Bavarian solar-plus-storage subsidy scheme launches today
A new subsidy scheme for residential solar-plus-storage installs is now live in Bavaria. The state in southern Germany will provide €500 (US$550) for a storage system of at least 3kWh and a further €100 (US$110) for each additional 1kWh up to a maximum of €3200 (US$3530). The storage system must be paired with a solar […]
New Technology Brightens Outlook of Lithium-ion Battery
A joint research team from Tianjin University and Tsinghua University has recently produced a lithium anode featuring air stability and water proof features; the lithium anode can significantly boost the energy density and specific energy of lithium-ion batteries, which makes it a better option than graphite anode. The breakthrough was achieved with a specially designed […]
Los Angeles County gas plant to be partially replaced by batteries and solar
An aging gas power plant in Glendale, California will soon be repowered by a combination of distributed solar, energy storage, and geothermal energy. Municipal utility Glendale Water & Power (GWP) received approval to move ahead with the project from Glendale City Council on July 23. Its original proposal, which consisted primarily of thermal generation and […]
Solar-charged vanadium flow machine pre-qualifies for UK’s frequency response market
‘Flow batteries’ could provide frequency response in the UK for the first time ever, as a modestly sized solar-plus-storage system has been pre-qualified into National Grid’s dynamic firm frequency response (dFFR) market. Last week energy storage technology provider and system integrator RedT – which prefers the description ‘flow machines’ for its vanadium redox flow, long […]
