The last few years have been good for systems based around Lithium-Ion batteries, particularly electric cars and home battery systems like the PowerBanx, with prices falling consistently year-on-year as demand and supply have risen. However, it looks like that is about to change, at least in the UK.
At Fuel Included we like safe batteries that offer performance and value for money, and that’s why we have bought the BYD B-Box into the fold.
There’s a broad consensus that the world will deploy more grid storage in the coming years than it does today, but few people agree on exactly how much more.Here’s a new prediction: Global lithium-ion battery deployments over the next five years will grow by 55 percent annually, according to a new report from GTM Research.In
The Vermont Lower Income Trust for Electricity have provided a $150,000 grant for 100 low-income electricity customers with significant need for reliable backup power due to health and mobility issues. In 2017, after Hurricane Irma hit Florida, a nursing home in Hollywood, Florida lost power and fourteen of their patients passed away. A medical examiner
Battery assets have been used in the UK’s Balancing Mechanism (BM) for the first time via a virtual power plant, marking the start of what could be a new era for energy storage business models in Britain.
Energy storage projects were under construction across four provinces of China, amounting to 340.5MW of new capacity during the first half of this year in the country, according to the China Energy Storage Alliance (CNESA).
In a recent blog post, Energy Storage Association (ESA) Vice President of Policy Jason Burwen argued that storage resources can help create a cleaner overall energy mix.
In order to meet its 2050 climate goals, the nation will have to reduce the amount of natural gas used for heating, however the electricity system will not be able to cope unless thermal storage technology is improved, Bloomberg reports.
First it was net metering that made rooftop solar systems appealing for home owners. Those solar panels would feed excess electricity back into the grid, generating cash for homeowners. The idea of paying people to generate electricity makes utility executives’ heads explode. It wasn’t long before they won concessions from public utility commissions that limited
Shifting to solar could help homeowners save a wedge on energy bills, and by adding a storage battery they’ll be able to benefit from renewables even when it’s cloudy
