Pilot project in German lab tests high voltage battery storage system at up to 20 kV
The KV-Batt research project aims to reduce battery system energy losses by operating at up to 20 times the usual voltage. A long-term practical test will take place after the development of high-voltage-resistant components.

Baltic battery report: Get in if you can, says Aurora
New analysis from Aurora Energy Research (AER) finds that battery storage projects commissioned in the Baltics will capture high returns if commissioned in 2026 from both immature ancillary and intraday markets. By 2029, though, increased competition will change the outlook.
Chicago to New Jersey could face cold-weather load shedding by 2032 without 16 GW of batteries
'Without decisive action, millions of homes and businesses could face costly and dangerous reliability risks,' said the trade body which sponsored a Brattle Group study into the 13-state PJM grid, adding, 'Hundreds of storage projects are stalled in PJM’s interconnection queue.'

High-rise buildings could soon use gravity energy storage, say researchers
Researchers in Canada have proposed using gravity-based energy storage in high-rise buildings, in combination with photovoltaic facades, small wind turbines, and lithium-ion batteries. Their modeling indicated that this hybrid system could achieve a levelized cost of energy ranging from $0.051/kWh to $0.111/kWh.

When battery imbalance turns 11% of capacity into stranded energy
A 350 MWh battery storage system is delivering significantly less energy than expected without the battery management system detecting the issue. The result is chronic overestimation of tradable energy volumes and potentially five-figure weekly balancing energy costs. This is one of the real-world failure scenarios we will explore and show how to avoid at the upcoming Battery Business & Development Forum on April 1.
Alinta gives construction go-ahead for 1 GWh battery project in South Australia
Alinta Energy has locked in construction of the first 250 MW/1 GWh stage of a 500 MW/2 GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) planned for South Australia and appointed local construction firm GenusPlus Group as principal contractor.
