The first energy storage asset built using Wärtsilä’s new Quantum High Energy battery energy storage system (BESS) solution will be a 300MW/600MWh project in Scotland, UK.
While more energy-dense BESS units mean packing more into smaller footprints, they may have additional implications for noise and fire safety, a developer source told Energy-Storage.news.
Energy density is becoming a key tool in optimising the economics of battery energy storage projects as suitable sites become harder to find. Ben Echeverria and Josh Tucker from engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm Burns & McDonnell explore some of the considerations of designing projects on constrained land.
The Q4 2023 edition of our downstream solar PV journal, PV Tech Power, is now available to download, leading with a focus on solar PV’s resilience against extreme weather.
Wärtsilä Energy has launched its newest battery energy storage system (BESS) solution for utility-scale applications, claiming that it comes with enhanced safety features and improved energy density.
Gigafactory company Northvolt and sodium-ion battery technology firm Altris have together revealed a battery with an energy density of 160Wh/kg, designed for energy storage systems.
Rimac Energy, the battery energy storage system (BESS) division of EV supercar company, has unveiled its new product at the Energy Storage Summit Central Eastern Europe (CEE).
