonwatt, as it announces its first project 18 months after being founded and around a year after executives introduced its tech and strategy to Energy-Storage.news.
Sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery energy storage system (BESS) startup Peak Energy has announced a multi-year phased agreement with developer Jupiter Power to supply up to 4.75GWh of Na-ion BESS.
Advances in sodium-ion battery energy storage systems come from Peak Energy in the US, deploying its sodium-ion system in Colorado, and Phenogy, deploying Europe’s largest sodium-ion system in Germany.
US sodium-ion battery firm Natron Energy has ceased trading, putting an end to its two domestic gigafactories. The news points to the challenges for battery chemistries hoping to compete with LFP, analysts told Energy-Storage.news.
Sodium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) startup Peak Energy has launched and shipped its first sodium-ion BESS to be deployed in a shared pilot with nine utility and independent power producers (IPPs).
More product announcement news from last week’s ees Europe trade show and expo in Munich, Germany, with Sunwoda, Hithium, Rept, Canadian Solar, Sungrow and Aeson Power revealing new BESS solutions.
