Hanersun has announced the commissioning of a 1. 15MWh commercial energy storage project in the Latvian capital Riga. The project, featuring five units of the company's HNESS 230-L liquid-cooled cabinets, highlights its increasing role in advancing Europe's renewable energy. . icity per year. Through smart use of large-scale energy storage, parties can be connected more quickly at lower social costs, using more sustainable. . Riga's aging power infrastructure currently operates at 92% peak capacity during winter months, with renewable integration rates lagging behind EU averages by 18% [3]. The problem's crystal clear: we're trying to power a 21st-century smart city with mid-20th-century grid technology. Latvia. . While lithium-ion batteries grab headlines, pumped hydro stores 94% of the world's grid-scale energy [reference needed]. Latvia's Energy Strategy 2050 outlines major changes in renewable energy production and storage. . The addition of two utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Latvia marks the final milestone in synchronizing the Baltic power grids with continental Europe, according to the country's transmission system operator.
Thermal oxidation is one of the most common electrode treatment methods in literature, which has increased the energy efficiencies of vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) by 10 to 20 % depending on their operating current density. Scientists developed a way to chemically capture corrosive bromine during battery operation, keeping its concentration extremely low while boosting energy density. . Researchers develop new system for high-energy-density, long-life, multi-electron transfer bromine-based flow batteries. Credit: DICP Scientists have found a way to push zinc–bromine flow batteries to the next level. Here we introduce a Br2 scavenger to the catholyte. . ABSTRACT: Redox flow batteries based on quinone-bearing aqueous electrolytes have emerged as promising systems for energy storage from intermittent renewable sources. Bromine boasts several advantages for battery chemistry.
