Energy storage system (ESS) executives from Northvolt and Fluence discussed the battery and battery storage manufacturing ecosystem in Europe in separate interviews whilst at the Energy Storage Summit Central Eastern Europe (CEE) recently.
Lessons will be learned from an overheating incident at a thermal energy storage demonstration unit to which fire crews were called, the company behind the technology has said.
“We think this is the first battery cell which is designed from the end users’ point of view, based on how they want to use it,” EVE Energy’s head of energy storage Steven Chen says.
Northvolt intends to use its vertical European supply chain to differentiate itself in a ‘fiercely competitive’ energy storage market, executives said.
Energy-Storage.news caught up with Yann Brandt, chief commercial officer (CCO) at FlexGen, the US system integrator with a strong focus on software through its Hybrid OS controls platform.
