The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $63.5 million for four transformative technologies through the Seeding Critical Advances for Leading Energy technologies with Untapped Potential (SCALEUP) program. The four projects have demonstrated a viable path to market and represent technologies focused on aerogels for energy-efficient insulated glass units, thermal batteries to supply combined heat and power from renewable electricity, energy-dense solid state batteries, and cement decarbonization. SCALEUP supports the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to advance critical research and development helping to propel America’s energy innovation leadership on the global stage.

Exciting news for New York! The state has approved a plan to add 6 GW of energy storage by 2030, paving the way for a clean energy future. This initiative is set to reduce statewide electric system costs by nearly $2 billion and aims for 70% renewable electricity by 2030 and 100% zero-emission electricity by 2040, benefiting communities with a more resilient and reliable grid. Catalyze’s advanced battery storage integration technology takes best-in-class components to create solutions configured to each customer’s goals. Rather than one-approach-fits-all, Catalyze analyzes customer needs, energy load, grid requirements, and safety to create the optimal approach.

Building a long-term plan for renewable generation data and putting foundational technologies in place drives more value from that data over the lifecycle of power producers' assets. In his latest article for North American Clean Energy, Brett Benson, director of global renewable solutions business development for Emerson’s power and water solutions business, discusses how companies seeking a competitive advantage recognize they need contextualized data to make better, more informed decisions.

In the UK (and it’s true across the globe), most grid-scale BESS are connected at the distribution level. But transmission connections offer clear advantages, from efficiency to reliability, even project planning. For example, higher voltages mean losing less energy from Ohmic heating; direct transmission connections offer unparalleled grid reliability and enhanced visibility within National Grid control rooms; there’s less congestion on the transmission network, which means the long waiting times that beset the distribution networks may be avoided. So, why are there less than a handful of transmission-connected projects to date? Well, it is complicated! Such projects require specialised transformers, switchgear, and protection systems, all operating to enhanced safety standards, pushing up costs. Greater levels of expertise are also needed to design and install them. At higher voltages, the potential impact of harmonic distortion on the grid can also be amplified; this requires both studying and potentially implementing sophisticated control systems to ensure compliance with stringent grid code requirements. So, winning our second transmission-connected project in the UK (i.e., the Atlantic Green’s 300 MW /624 MWh BESS at Cellerhead) is a proud moment for Envision Energy, kudos to the team. As with all projects, there were interesting technical challenges here which we have overcome. For example, we changed our standard AC skid (2*PCS, LV/MV Transformer, and RMU) because the specific demands of this 400kV project necessitated a radial design. Essentially there is significant fault amplification associated with RMUs at such high voltages. I read recently an article on noise becoming a “thing” for BESS in the UK, we can definitely confirm that here too and have worked extensively on this topic. Ultimately, I think our capability to successfully deliver this project lies in vertical integration (and I mean true vertical integration). Being the OEM for cells-to-software affords Envision a unique capability to tackle potential challenges with a broad scope to find the most efficient solutions. Looking forward to our delivering this projects and our continued growth in the UK.

SCF Partners is excited to announce the formation of D2Zero, a decarbonisation and clean energy solutions platform. The launch of D2Zero reflects SCF’s belief in the global imperative to reduce emissions, investing and innovating to deliver the energy transition while sustaining a safe, affordable, and reliable energy supply. D2Zero’s activities are therefore focused on maintaining and decarbonising traditional energy sources, supporting the development and growth of transitional energy sources and related infrastructure, and innovating to deliver breakthroughs in transformational energy technologies. https://lnkd.in/etddV6WA

𝘿𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙗𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙮: 𝘼 𝙎𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙁𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 New York State is setting a bold example by committing to carbon neutrality in electricity: 70% by 2030 and 100% by 2040 – with renewable resources. As Governor Kathy Hochul announced (https://lnkd.in/gBJ7Mbj7), the New York State Public Service Commission approved targets of six gigawatts of energy storage by 2030. This represents 20% of the state’s peak electricity load. And it means 2 MW of additional storage every day to reach the ambitious target. During our recent visit to the US we met with William Acker, Executive Director, and John Cerveny, Sr. Director and Program Manager of New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology Consortium (NY-BEST) for insightful discussions: about the future of energy, how truly sustainable energy storage can contribute to New York’s mission and how it could be produced and create jobs in New York. At PHENOGY, we strive to be a reliable partner for the global energy transition and to provide a pluggable solution that supports the mission of New York. As more states and local governments follow New York’s example, together we can create the basis for a sustainable future while supporting regional jobs and development! #Decarbonization #EnergyStorage #CleanTech #CleanEnergy #Renewables
