6 practical steps to improve community safety near lithium-ion energy storage systems As the lithium-ion battery energy storage system (ESS) industry grows and demand for renewable energy increases, ESS facilities will likely continue to proliferate in communities and urban areas around the world, providing multiple benefits, along with some risks. Lithium-ion batteries are generally very … Continue reading 6 practical steps to improve community safety near lithium-ion energy storage systems→
“Melting choc chip” blocks could stack up as grid-scale energy storage Engineers from the University of Newcastle have come up with a surprisingly simple new energy storage system, built around blocks that store thermal energy like melted chocolate chips in a muffin. The team says they’re efficient, scalable, safe, inexpensive, and can be used in … Continue reading “Melting choc chip” blocks could stack up as grid-scale energy storage→
Hawaiian Electric Seeks PUC approval for Maui Energy Storage Project Hawaiian Electric is seeking approval from the Public Utilities Commission for a self-build battery energy storage system on Maui. The company is proposing a 40-megawatt, 16-MWh battery storage system on approximately 1.8 acres at a company-owned site near the Central Maui landfill. The battery would … Continue reading #Hawaiian_Electric Seeks PUC approval for #Maui Energy Storage Project→
Electric-Car Startup Lucid to Follow Tesla Into Energy Storage Lucid Motors Inc., the electric-vehicle startup that has yet to build a production car, is following Tesla Inc.’s footsteps into the energy-storage business. The Newark, California-based company is developing home batteries — similar to Tesla’s Powerwall — and utility-scale devices, Chief Executive Officer Peter Rawlinson said … Continue reading Electric-Car Startup #Lucid to Follow Tesla Into Energy Storage→
FERC Order May Undermine Renewables, Energy Storage in New York’s Capacity Markets The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has rejected the latest proposal from New York’s grid operator to allow renewable energy and batteries to compete against fossil fuels in its wholesale capacity market. That may give the state’s regulators and policymakers more reason to consider … Continue reading FERC Order May Undermine Renewables, Energy Storage in New York’s Capacity Markets→
Rooftop Solar And Energy Storage Units Could Help During Emergency Blackouts More than 2,000 people were still without power Wednesday in San Diego County’s backcountry, due to the Valley Fire. Thousands more San Diego Gas and Electric customers experienced power blackouts last week due to grid overloads because of the record breaking heat spell. With … Continue reading Rooftop Solar And Energy Storage Units Could Help During Emergency Blackouts→
Interconnection queues across the US are loaded with gigawatts of solar, wind and storage If you want a glimpse of the future of the clean energy transition in the United States, a good place to start is Texas — specifically, the state’s interconnection queue, where solar, wind and storage dominate the list of projects applying … Continue reading Interconnection queues across the US are loaded with gigawatts of solar, wind and storage→
NYISO allows full participation for energy storage in wholesale power markets Energy storage resource participation in wholesale as well as retail markets will help New York State realize the goals of its Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act goals, Dewey said. “NYISO is blazing the trail for dual-use of storage in wholesale and retail service,” … Continue reading NYISO allows full participation for energy storage in wholesale power markets→
Cook Islands Boosts Microgrid Capabilities with Storage Rarotonga, the remote South Pacific island that is part of the Cook Islands, plans to boost its microgrid capabilities with new energy storage capacity. Under the terms of a deal signed with New Zealand’s Vector Powersmart, Rolls-Royce company MTU will supply three containerized battery storage units. The MTU … Continue reading Cook Islands Boosts Microgrid Capabilities with Storage→
Construction begins on energy storage system relying on gravity Gravity has been the center of wonderment for physicists, mathematicians and thinkers of all kinds for centuries. In the early 1600s, astronomer Galileo dropped balls from the Tower of Pisa and declared that gravitational acceleration is the same for all objects. Decades later, Isaac Newton expanded … Continue reading Construction begins on energy storage system relying on gravity→
