Energy storage

OGO Energy will manufacture battery packs incorporating its battery management system and battery cells with improved longevity and heat-resistance made possible by noco-noco’s X-SEPA separators.

The Ministry of Heavy Industries has appointed Engineers India Ltd (EIL) as independent engineers to monitor the progress of the advanced-chemistry battery cell projects awarded under the production-linked incentives (PLI) Scheme. 

India’s OGO Energy has launched battery energy storage systems with indigenously developed smart battery management system. These systems feature a modular design. Up to five battery modules of 5.12 kWh each can be combined to give a storage capacity of 25.6 kWh.

The Reliance solar gigafactory in Jamnagar, Gujarat, will produce PV cells and modules based on REC’s heterojunction technology.

Brookfield and Reliance have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore the production of solar panels, long-duration battery storage, and other renewable energy equipment in Australia.

Avaada has signed an agreement with REC for INR 20,000 crore (around $2.44 billion) investment to fund its multiple projects over the next five years.

Tata Group will build a 40 GWh battery factory in the UK to produce batteries for Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and other EV manufacturers in the UK and Europe. 

Exide Energy (Nexcharge), which started commercial production last year, received a healthy order inflow for lithium-ion-based battery packs and modules during FY 2022-23. 

Panasonic’s EverVolt home battery supports DC and AC coupling for new and existing solar arrays.

The researchers deposited reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires over seaweed cellulose to make the anode material for the supercapacitor. The device exhibited a greater energy density of 5.21 Wh/kg, a series resistance of 2.16 ohms, and no air degradation even after 5,000 cycles.
