Li-ion battery costs to fall 50% in next 5 years, driven by renewables Capital costs for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are expected to come down by around 50% over the next five years, as a result of increased renewables generation, among other factors, finds Lazard in a new study looking at the levelised cost of storage … Continue reading Li-ion battery costs to fall 50% in next 5 years, driven by renewables
Top 5 Developments Enabling Shift to 100 Percent Renewable Energy A growing number of companies, cities, states and countries are aiming for, and achieving, a goal of obtaining power from 50 percent, 75 percent or even 100 percent renewable energy, thanks, in part, to a set of major developments that are enabling the resource shift, … Continue reading Top 5 Developments Enabling Shift to 100 Percent Renewable Energy
Daimler is reusing electric vehicle batteries to store renewable energy The company says its stationary storage unit will come online in early 2016. When electric vehicle batteries get long in the tooth, they have to be replaced because they’ll start experiencing power loss—which will mean reduced vehicle performance. But what happens to those old batteries … Continue reading Daimler is reusing electric vehicle batteries to store renewable energy
“Unthinkable” Energy Storage Combo Leverages Fool’s Gold The energy storage field could be in for a transformation if a team of researchers from Switzerland is on the right track. They’re hot on the trail of a battery deploying the humble crystalline material fool’s gold — aka iron pyrite — with the aim of pulling off … Continue reading “Unthinkable” Energy Storage Combo Leverages Fool’s Gold
6 reasons to love battery storage now Despite rapidly dropping costs, the economics of battery storage are often cast in future terms. A new report from the Rocky Mountain Institute, however, outlines the ways in which battery storage is already cost-effective and why it should be embraced now. Utility executive should be at least somewhat … Continue reading 6 reasons to love battery storage now
Will Ultracapacitors Overtake Batteries in the Energy-Storage Race? he short answer to the headline’s question is probably not. Perhaps this isn’t the answer you were expecting from the CEO of an ultracapacitor manufacturer. However, ultracapacitors and batteries are different technologies with different benefits for different applications. The idea a battle exists between the two is … Continue reading Will #Ultracapacitors Overtake Batteries in the Energy Storage Race?
Flow Battery Could Smooth Irregular Wind and Solar Energy Supply Scientists in the US have developed an alkaline flow battery that they hope will help to tackle the tricky problem of storing energy from renewable power sources such as wind and solar. The new battery’s performance is similar to current commercial flow batteries but uses … Continue reading #Flow _Battery Could Smooth Irregular Wind and Solar Energy Supply
Beyond batteries: The diverse technologies vying for the bulk storage market Batteries are hot, but utilities looking to store a lot of power may find cheaper options elsewhere l the talk in the electric utility industry these days seems to be about battery storage, but there are other ways to save generated electricity for later. … Continue reading Beyond batteries: The diverse technologies vying for the bulk storage market
