Xcel Energy has released the preliminary results from its wind-to-battery (W2B) storage project in Minnesota, and termed the technology successful. We have proved that this technology can perform the functions of storage that we were looking for to help us manage the variability of wind energy on our operating system.

Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have devised an alloying strategy that enables sodium-beta batteries to operate at significantly lower temperatures. The new electrode enables sodium-beta batteries to last longer, helps streamline their manufacturing process and reduces the risk of accidental fire.

Researchers in South Korea have developed a novel high-energy cathode material, Na 1.5 F 0.7 , for sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries (NIBs). This new material provides an energy density of 600 Wh kg –1 , the highest value among Na-ion cathodes. Ragone plot for the new Na 1.5 cathode and other cathode materials for NIBs.

As the pressure to decarbonize electricity grids mounts, so does the need to have long-term storage options for power generated from renewables. Especially for sources like wind and solar, which have discontinuous availability. An important one, Sprenkle adds, is understanding the value of that stored energy. “A

Other batteries are coming from battery energy storage systems. Grid stabilization, solar arrays, wind farms, and even home energy storage systems—some of those are coming offline and already going to their second set of batteries. We’re a little behind in that part, but we have passed the IRA recently.
