Science safety leader UL has created a certification service for energy storage equipment subassemblies (ESES) to achieve UL 9540, allowing large storage assets to procure certified components when building systems.

Andy Lycett, Sungrow’s country manager for the UK and Ireland, on the trends that might shape the industry in the years to come. 

Energy storage system integrators are diversifying their procurement strategies to ease supply chain constraints.

Borrego has chosen Powin Energy as supplier of battery storage, with the pair signing an 800MWh supply agreement.

Analyst Oliver Forsyth from IHS Markit explains exactly how things are changing in BESS system integration.

Standalone storage, demand from commercial and industrial (C&I) customers and new types of grid services will increasingly help drive growth in energy storage in the coming years, but the future mix between battery-based and alternative storage types is still unclear.

Creating a wider ecosystem of services and software is essential for system integrators to stay ahead, according to Julian Jansen at Fluence.

Industry-watchers will closely follow how the recently completed acquisition of energy storage system integrator NEC ES by LG Energy Solution pans out.

FlexGen Power Systems has launched an electric vehicle charging solution combining its energy management system (EMS) platform and battery energy storage. 

LG Energy Solution, the battery technology arm of South Korea’s LG Group, has completed its acquisition of 100% ownership in battery energy storage system (BESS) integrator NEC ES.
