Coupling Storage with High-efficiency Power Tower Technology Provides Cost-Competitive, Reliable and Dispatchable Solar Power during California’s Peak Demand Periods; Reduces Costs to California Ratepayers BrightSource Energy, Inc., a leading solar thermal technology company, today announced the addition of its SolarPLUSTM thermal energy storage capability to three of its power purchase agreements with Southern California Edison [...]
Work is continuing on developing storage technologies for renewable energy generated electricity from sources such as solar and wind. Innovations in storage such as high-speed flywheel, pneumatic, hydrogen and pumped storage are offering competition to the classic chemical battery. E. ON set up in Brandenburg Falkenhagen, a pilot plant for the conversion of electricity from [...]
Although energy storage solutions such as compressed air and pumped storage have been around for decades, they have not had significant success in the global market when compared to the substantial increase in grid capacity over the past 50 years. Now, however, energy storage on the grid is reaching a turning point. Numerous new technologies [...]
In a little more than a year, 34 corporate customers have installed, deployed or purchased more than 250 fuel cell power systems and hundreds of backup power units, totaling more than 30 MW of power, plus more than 1,000 fuel cell-powered forklifts. “The Business Case for Fuel Cells 2011: Energizing America’s Top Companies,” a new [...]
The Electricity Storage Association (ESA) fully supports advanced energy storage companies. These technologies provide frequency regulation to stabilize our electric grid, increase reliability of our system, and reduce the cost of electricity to consumers. Energy storage provides a resource-neutral ability to use energy when we need it at the price we want it. As we [...]
