TWS Technology Builds a Grid-connected C&I Energy Storage System for a Sewage Treatment Plant in the Netherlands, Empowering the Municipal Low-carbon Transition
The energy storage system adopts an on-site installation-free integrated delivery model. It innovatively uses a pre-assembled, modular plug-and-play design, eliminating the need for foundation construction and flexibly adapting to diverse ground conditions. Compared with traditional solutions, this integrated solution avoids 2-3 weeks of foundation pouring and wiring, significantly reducing initial investment costs while fundamentally eliminating […]
Falling li-ion battery prices mirror solar photovoltaics trends: Is there a role for second-life batteries before recycling?
Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere, powering everything from consumer electronics to electric vehicles, residential PV storage systems, and, more recently, mitigating curtailment in large-scale wind and solar power plants. EVs are driving large-scale demand for Li-ion batteries which will result in substantial volumes of spent batteries in the near future. This scenario highlights the potential for repurposing EV batteries for second-life stationary applications, which could maximise their value before recycling. However, to fully realise this opportunity, several economic, technical, and regulatory challenges must be addressed and resolved.
