The Victorian Labor government has invited expressions of interest to set up their 20MW battery storage system poised to become the first grid-scale battery storage plant of its kind in Australia.
In the coming decade, the conventional large utilities in Australia are likely to become extinct if Sonnen, the leading German domestic battery provider gets its way.
A great milestone towards developing a next-gen, all solid state lithium-ion battery has been attained using a ceramic electrolyte made of garnet.
The future of battery storage looks promising given the impending increase in capacity to 250GW by 2030, according to the latest report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
Fairer tariffs can generate cost savings for customers as well as offer incentives to encourage households with solar + battery to transfer energy back into the grid during periods when the demand is high.
The island of Ta'u located more than 4,000 miles off the West Coast of the US in American Samoa. One of the largest challenges residents are faced with the is lack of reliable and affordable...
