The worldwide expansion of renewable energy and distributed energy production is also driving the development of stationary battery energy storage systems. TÜV SÜD’s new Renewable Energy Storage Systems (RESS) certificate now enables stakeholders to demonstrate the safety and performance of these systems and improves transparency in this high-growth market. “The…

In recent years, the number of patent applications for electrochemical energy storage technologies has soared. According to a study by the Technische Universität München (TUM), the largest volume of applications by far is submitted by developers of lithium batteries. The study offers a first differentiated analysis of which energy storage…

A team of researchers at Michigan State University has developed a new type of solar concentrator that when placed over a window creates solar energy while allowing people to actually see through the window. It is called a transparent luminescent solar concentrator and can be used on buildings, cell phones…
