Comparing thermal runaway behavior of sodium-ion, lithium-ion batteries

1 week ago | ess-news.com | Marija Maisch

Researchers from Germany’s Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg have analyzed and compared the thermal runaway characteristics in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with layered oxide cathodes.
The silver lining of ERCOT’s supposed market saturation

1 week ago | ess-news.com | Marija Maisch

Texas’ crowded battery landscape means more developers competing for shrinking ancillary service margins. But, according to CEO Chris McKissack of storage-only IPP Fullmark Energy (formerly Hecate Grid), that might not be a bad thing. What looks like saturation in ERCOT or other ISOs, he said, is a sign that storage is actually working. “Markets like California and Texas are looking at the future of ancillary service saturation from battery storage projects,” he told ESS News.

Panama has no specific targets for installed PV capacity, said Panamanian Energy Secretary Juan Manuel Urriola. “Our energy goals are comprehensive and aim to meet demand in a safe, reliable, and competitive manner,” he told <b>pv magazine</b>, noting that the country aims for at least 20% of national consumption to come from renewable sources such as solar and wind by 2030. The goal rises to a 70% share of renewables in the electricity mix by 2050.
Italian startup releases 9.8 kWh sodium-ion battery for residential applications

1 week ago | ess-news.com | Marija Maisch

Italian startup Heiwit has developed a sodium-ion battery for residential use. Heiwit said the battery poses a lower fire risk, avoids materials with significant geopolitical concerns, and offers easier end-of-life recycling. “The overall cost is lower than lithium counterparts of equal capacity,” the company said in a statement. The system measures 700 mm x 480 mm x 170 mm and weighs 130 kg.
