Battery storage becomes biggest source of supply in evening peak in one of world's biggest grids | RenewEconomy

A landmark event occurred in the US on Tuesday night when battery storage become for the first time the largest source of supply in the California grid, which delivers electricity to the world’s fifth biggest economy and is one of the world’s biggest grids.

The milestone was noted by a bunch of energy analysts and data geeks on Twitter/X, including by Joe Deely, who noted that the output of battery storage in the evening peak went above 6 gigawatts (GW) for the first time.

That allowed battery storage to overtake gas, hydro, nuclear and renewables as the biggest source of supply for a period of about two hours in the evening peak.

Researchers make new breakthrough with 50-year-old battery technology: 'I didn't know they were still around'

Interesting stuff, I've never even heard of this battery type, and I do love seeing people look at old tech that simply fell out of favor or never was favored as it didn't fit the existing niches like this.

Researchers make new breakthrough with 50-year-old battery technology: 'I didn't know they were still around'

A Stanford doctoral graduate is investigating the potential of sodium-metal-halide batteries, which were first pioneered around five decades ago.

Big sand battery to store wind and solar energy using crushed soapstone

A huge sand battery is set to slash the carbon emissions of a Finnish town.

The industrial-scale storage unit in #Pornainen, southern Finland, will be the world’s biggest sand battery when it comes online within a year.

Capable of storing 100 MWh of thermal energy from solar and wind sources, it will enable residents to eliminate oil from their district heating network, helping to cut emissions by nearly 70 per cent.

The battery’s thermal energy storage capacity equates to almost one month’s heat demand in summer and a one-week demand in winter in Pornainen
