As RE Continues to Expand, India’s Battery Storage Market a Sleeping Giant: IEEFA Updated On Mon, May 10th, 2021 by Saurenergy Grid integration of large-scale variable renewables will be one of India’s biggest challenges as it aspires to decarbonise its power economy through deployment of 450 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy (RE) by 2030. Reaching this target from the current installed renewable capacity of 93 GW will require average annual renewable capacity additions of ~35 GW. […] Read more
Liverpool Uni Researchers Develop Stable Electrolyte for Li-O2 Batteries Updated On Sat, May 8th, 2021 by Saurenergy Researchers at the University of Liverpool, in partnership with Johnson Matthey PLC and Loughborough University, are working on developing stable and practical electrolytes for lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries (or lithium-air battery). They have advanced new theories on the subject, whose execution can create greater energy storage capacity than that offered by the conventional lithium-ion battery. In a […] Read more

Upgrading a Grid Connected PV System To An Energy Storage System Updated On Thu, Apr 22nd, 2021 by Saurenergy Even today, there is a widespread impression among many prospects that a solar system could mean grid independence. Unfortunately, by the time they actually understand the way most solar setups work, especially if you want the benefit of subsidies, they realise that the only way is a grid connected solar plant. However, that is changing. […] Read more
Global Grid Battery Storage Capacity will Likely Reach 134.6 GW by 2030: F&S Updated On Fri, Apr 16th, 2021 by Saurenergy As more nations commit to renewable energy, F&S predicts the global grid battery storage capacity to likely reach 134.6 GW by 2030. Frost & Sullivan’s (F&S) recent analysis on the global grid battery energy storage market finds that the continual expansion of intermittent renewables (RE) and declining technology costs are key factors fuelling the market. As more nations […] Read more
Batteries Better Than Gas at Meeting Australia’s Future Peaking Needs Updated On Thu, Apr 15th, 2021 by Saurenergy In September last year, the Scott Morrison-led Australian government had announced that it was setting a target for the electricity sector to reach final investment decisions by the end of April 2021, towards delivering 1000 MW of new dispatchable energy by summer 2023-24, so that the coal-fired Liddell power station could be closed down in […] Read more
UCR Scientists Upcycle PET Bottles to Make EV Batteries Updated On Wed, Apr 14th, 2021 by Saurenergy Could excess plastic waste be used to reduce carbon emissions? Sounds too good to be true? Well, researchers at the University of California, Riverside, have devised a way to turn polyethylene terephthalate (PET) found in consumer plastic bottles into material useful for producing sustainable energy storage. While the storage capacity of batteries made using this […] Read more
Statkraft Completes Second Irish Energy Storage Project Updated On Fri, Apr 9th, 2021 by Saurenergy The Norwegian utility entered a contract with EirGrid and has commenced providing reserves to the national electricity grid in the event of a sudden drop-off in supply. Statkraft Ireland Managing Director, Kevin O’Donovan said “we are delighted to have completed construction of our second battery project just one year after we energised Kilathmoy, the first […] Read more
