Bespoke solutions are the largest BESS’s, typically over 20 MW/ 100 MWh, either built into existing buildings, or in purpose built “Storage Stations”. Typical examples of such Storage Stations are the 15MW/ 60MWh system built by

Hawaii has a problem, one that the whole world is likely to face in the next 10 years. And the solution could be a metal that you’ve probably never heard of – vanadium. Hawaii’s problem is

Standalone BESS solutions can be dynamically sized to suit any long-duration storage requirement, typically sized from 100kW/ 400kWh to 40MW/ 160MWh. Standalone solutions are usually made up of multiple containerised units and can stand in any

What is a Hybrid-Mini-Grid A Hybrid-Mini-Grid system comprises of several different sources of energy supply, such as wind or solar, plus diesel back up, plus possibly grid supply, or any other energy resource coupled to a

The VRFB is the simplest and most developed flow battery in mass commercial operations The flow battery was first developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the 1970s and unlike conventional batteries, the

Slender and snappily dressed Fortune Mojapelo was bent on living up to his first name when I met him at the Mining Indaba in Cape Town; his optimism left you feeling that fate, as well as

2020 was touted by many as the year of the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB).  In spite of the impact of the global pandemic, this prediction is beginning to bear fruit and the year is only

Batteries, those irritating squares inside phones that everyone loves to hate. But while they may help gadgets cut the power cord in consumer electronics, their energy-storing abilities could help humanity transition away from fossil fuels. A
