Rapid advances in electric vehicles are pushing down battery costs. This infographic examines how utilities can unlock new value through battery storage.
Wholesale market rules are organized around legacy assets, which is restricting storage from selling all of its potential services.
The idea is that, with energy storage, you could squirrel away variable solar power and wind power for use when you need it, instead of using it only when the sun is out or the wind is blowing.
A renewables grid needs long term storage, and compressed air might be a better solution than pumped hydro.
We can’t teach you social grace, but we can give you some decent ice-breakers.
Decentralized energy policy made the U.S. a laboratory for all the ways to develop and use energy storage.
Batteries and hybrid renewables-plus-storage projects will be a massive grid resource. Transmission grids and energy markets will need to adapt.
The US Department of Energy is looking for new cutting edge, bulk energy storage technology to boot fossil fuels out of the power generation picture
The falling price of renewable energy is not the only disruptive change in the energy business: battery storage is altering the way utilities provide power.
Australia has no plan for managing disused mines but a company has a novel solution for producing renewable energy
Low cost energy storage is the key to the renewable energy future, but natural gas is throwing a giant global warming monkey wrench in the works
The Energy Dept. is looking for a few good science based facts to show that pumped hydro energy storage will funnel more wind and solar into the grid.
Push a heavy train up a hill when power is aplenty. Let it roll back down when electricity is needed. Simple as that, says the startup pursuing the unconventional idea.
Even without the benefit of long duration energy storage, the US grid is doing a great job of integrating wind and solar energy
Companies like Saft, Green Charge and Greensmith have relatively little in common with Stem, but their exits may still hold clues.
Who needs batteries when renewable energy can flow everywhere, whenever it’s needed?
The power industry is facing a nuclear power dilemma, according to a report published by The Union of Concerned Scientists. UCS assessed the economic viability and performance of nuclear power plants operating in the United States and concluded that the retirement of these plants will likely result in the adoption of coal and natural gas for baseload power generation, two energy sources that contribute to carbon dioxide emissions.
Small-scale, grid-connected energy storage solutions, or “community batteries," can have a viable business case, supporting the ongoing growth of
Dropping battery costs make the application more attractive. But water storage is still far more economic.
Co-locating wind and battery plants can help cut the cost of both.
