Trina Storage has signed a letter of intent (LOI) to supply 1,500MWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) technology to developer Pacific Green.

This Friday briefing looks at the trend of long-duration energy storage (LDES) technology companies eyeing project development, the role Europe’s gigafactory projects play in the continent’s energy storage system (ESS) market, and the inherent challenges that come with vertical integration.

Sungrow tells Energy-Storage.news that it does not currently have plans to launch its own lithium-ion battery cell production for battery energy storage system (BESS) products, a route being taken by other China-based system integrators. 

Managing your battery energy storage system (BESS) supply chain is a complex issue with no easy fixes, according to leading developers, system integrators and investors.

Trina Storage is developing an energy management system (EMS) as a major strategic priority for its business.

Sungrow, EVE Energy Storage and Saft were amongst the big names exhibiting new battery energy storage products at RE+ in California last week.

Trina Storage has formed a partnership with solar inverter manufacturer Power Electronics to jointly deploy battery storage.

Trina Storage has completed the supply of its first UK battery energy storage system (BESS), the 50MW/56.2MWh fully integrated grid-scale battery energy storage system owned by SMS plc
