This article breaks down the game-changers: high-nickel ternary and LFP batteries (balancing power and safety like pros), solid-state batteries (the future stars fixing fire risks and energy density woes), liquid cooling systems (keeping batteries cooler than a summer breeze at the beach), AI-powered temperature algorithms (the “brainy thermostats” saving energy), multi-level fire/electrical safety (no more “uh-oh” moments), and AI-driven EMS (optimizing costs like a budget-savvy friend).
[pdf] In a recent presentation at the Electrochemical Society symposium, insights from a decade of vanadium flow battery development were shared, emphasizing the importance of testing at various scales, addressing safety and reliability issues early, and the challenges faced with the commercialization of mixed-acid electrolytes, particularly concerning chlorine gas generation during deployments.
[pdf] Meridian Energy has officially opened New Zealand's first large-scale grid battery storage system at Ruakākā, the first of its kind, and a milestone in the country's renewable energy infrastructure development.
