In Conversation: Weight – a new challenge for BESS in Europe
Driven by the demand for higher efficiency and cost reduction, large-scale battery energy storage systems are increasigly featuring higher capacity cells. This has given rise to new challenges on the logistics front, particularly on the European soil. pv magazine ESS News caught up with Trina Storage at last week's Smarter E show to discuss this.
Fire at South Korea primary lithium battery factory kills 22
At least 22 people, most of them foreign nationals, were killed in a massive fire at a South Korean factory that manufactures non-rechargeable lithium batteries in Hwaseong city, just south of Seoul. The cause of the blaze is still being investigated.
BESS, deep learning simulations: decrease in wholesale price variability
Donato Leo is the author of a study on the relationship between photovoltaics, batteries and wholesale energy prices in Italy. Leo's deep learning simulations suggest changes in energy prices as installed battery capacity increases.
