I am exited to announce that ICF has published the first article of our series on Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES). With the increased use of renewable energy, there has become a reliance on energy storage to support energy intermittency and grid stabilization. LDES plays a crucial role in decarbonization by enabling smooth integration of renewable energy sources and allowing for more reliance on cleaner energy solutions. Check out this article to learn more, and thank you to Dinesh Madan, Nicholas A., and Soheb Zaidi for covering the benefits and opportunities of LDES.

National networks can't handle it! 🌍 Embracing the energy transition comes with its share of hurdles, but innovative solutions pave the way forward! 💡 In many countries, like the Netherlands, the strain on the national grid due to net congestion poses a significant challenge amid the shift away from fossil fuels. This, coupled with uncertainties in energy pricing, has impacted the market for heat pumps, reducing their traction by over 50%. Meanwhile, in South Africa, where the struggle against load shedding is real, the idea of net congestion might seem like a preferable alternative. Picture a scenario where your kitchen appliances, heat pump, or security system are rendered powerless due to electricity cuts. Heat pumps offer efficient heating and cooling solutions, but their widespread adoption poses a strain on national grids transitioning from gas or oil-based systems. So, how can we mitigate peak demand and stabilize grids? Enter Waste Water Heat Recovery (WWHR) from shower water, a game-changer often overlooked. Did you know that showering rivals electric car charging in energy consumption and peak demand at home? WWHR offers a simple yet effective solution, reducing energy demand for showering by up to 60%. By implementing this technology, you can not only stabilize the grid but also trim utility bills and simplify hot water installations. Let's make strides towards a more resilient and sustainable energy future!

Many energy companies are making investments to digitalise the energy system. However, without a coordinated approach, they risk operating in silos, leading to services that don’t integrate and data that doesn’t interoperate. To overcome this challenge, National Grid ESO wanted to define a governance model that would enable sector-wide collaboration, align digital investments, and facilitate seamless systems integration and interoperability of energy data. Discover how we supported National Grid ESO in driving energy sector digitalisation by defining how a shared digital infrastructure can be built and operated for the benefit of all energy stakeholders. https://bit.ly/3C3y6ix

Interesting publication IRENA report on Solar_PV_supply_chains_technical_ESG_standards_2024. Lots of interesting comparative analysis like the one below - China's growing geometric advantage in PV installations. Europe, because of its ambitious CO2 reduction targets, is a powerful market, but it's not just manufacturing that gives Asia an advantage, but also its dependence on the supply chain and critical raw materials to which this report is devoted.

Grid-forming technology and its role in the energy transition. BESS - Battery Energy Storage Systems offers rapid delivery of stored power and energy, outperforming conventional synchronous power plants in terms of response time and efficiency. With its impressive technical performance and increasing commercial competitiveness, battery storage is poised to play a pivotal role in future power systems with 100% renewable penetration. Maintaining grid stability is paramount, particularly in the context of the growing deployment of variable renewables such as PV and wind. In the quest for stable power systems, ensuring grid stability is paramount, particularly with the increasing integration of volatile renewable generators such as PV and wind. Grid stability relies on the dependable provision of essential grid services such as frequency response (FRT), voltage stability, and inertia. Traditionally, synchronous generators provided these reserves at the transmission system level. However, the emergence of large-scale battery storage technology presents an alternative solution. The energy transition is here – is your business ready to adapt? With rising electricity rates, uncertain grid reliability and an urgency to meet sustainability goals, your business is most likely assessing how to reduce costs, increase grid resiliency and maintain operational effectiveness – all while a ZERO carbon & ZERO emissions footprint. Are you seeking an eco-friendly, sustainable, and secure option beyond lithium-ion BESS? At TNI Energy, we've innovated a groundbreaking method that repurposes recycled lead-acid batteries, extending their life span to 15-20 years for energy storage purposes. Previously, the industry lacked a safe and environmentally conscious alternative to lithium-ion batteries. However, our proprietary technique reveals that lead-acid batteries are not only safer but also 30-40% more cost-effective than their hazardous counterparts. #TNiEnergy, #nebulositycloud, #BESS, #Energy, #ZEROemmissions, #ZEROcarbonfootprint, #energytransistion, #LeadAcid Battery, #windpower, #solarpower, #VPP, #MicroGrid

Global grid capacity needs to grow 2.5 times by 2050. Global grid capacity needs to grow 2.5 times its current size, and annual expenditure on grids must more than double to US$970 billion by 2050, according to a new report from DNV. The consultancy firm has published its New Power Systems report, which shows that global electricity demand will double by 2050. Despite a rise in global grid expenditures from 15% to over 25% of annual energy expenditure by 2050, efficiencies in grid technology and increased electricity distribution will likely keep consumer grid charges stable or declining in most regions. Solar and wind to dominate electricity generation By mid-century, electricity will constitute 37% of global final energy use, a substantial rise from 20% in 2023. Wind and solar energy are anticipated to generate half of the world’s electricity by 2040 and 70% by 2050 and the decarbonisation trajectory predicts that nearly 90% of electricity will be sourced from non-fossil sources by 2050. “There will be a rapid growth in both information technology and operational technology in the coming years, which must be supported by a robust approach to risk management, particularly in cyber security, to reap the benefits of the new power systems.” Patented TNi Energy-BESS, we've innovated a groundbreaking method that repurposes recycled lead-acid batteries, extending their life span to 20 years for energy storage purposes.
