Battery energy storage systems (BESS) have gained a lot of attention in recent years as a potential solution to integrate renewable energy sources into the electricity grid. BESS have several key characteristics that determine their effectiveness and suitability for different applications. In this article, we will explore the important characteristics Read more…
Electricity grid operators are constantly looking for new ways to store energy at scale to better manage the balance between supply and demand. This is where battery energy storage systems (BESS) come in. As a reliable, flexible and efficient source of energy storage, BESS can provide a range of services Read more…
The Indian government recently announced its Battery Swapping Policy 2022, which outlines the regulations and requirements for implementing a battery swapping system for electric vehicles (EVs) in the country. The policy aims to encourage the adoption of EVs by addressing some of the major concerns of consumers, such as range Read more…
While there is a global move toward increasing the share of low-cost solar and wind electricity in the grid, there is a debate started to explore the impact of achieving a 100% renewable share in the grid. Though there are countries such as Norway, Costarica, Brazil, and Canada, that have Read more…
The Li Ion batteries have become integral part of our day to day applications ranging from mobile phones to the car batteries. majority of our Li Ion battery requirements are emerging from automobile segment. Typically India produce about 10.4 Mn two wheelers which are non EV and only about 7.5 Read more…
Safety aspects are becoming major hurdles in large scale deployment of EV and energy storage based on Li Ion battery chemistry.. Thermal runaway of these batteries are a common problem, which leads to cascading chemical reactions and significant amount of heat release, fire and toxic smoke. We have seen numerous Read more…
India had pledged to achieve net-zero carbon emission target by 2070 at the COP26 summit held Glasgow in late-2021. Since then the Govt. has been taking certain initiatives that would aid in overcoming certain glaring roadblocks which the country faces as it strives to progress towards its future goals. One Read more…
Tesla and PG&E recently broke ground on a record-setting energy storage system in Moss Landing (Monterey) California that, once complete, will be the largest such installation in the world. The battery park will be able to dispatch up to 730-megawatt hours (MWh) of energy to the electrical grid at a maximum rate of Read more…
MIT engineers have come up with a conceptual design for a system to store renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, and deliver that energy back into an electric grid on demand. The system may be designed to power a small city not just when the sun is up Read more…
