Stackelberg game framework optimizes distributed energy storage allocation
Researchers have developed a game-theory-based method for optimizing the location, capacity and operation of distributed energy storage. Simulations on a 33-node distribution network reportedly reduced load fluctuations from 25.98% to 14.25% while requiring around 85% less storage capacity than conventional methods.

New framework optimizes energy storage for worst-case grid outages
Researchers have developed a framework that simultaneously determines the optimal siting and sizing of energy storage while identifying worst-case grid component failures. They said the framework analyzed power networks with up to 116 buses in less than 100 seconds.
JT Solar teams with UNSW to launch battery testing lab
Researchers from the University of New South Wales and clean tech company JT Solar Technologies have established a facility to test the real-world performance of battery energy storage systems as Australia’s home battery installations numbers continue to climb.
AI framework identifies five novel oxide candidates for battery hosts
US researchers used generative artificial intelligence to screen thousands of candidate crystal structures for multivalent-ion battery electrodes, then built a separate AI system to propose lab synthesis routes for the untested materials.
Study links air exposure during battery manufacturing to faster degradation
South Korean researchers say a routine manufacturing step – leaving battery cathode materials exposed to air – can nearly double the rate at which high-nickel batteries lose capacity over time, but a simple change in chemical composition largely reverses the effect.
Researchers develop framework for national battery storage planning
Researchers have developed an optimization framework that identifies the optimal locations and capacities of grid-scale battery storage across national transmission networks. Demonstrated on the Czech Republic's projected 2030 power system, the approach reduced electricity generation costs by up to 30%.
