The zinc-hydrogen storage system should be able to be produced at a tenth of the cost of lithium batteries and feed hydrogen into the energy cycle on demand, say Fraunhofer IZM researchers. Initial laboratory tests have been very successful.
The battery manufacturer says it is seeing the first positive developments from its restructuring measures. However, due to rising demand, Varta expects stronger business in the second half of the year - and more sales in 2024.
The project developer Goldbeck Solar is building a solar park with storage in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania near an airfield. The 32 megawatts of capacity will supply around 10,000 households.
The project pipeline is expected to further increase to 20 gigawatts by 2025. Most of these are solar plants. However, Q Energy also wants to expand its share of storage and enter the hydrogen market.
The Norwegian energy company Statkraft has been awarded the contract for a combined project in an innovation tender by the German Federal Network Agency. The solar project in the municipality of Zerbst in Saxony-Anhalt has an output of 47 megawatts, while the battery storage system has a capacity of 16 megawatt hours.
The Chinese manufacturer Growatt presents new products. Among them are a hybrid (battery-ready) inverter and a 650-volt high-voltage storage unit.
The company Liontron is expanding its portfolio of lithium iron phosphate batteries with the new and larger LX48-100 model with 5.1 kilowatt hours.
In the Amalis 2.0 project, researchers are working on innovative lithium-air batteries. These can theoretically store ten times as much energy as conventional lithium batteries for the same weight. However, chemically stable electrolyte fluids are still lacking.
Hamburg-based photovoltaic developer Enerparc AG has grid-connected its first hybrid project, consisting of a photovoltaic system and battery storage, in northern Germany.
Growatt will participate in the first edition of Volta-X, the new international energy trade fair in Stuttgart. From 28 to 30 March 2023, Growatt will present innovative and smart energy technologies.
The rapidly growing market of EVs must be supported by charging infrastructure in public and residential settings in order to fully embrace the transition to fully renewable electric vehicle charging in line with ambitious climate goals.
Driven by the company’s vision of “Clean power for all” and...
The energy transition is more than a political project; it can only succeed as a joint social effort. This is emphasized by Dirk Kaisers, Segment Leader Distributed Energy EMEA at Eaton, in a guest article.
According to an analysis of DNV Energy industry leaders see an urgent need for greater investment in power grids to better connect regions, secure reliable distribution of resources and meet climate targets.
Enphase Energy's IQ Battery now supports solar systems with third-party string inverters.
Q Energy and the Dutch solar developer Tomorrow Energy have entered into an agreement to co-develop 21 solar projects in the Netherlands. The portfolio amounts to approximately 300 MW in total and is open for the potential integration of storage, agrivoltaics, and green hydrogen solutions.
The all-in-one (AIO) storage system with an integrated hybrid inverter from FoxESS consists of either a single-phase hybrid inverter (3/3.7/4.6 kilowatts) or three-phase hybrid inverter (5/6/8/10 kilowatts) and HV2600 modular high-voltage batteries.
Ingeteam is presenting its new Ingecon Sun FSK power station for photovoltaic plants and storage systems. It comes with a high power rating and operates at medium voltage.
RWE Renewables’ Hickory Park Solar project, a 195.5-megawatt (MWac) facility coupled with a 40 MW 2-hour battery storage system, located in Mitchell County, Georgia, is in operation.
So far, green hydrogen has mostly been discussed in connection with large-scale industrial applications. But with a modern energy system in a settlement in Switzerland, the Elektrizitätswerke des Kantons Zürich (EKZ) show that hydrogen is definitely also a part of the decentralised energy transition.
