Valentin Lorscheid and Dr. Kai-Philipp Kairies of ACCURE Battery Intelligence propose ways in which BESS warranties can be reformed as the industry matures.
Vanadium flow batteries could be a workable alternative to lithium-ion for a growing number of grid-scale energy storage use cases, say Matt Harper and Joe Worthington from Invinity Energy Systems.
New vanadium redox flow battery technology from Invinity Energy Systems makes it possible for renewables to replace conventional generation on the grid 24/7, the company has claimed.
The benefits of advances in cell technology, which improve the performance and lifetime of battery storage systems, can be directly passed onto customers.
CATL, the world’s largest lithium-ion OEM, has given more details around its new battery energy storage system (BESS) product, Tener, including how it claims to have achieved no degradation in the first five years of operation.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said that the company is already achieving “good margins” on the residential Powerwall product, but that “some additional work is needed” for its utility-scale Megapack to do so.
