We routinely talk about the electrical power grid or the telephone grid, and it's pretty clear what we mean -- a large, decentralized network with massive interconnectivity and coordinated management.

That’s the promise of grid-scale energy storage. And while the US has actually been using a crude form of energy storage called pumped hydroelectric power storage for decades, the country is now ...

The grid was designed for the consistent baseload power generation provided by fossil fuels and is not ready to integrate intermittent sources such as wind and solar at scale.

SaskPower has announced that a new battery-based energy storage system is online in Regina. It's the first facility of its kind in Saskatchewan and is meant to add flexibility to the power grid ...

Some electric cars, trucks and buses can now store energy not only for driving, but also for powering our buildings and the grid, thanks to a technology known as bidirectional charging. That could ...

With the large-scale induction of VRE in the grid, concerns about their irregular output are rising. Initially, with fewer installed gigawatts (GWs), backup energy storage systems were not a priority.

The electrical storage system would occupy about four hectares, with additional land used for an access road, a stormwater management pond and a substation for a total of about six hectares.

In addition, water losses are targeted to be less than 2%. At scale, this energy storage system will be paired with renewable energy to provide baseload and dispatchable power to the electric grid.
