Type Description Lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) The battery consists of a cobalt oxide cathode and a graphite carbon anode. The cathode has a layered structure. During discharge, lithium ions move from the anode to the cathode. The flow reverses on charge. The drawback of Li–cobalt batteries is their relatively short Read more…
Key Factors Affecting the Viability of Battery Energy Storage System Projects Factor Impact on Project Viability Cost of storage Battery costs, while falling, are still the most significant driver of project viability. Costs depend on the MW/MWh ratio of the battery. The terminal value at the end of the project’s Read more…
Net metering is the mechanism that allows distribution companies monitor the user’s energy production and consumption. This mechanism also allows consumers who generate some or all of their own electricity to use that electricity anytime, instead of when it is generated. For an instance, consider a prosumer is generating and Read more…

There are standards everywhere. Most of the time we don’t even notice them. We may hear talking about a “standard bed”, a “standard size photograph” or “standard time”, but that’s about it. There are certain standards set by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for all Read more…
