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.

Incidents similar to Moss Landing battery fire are unlikely but stricter regulations proposed
Battery safety has come a long way since the construction of the 300 MW first phase of Vistra Energy's Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility in California which caught fire on January 16. From the choice of chemistry, fire detection and supression mechanisms, to stricter codes and standards, the vast majority of today's large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) does not have much in common with the affected project deployed in a former turbine hall.
