Since Hurricanes Irma and Maria tore through the Caribbean in 2017, energy resilience has been at the forefront of industry conversations, as communities restore damaged infrastructure and debate future systems. The storms not only ramped up...
As our world becomes increasingly connected, we become ever more reliant on power. Most of us view a temporary loss of power as a nuisance, an interruption to the way we live with our gadgets and electronics. But when we or a loved one needs it the...
This piece is a follow-up to Jared Lazerson’s 2017 byline for North American Clean Energy. 2018 was a watershed year for the energy storage and electric vehicle sectors. The cost of solar and wind continued to decrease, while adoption of energy...
The growth of the energy storage industry comes with greater exposure to commercial risk. Battery manufacturers are addressing this risk with warranties built on self-developed testing and models. But this creates inconsistency on warranty offerings...
As followers of the energy industry know, energy storage is growing at a phenomenal rate. Install size predictions that seemed aggressive only a few years ago, now look to have been far too conservative. The pace of projects is not only picking up...
Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered energy storage is enabling the rise of “intelligent” solar, where solar deployed with storage will soon dominate the market. The reasons are myriad: energy markets are shifting, supply chains...
Here’s a Family Feud-esque scenario: Imagine asking 100 energy sector experts the question, “What’s needed to reduce emissions from the energy sector?” Survey says... “Energy storage!” And rightfully so. The grid has become a...
It’s a rare opportunity to see a technology inflection point as it’s occurring. With electric vehicles, many would say we are at the bend in the proverbial hockey stick. In the U.S. alone, the EV year to date sales
Energy storage devices are rapidly being deployed as independent power producers (IPPs) and utilities look for ways to improve power generation economics, balance the grid, and increase reliability. As more wind and solar generation is added to the...
With increasing renewable energy generation being deployed throughout the world, the share of variable renewable sources such as wind and solar power are growing rapidly. The term, “variable” is used to describe solar and wind power, since the...
Distributing reliable, high-quality power with a range of resources There is substantial buzz...
The ground-breaking technology of today and the future When the first electric vehicles (EV) rolled out of...
What you need to know about battery recycling One of the best ways to protect the environment, conserve resources, and...
