Making battery energy storage an integral part of ‘Net-Zero’ – ET Auto

Baua Electric

As the global hunger for renewable energy (RE) increases, battery energy storage ( BES ) systems are expected to become omnipresent. From the perspective of front-of-the-meter (FTM) customers like RE developers and utilities, long duration BES systems can store intermittent RE when solar, wind, tidal energies are available.

MIT team improves liquid metal batteries for grid-scale storage; lower operating temperature, cost

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT have improved a proposed liquid battery system that could enable renewable energy sources to compete with conventional power plants. The original system, which used magnesium for one of the battery’s electrodes and antimony for the other, required an operating temperature of 700 ?C. Earlier post.). Earlier post.).
