ESS Commissioning and the Battery Management System
By now most people in the energy storage industry know what a battery management system does - or to be more precise, what one is used for. The distinction between “does” and “is used for” is important because it opens up a conversation about what an intelligent BMS designed specifically for large-scale energy storage applications can be used for. After being on site at ...

Battery Storage will have a Profound Impact on Smart Buildings
Often the best ideas are the most simple and elegant. If electric vehicles and consumer devices can have battery storage why can’t buildings? And if buildings can pull electricity from the grid at off peak times and store it in batteries, wouldn’t that save money? Since 2009, Stem based in California, have been working on these questions and disrupting the energy storage industry. ...

If Cobalt is So Bad, Why are Some Companies Still Using it in Batteries? Part 1
The terrible consequences of cobalt mining and usage are both well documented and heartbreaking. Devastating environmental impacts from extration that render large swath of land unusuable and polluted waterways. Children forced to work in dangerous and claustrophobic 'artisanal' mines (a truly sinister euphemism). Toxicity, lung disease, heart failure, and cancer from exposure, even ...

Numerical simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer in a phase change thermal energy storage
The objective of this work is the study of an industrial process of energy storage which consists in the use of a cylindrical tank filled with encapsulated Phase Change Materials (PCM). A particularity is present in this kind of processes; it concerns the delay of the crystallisation of PCM, called supercooling phenomenon. The development of a 2D porous-medium model for cold storage with coolant ...

Why we need to invest in Renewable Energy and Storage Technology now
The Covid-19 pandemic has been a harsh reminder that we cannot always rely on our centralized systems to deliver goods and services that protect us from shortages, and that we need back-up. People are scrambling for groceries, toilet paper and face masks as supply chains break down. Hospitals and even governments are struggling to get vital medical supplies. This and other ...
