GE’s Energy Storage business announced $63 million in new Durathon sodium-halide battery orders since the business launched in July. GE’s Durathon battery technology works by employing sodium chemistry to capture excess energy from the diesel fuel generators. Earlier post.) —Prescott Logan, General Manager, GE Energy Storage.
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have become the dominant new technology in grid storage, capturing a 90% share of systems proposed last year, according to analysts at Lux Research. Molten salt batteries—consisting almost entirely of sodium-sulfur (NaS)—account for 23% of all deployed MW and 64% of deployed MWh respectively.
The US Department of Energy is awarding $620 million for projects around the country to demonstrate advanced Smart Grid technologies and integrated systems. Smart grid regional demonstrations involving plug-in vehicles include (ranked by DOE funding): Columbus Southern Power Company (doing business as AEP Ohio).
In October 2008, Xcel began testing a one-megawatt sodium-sulfur (NaS) battery ( earlier post ) to demonstrate its ability to store wind energy and move it to the electricity grid when needed. Support the transmission grid system by providing voltage support, which contributes to system reliability.

According to a new report from Pike Research, worldwide installed revenues for stationary energy storage systems for the electricity grid will grow at a strong pace in the coming decade, increasing from $1.5 Worldwide installed revenue opportunity by energy storage on the grid (ESG) technology, 2010-2020.
Installed revenue by ESG technology, worldwide. In its new report Energy Storage on the Grid (ESG), Pike Research forecasts that global spending in the ESG market will reach a little over $22 billion over the next 10 years. Electric grids require balance in order to function properly. Click to enlarge. Earlier post.).
published in the ACS journal Chemical Reviews , reviews in detail four stationary storage systems considered the most promising candidates for electrochemical energy storage: vanadium redox flow; sodium-beta alumina membrane; lithium-ion; and lead-carbon batteries. In their study, Yang et al. flywheel) or potential energy (e.g.,
To help California mitigate its ever-growing wildfires, this year CalSEED has included companies that are innovating in technologies that will build wildfire resiliency into the grid. This novel technology would deliver safe, reliable, resilient, and cost-effective electric power in the grid.
Installed revenue by ess for ancillary services by technology, world markets: 2011-2021. Key technologies for these ancillary services include flywheels, pumped hydro storage, compressed air energy storage (CAES), and battery technologies such as lithium-ion, sodium sulfur (NaS), and advanced lead-acid batteries. billion by 2021.
A battery, based on electrodes made of sodium and nickel chloride and using thea new type of metal mesh membrane, could be used for grid-scale installations to make intermittent power sources such as wind and solar capable of delivering reliable baseload electricity. Al 2 O 3 membrane. Elliott Professor of Materials Chemistry.
In order to store electricity generated at night, windmill operators need to installsodium-sulfur battery systems, which are as costly as power generators. But they often are not interested in buying power produced at night because of weak demand.
was awarded a $28,401,000 credit to support the installation of equipment at a new manufacturing facility to produce biocatalysts (enzymes) used in manufacturing cellulosic ethanol from corn stover by the biochemical platform (biomass pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation, distillation).
Photo: China Southern Power Grid Energy Storage China’s first major sodium-ion battery energy storage station is now online, according to state-owned utility China Southern Power Grid Energy Storage. Plus, it’s free to use and you won’t get sales calls until you select an installer and you share your phone number with them.
That being said, the current Tesla Powerpack installation in the massive solar farm is quite small. The system features a sodium sulphur (NaS) energy solution, and it has a capacity of 1.2 Being a pilot project, the Tesla batteries only have a capacity of 1.21
The extent to which renewables should dominate Australia’s energy grids is a major issue in science and politics. To ensure reliable energy supplies, grids dominated by renewables need “firming” capacity: back-up technology that can supply electricity on demand. Sodium ions are bigger and heavier than lithium ions.

Planar Na-beta Batteries for Renewable Integration and Grid Applications. Eagle Picher, in partnership with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, will develop a new generation of high energy, low cost planar liquid sodium beta batteries for grid scale electrical power storage applications. Water (1 project). ENERGY STORAGE.
Most manufacturers provide battery warranties lasting seven or eight years, assuring consumers that EV batteries are expected to last. In recent years, alternative battery technologies, such as sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries, have emerged as potentially transformative. Trust in the EV network is on the rise.
When biogas is produced and used on-site in a fuel cell, fuel utilization or overall energy efficiency can reach 90% and can reduce emissions by more than 90% by weight as compared to the emissions associated with grid electricity generation. Reducing the projected cost of hydrogen production using renewable-based technologies—e.g.,
In the Indian context, the country’s commitment to ‘ net-zero ’ is evident through its ambitious targets of achieving 500 GW of clean energy installation capacity by 2030. This stored/banked power can be fully/partially released in the transmission grid when the time/price is appropriate. billion by 2029 as per Mordor Intelligence.
