Projects & Applications
The global pipeline of energy storage projects is growing rapidly across a variety of market segments, including distributed, grid-scale, off-grid and second-life projects.
From increasing solar self-consumption, reducing consumption peaks, providing flexibility to the electricity system, to deferring costly investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure, the range of applications which energy storage devices can provide is constantly evolving.
To build a robust business case, however, most storage facilities need to provide several services.

Battery companies claim UK utility National Grid skips their sites for gas peaker plants over 90% of time
The chief executives of four energy storage companies have published an open letter which claims their battery sites are being skipped up to 90% of the time, in favor of more expensive fossil fuel plants.
Most home battery storage systems meet warranty claims, new research finds
It took eight years of field measurements for researchers at the RWTH Aachen University in Germany to estimate the usable capacity of home battery energy storage systems and develop a dataset covering 106 system years and 14 billion datapoints. Their key finding was that home battery systems lose about two to three percentage points of usable capacity per year on average, meaning good news for the industry as most warranties in the market can be met with the implementation of capacity reserves.

Banking on batteries in Chile
The Chilean solar market is booming but as curtailment grows, a hybrid approach to generation is gaining ground. Storage project announcements are coming thick and fast as co-location with wind turbines offers cost efficiency and a smoother generation profile. Meanwhile, new capacity mechanism rules could take Chile one step closer to runaway battery growth.
GE Vernova lands second large-scale battery contract at Australia’s Supernode site
US-based Vernova will install a 250 MW/1 GWh battery storage system in addition to the 250 MW/500 MWh set-up it is already working on. The final site will include a data center and 750 MW of battery rated power with two- to four-hour storage capacity.
