German EPC contractor Projekt Hoch 4 Energy GmbH has received SolaX battery storage equipment for a 5 MW/10 MWh standalone project in Mittelbiberach, Baden-Württemberg, southern Germany. The project is currently being connected to the grid. The two-hour installation uses SolaX’s…
Significantly more photovoltaic capacity could be connected to substations between medium- and high-voltage connections if battery storage systems absorbed peak generation, thereby improving the utilization of existing transformers. This is the conclusion of a short study conducted by the Fraunhofer…
Shortwave radios offer a way to connect one location on Earth to practically anywhere else with minimal infrastructure. But these radios come with some drawbacks—a significant one being that, unlike satellite communications, their transmission rates for digital data are typically…
The Finnish government is planning to implement a priority procedure for future electricity network connections. A proposed amendment to the country’s Electricity Market Act plans to introduce a new mechanism requiring network operators to apply a priority system when processing…
A US battery storage pilot sponsored by tech giant Google has demonstrated how batteries can capture surplus renewable energy and deliver it during hours with greater fossil generation.
The US energy storage industry is targeting 225GW/1TWh of storage deployment by the end of 2032, according to an analysis published by the Energy Storage Coalition (ESC).
French startup Battwoo is developing stationary battery energy storage systems (BESS) using repurposed electric vehicle batteries. The company aims to extend battery lifetimes from 15 to 30 years by giving EV batteries a second life that would otherwise be sent…
Poland’s grid-scale storage market has reached an impressive scale in the last few years, helped by the capacity market and various government schemes, but numerous challenges now need to be overcome.
System integrator Fluence and lithium-ion battery OEM Eve Energy have struck a massive 206GWh battery supply framework agreement for 2027-31, one of the largest deals of its kind ever announced.
German energy major RWE has made its final investment decision to build a 400 MW / 1.1 GWh battery storage system at the Moerdijk power station site in the Netherlands using its existing 150 kV substation at Moerdijk-Noord. The Moerdijk…
