The Gridbeyond platform will offer the prediction of energy price to make strategic charging and discharging possible, and the AI possibilities will optimize the performance of ABB’s BESS-A-A-Service assets. Image: Triodos. Gridbeyond and electrification technology company ABB ‘deepened’ their strategic partnership to deliver ABB’s BESS-A-A-Service offer. ABB has made a strategic investment in Gridbeyond, which in 2024 offers intelligent energy management solutions, whereby the partnership between the two companies was launched. Together they offer a fully managed energy storage service to commercial and industrial (C&I) customers worldwide. The flagship product of Gridbeyond is managed battery-as-a-service (MBAAS), which makes external management,…
Based on the heat pump-organic Rankine cycle, scientists in Portugal have made six different models of Carnot batteries for stationary storage. They investigated 16 different combinations of working liquids and created a multi-objective optimization for the best candidate. May 23, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from Portugal’s University of Coimbra have designed various versions of heat pump-organic Rankine cycle-based Carnot batteries (CBS). Carnot are batteries Systems that store electricity in the form of heat by storage media such as water or melted salt and transform the heat back to electricity when needed. This category includes Systems Laes systems (LAES) Systems) and…
A committee in the California State Assembly has assumed a bill that the net reimbursement of a solar pric owner can get rid of when a home is transferred. The Assembly Credits Committee has passed Assembly Bill 942Dericated by Assembly member Lisa Calderon (D), which in his last iteration would break an existing net meter agreement with a utility if that ownership was sold to another party. “The 20-year-old net measurement conditions, who signs every signs of the solar user, are connected to the solar system not the owner of the real estate. The undermining of these similarities when a…
This is the tenth Bess project for which Apurura has received the planning state in the last 17 months. Image: Apurura. Specialist of energy storage Apurura has successfully protected the building permit for a new 100 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in North Ayrshire, Scotland. The Kilwinning Bess is half a kilometer northeast of the city of Kilwinning on an eight-hectare site and marks the tenth BESS project for which the company has received permission from the planning in the last 17 months. With this development, Apatura now has a permission Bess portfolio of more than 1.6 GW. The…
The European Union has introduced secondary legislation under the Net-Zero Industry to support the production of solar energy. Member States must perform the new rules from 2026. May 23, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Under the Net-Zero Industry ACT, the European Commission has issued secondary legislation to help Europe produce at least 40% of its annual implementation needs for strategic technologies, including PV modules, batteries and heat pumps. “These rules clarify which production projects can benefit by specifically Provisions in the law, such as the permit, strategic project status and on non-prize criteria”The committee said in a statement.” Today’s law clarifies the…
Flexbase Group broke the land on an 800 MW/1.6 GWH Redox Flow Battery Project in Laufenburg, Switzerland, in what could become one of Europe’s largest power storage systems. The multi-use site integrates storage in the field of utilities, an AI data center and district heating. May 23, 2025 Sandra Enkhardt By ESS News Flexbase Group has started building what could be from Europe’s largest flow battery storage installations, whereby the land is broken on an 800 MW/1.6 GWH Redox Flow System in Laufenburg, Switzerland. The project combines storage on utility scale with an AI data center and district heating network…
Allye Energy has launched two new battery storage systems that can offer 820 kW and 1.25 MW of power respectively. The systems combine up to 18 recycled EV batteries with mixed chemistry. May 23, 2025 Lior Kahana The Max1000 Image: Allye Energy By ESS News The VK Energy Storage Allye Energy, based in the UK, has announced two new Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for industrial applications. Dubbeds Max1000 and Max1500, the new systems have a storage capacity of 1 MWH and 1.5 MWh, Re. The MAX1000 is now available for order, with the MAX1500 launch in the summer of…
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (Nyserda) announced today $ 5 million is now available To support the technologies for energy storage in New York that can use and deliver stored energy to the New York electric grid. The initiative promotes the development of scalable energy storage with long -term and other advanced solutions for storing batteries that can help integrate existing energy sources into the grid to meet energy demand during peak times and to reduce dependence on the state of fossil fuels. “The possibilities created by innovative solutions for energy storage can deliver more safely…
Researchers in China have manufactured a Perovskiet-Topcon sun cell with a top perovskiet device using a self-assembled monolaag aimed at improved cell stability. The tandem cell achieved a high filling factor and a certified efficiency of 30.9%. May 23, 2025 Emiliano Bellini A group of researchers led by Zhejiang University in China has manufactured a perovskiet-top-tandem solar cell with an inverted perovskiet cell with a self-assembled monolaag (SAM) who is said to improve the thermal stability of the cell. Reverse perovskiet cells have a device structure that is known as “pin”, where hole-selective contact P is at the bottom of…
