New sodium-ion battery for large-scale energy storage A viable sodium battery. Lithium-ion batteries are composed of materials such as cobalt and lithium, which are rare, expensive. With the growing demand for electricity storage, these materials will become harder to get and possibly more costly. Plus, Lithium-based batteries would also be problematic in meeting the tremendous … Continue reading New sodium-ion battery for large-scale energy storage
PG&E Keeps Adding Electrons To Energy Storage Plans California utilities are ahead of much of the world in the transition to clean technology. They have a lot more rooftop solar power on the grid than many places, and they’re led by progressive voters and politicians. There is no waffling on battery energy storage for these … Continue reading #PG&E Keeps Adding Electrons To Energy Storage Plans
Permitting utility-scale battery energy storage projects: lessons from California The increasing mandates and incentives for the rapid deployment of energy storage are resulting in a boom in the deployment of utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS). In the first installment of our series addressing best practices, challenges and opportunities in BESS deployment, we will look … Continue reading Permitting utility-scale battery energy storage projects: lessons from California
