Long-duration energy storage market to reach $223 billion in 20 years
Alternatives to lithium-ion batteries are likely to emerge, according to a report on IDTechEx.
Record-breaking Q3 for U.S. energy storage deployment
Wood Mackenzie/ACP report estimates that grid scale energy storage deployment increased by 37% quarter on quarter.
What happens when the sun doesn’t shine?
Solar power and wind energy depend on intermittent energy sources, and a team from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory looked at the frequency and duration of ‘energy droughts’ across the U.S. in order to help grid operators keep the energy flowing.
Long-duration storage and renewables can cut global industrial emissions by 65%
A recent report from the LDES Council finds industrial carbon emissions comprise around a quarter of annual global greenhouse gasses, and are growing by 2% every year.
Ramping up U.S. grid-scale energy storage
Four experts in grid-scale solar and energy storage share insights at the pv magazine Roundtables US 2023 live event.
Solar-plus-storage outperforms diesel in military survivability analysis
The NREL evaluation of solar plus Antora Energy storage system meets the U.S. Military’s exacting standards, revealing that these systems significantly outperform emergency diesel generators in survivability probabilities.
Form Energy’s solution for a fossil-free New England: $100 billion in savings
Form Energy’s modeling tools suggest that adding 23.4 GW of their long-duration energy strorage would drastically enhance the efficiency of wind and solar, lowering the curtailment of renewables by up to 83%, and reducing the region’s capacity of needed solar power by over 100 GW.
Critical roles emerging for long-duration energy storage
As more renewable energy comes online each year, the added flexibility and resiliency that energy storage provides has never been more critical—because our grid is not as stable as it needs to be.
Honeywell invests in ESS to advance adoption of iron flow battery energy storage
Honeywell purchased $27.5 million in ESS common stock and intends to purchase $300 million in ESS product, with $15 million prepaid. The collaboration enables Honeywell to integrate ESS technology into its global offering, and ESS gains license to Honeywell’s flow battery intellectual property.
