By Jason Deign Lithium-ion’s potential to dominate the stationary storage battery sector may be stronger than previously thought, according to the implications of a new study. Research published last week by the analyst firm Bloomberg New…
Stanford University scientists have worked out that from an energy point of view it doesn’t make sense to store wind power in batteries. The energy cost of building the batteries is more than the value…
Corporations in the solar and energy storage sectors have long dreamed of combining the two technologies to differentiate products and defend margins. This match shows promise, yielding a USD$2.8bn market over the next five years,…
This article was previously published in Marine Renewable Energy. It seemed an innocent enough story at the time. We ran an article in which Sven Teske, director of Greenpeace International’s Renewable Energy Campaign, sounded a…
A week after the suggestion by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that offshore turbines could store their excess energy through an underwater pumped hydro mechanism comes the news that a wind institute will be considering…
Graphene has been cited as the saviour of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries for a while now. As an incredibly thin substance, it can massively increase the surface area of an electrode and thus increase the energy…
The New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology Consortium (NY-BEST) is holding a one-day forum on energy storage and microgrids at the Pace University New York City Campus, on June 11. The cost is USD$100…
