Today, Paul Domjan Founder and Chief Policy & Global Affairs Officer, will represent ENODA at Edison Electric Institute 2024 Conference. Paul will join expert industry leaders from ERCOT and the Public Utility Commission of Texas, at a panel discussion on “Building System Resilience: Lessons from Texas as We Look to the Future." ENODA caught up with Paul to hear his findings from #EEI2024, what to expect from the panel, and how ENODA is playing a role in shaping long term solutions to support the energy transition. "It's been great to see all the different discussion around not just the importance of grid investment, but the importance of what we at ENODA have been advocating for a long time: not just building a bigger grid, but also building a better grid. It really is clear as we look at load growth and the issues that the customers of electricity face, that we need to be deploying all of the potential technologies to increase capacity of the existing poles and wires, at the same time as we build new poles and wires. I'm very proud of the role that ENODA plays in that."

By shedding light on these regulatory challenges, the visit aimed to pave the way for potential policy reforms and initiatives that could facilitate the widespread adoption of Battery Energy Storage across the EU and beyond. 🌐🔋 Thank you for your visit and the very constructive dialogue. ✨🚀   Follow the link to find out more: https://lnkd.in/efBmTj45   #exide #exidetechnologies #exidegroup #energystorage #batteries #futureofenergy #sustainability #energizinganewworld 

Great work by EPRI! This is an insightful and much needed explanation of safety across different battery applications (grid scale, micromobility, etc.). The statistics shared regarding BESS failures over time and EV vs. ICE fires really share a story of growth in safety and performance across the industry. I implore all my followers (especially in the energy industry) to give this short report/whitepaper a read. #energystorage #safety #batterytechnology

This free report from EPRI is a great overview of the risks of lithium-ion #batteryfires. Take a look. #batterysafety

The challenge with applying any new, transformative technology is to move boldly forward while being able to satisfy concerns such as safety and reliability in a reasonable way. Safety failures in a single product manufactured by a single company can stain the reputation of all products and all companies using the same technology. The lithium ion battery is a great example. Over the last 30 years, this technology has established itself as a clean, quiet power source for many of our everyday devices: mobile phones, laptops, earbuds, watches... It's easy to forget that the batteries are even there. The only time you notice is when you're out of charge. Big mechanical power plants and internal combustion engines come with movement, noise and powerhouse drama. They look, sound, smell and feel dangerous, and we treat them with an attendant level of caution and respect. Batteries, on the other hand, serenely deliver power in their boring, drama-free way -- and that can lead to complacency. We forget that these are little boxes packed with energy that wants to get out. In rare cases, flawed product design or errors in operation can lead batteries to catch on fire or explode. This is most common in new applications of the technology, where product developers and users may be less aware of safe operating parameters, and regulatory measures have not caught up to innovation. It's easy to feel betrayed by such failures, however rare they are. The good news is that the vast majority of lithium ion products are very safe, and the overall safety record continues to improve. At EPRI, we have been working for decades to improve the safety and reliability of battery systems in a variety of applications, including electric transportation and stationary power. We've worked with partners to develop design guidelines and best practices for preventing fires, as well as educating users and first responders on how to handle fires when they occur. Our recently released Technology Innovation Spotlight provides context for recent news reports on lithium ion fires.

This Thursday, member company Beyond Innovation Limited is holding a webinar on Energy Solutions for businesses and is extending that invitation to fellow Scottish Engineering members. The session will cover the importance of energy profiling prior to considering how to lay out a suitable technology roadmap, alongside the use of custom micro-grids, and considerations for Electric Vehicles (EVs), and will use live results to outline case studies that illustrate what a good solution looks like. https://lnkd.in/eHx9R6pF

Morrow Batteries, Nordic Batteries and Eldrift AS join forces to build Norwegian battery supply-chain. "We are incredibly excited to announce this Norwegian partnership. An integrated battery value-chain is critical to succeed in the global battery industry, and Norway is leading that race", says Morrow CEO Lars Christian Bacher. McKinsey & Co. has identified batteries as one of Norway's principal potential green industries in the future. According to the consultancy, a rapid and broad strengthening of all parts of the battery value chain is needed to satisfy the global battery shortage. Kongsberg-based Nordic Batteries will deliver state-of-the-art battery modules and packs of various sizes, battery management systems, and temperature control technology to Eldrift and other system integrators. Bryne-based Eldrift AS offers infrastructure solutions with these jointly developed battery packs to various mobile and stationary battery energy storage solutions.

As a part of my research on optimization and its application, I have published a paper in IEEE Xplore to show how we can leverage different optimizers for battery energy storage unit sizing considering Vehicle2Grid services. This paper was presented at the IEEE 3rd International Conference on Sustainable Energy and Future Electric Transportation (#SEFET2023). Check out the paper here: https://lnkd.in/e_aMb5f3

ATTENTION! In just six years, half of all cars in Denmark are expected to be electric. This shift is a significant step toward cutting CO2 emissions but also presents a huge challenge for the power grid ⚡🚗⚡ 💡Now, imagine if your electric vehicle (EV) could not only reduce emissions but also enhance grid stability! In collaboration with Spirii and IBM, researchers at DTU - Technical University of Denmark have analyzed data from 1,400 EVs to study how EV batteries can bolster the power grid via flexible consumption🔋 The technology already exists for EV chargers to provide a service known as frequency containment reserve for disturbances (FCR-D). During critical power grid situations with substantial supply-demand imbalances, chargers capable of delivering FCR-D can automatically adjust their power usage—increasing or decreasing as needed, thus quickly restoring grid balance 🌍⚡ The result? Benefits all around—for grid operators, EV driver, and the planet. Plus, flexible consumption during charging could save you 6-10% on your charging bill💰 Want to learn more about FCR and Spirii's grid balancing services?

Copenhagen + 1400 EVs = grid stability “… the more electric cars participate in the provision of FCR-D services, the more stable the power supply becomes…” 🚙🔋 We urgently need to equip ALL vehicle types (buses, trucks) with V2G technology in order to participate in the electricity and balancing markets. 🚛🚌
