Distributed Storage

The Baochi Storage Station in Yunnan integrates lithium and sodium-ion technologies at scale, a global first, aiming to stabilize renewable energy and cut costs as China accelerates its energy transition.

The collaboration will leverage Honeywell’s eFining technology to produce sustainable aviation fuel from carbon dioxide (CO2) feedstock captured from NTPC’s power plants and green hydrogen.

JBM Green Energy Systems, the lithium-ion battery vertical of JBM Auto, has achieved a robust orderbook of 3 GWh for battery energy storage systems.

SolarEdge Technologies, an Israel-based solar inverter and battery energy storage specialist, has inaugurated a new state-of-the-art R&D and Technology Center in Bengaluru. The facility will play a key role in supporting SolarEdge’s global innovation pipeline while addressing the unique needs of the Indian market.

Live fire tests aim to demonstrate physical containment technology.

Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere, powering everything from consumer electronics to electric vehicles, residential PV storage systems, and, more recently, mitigating curtailment in large-scale wind and solar power plants. EVs are driving large-scale demand for Li-ion batteries which will result in substantial volumes of spent batteries in the near future. This scenario highlights the potential for repurposing EV batteries for second-life stationary applications, which could maximise their value before recycling. However, to fully realise this opportunity, several economic, technical, and regulatory challenges must be addressed and resolved.

India’s Exicom has launched its next-generation DC fast charger, Harmony Direct 2.0, engineered for reliability and efficiency in EV charging. The charger is powered by India’s first indigenously developed EV charger controller platform.

Engineers at Monash University have a developed a next-generation water-based battery suitable for application in residential use and compatible with rooftop solar in real time.

While generation capacity from renewables has grown steadily, and commendable strides have been made to reduce the cost of solar PV cells for example, our ability to store, intelligently manage and distribute that energy still remains a massive challenge. This gap isn’t just a technical bottleneck, but also a strategic vulnerability that requires much attention across the entire renewable energy value chain.

Advaiteco Technologies will focus on the manufacturing, assembly, integrated supply, and trading of hydrogen technology equipment and products to support green ammonia, green hydrogen, and green methanol projects.
