In 2010, a pair of MIT materials scientists helped launch 24M, promising to deliver cheaper, better batteries by stripping out inactive materials in the electrodes. Eight years later, you still can’t buy the startup’s products. But in an interview last week, chief executive Rick Feldt said the “semisolid” lithium-ion batteries built in…

New York state regulators yesterday approved energy storage goals of 1,500 MW by 2025 and 3,000 MW by 2030, plus a strategy to reach them, including a $310 million incentive program. The commission has been considering its energy strategy for several months and collecting recommendations from industry players that ranged from accelerating microgrids to supplementing…

Energy storage is expected to become an increasingly viable option to meet changes in load, which will play a critical role in the structure and operation of the power grid December 6, 2018 – Boulder, CO – A new report from Navigant Research tracks global energy storage projects, providing data…

Argonaut Power (Argonaut), Ingenious’ flexible energy platform, has today announced that it has partnered with Northumbrian Water (NWL) to pilot the use of large scale battery storage at a number of the utility’s sites across the North East, Essex and Suffolk. The announcement puts Argonaut at the forefront of storage…

Pforzheim/Munich, December 5, 2018: From clean electricity and heat generation to storage to distribution, innovative solutions and projects are honored each year with the prestigious energy industry prizes The smarter E AWARD, Intersolar AWARD and ees AWARD. Start-ups, established companies, institutions and project owners are invited to submit their entries…

Inverters are increasingly becoming digital all-rounders, facilitating new applications and business models in the areas of self-consumption, storage, smart homes, power-to-heat, e-mobility and grid services. One current trend is for digital platforms. Driven by digitalization, innovation cycles for inverters are becoming ever shorter. Integrated communication packages with wifi, energy management…

Thanks to digitalization, small decentralized power plants can be combined intelligently into larger units. Just like large-scale power plants, they can aggregate the electricity generated and feed it into the grid in a controlled manner. These virtual power plants are becoming an important building block of the renewable energy supply.…

Munich, November 7, 2018: The solar market is thriving, and demand for batteries is also rising steadily. Market researchers have predicted photovoltaics (PV) deployment of roughly 100 gigawatts (GW) for 2018. At the same time, the global market for batteries and fuel cells is already worth 5.5 billion euros and…
