The #battery revolution continues which is why there is so much money going into new capacity. At the end of last year, there was 660 GWh of #lithiumion battery production capacity in the world. According to the @IEA an additional 1078 GWh of new capacity is due to come online. 
The global market for #solar in 2022 reached approximately 250 GW, with production capacity at the end of the year totaling 640 GW - which explains why solar module prices are down over 10% and why the market could be 1GW a day in 2023
Furthermore, an additional 294 GW of new #solar capacity is expected to come online. This adds up to a total of 930 GW of capacity, which, if delivered within one year, would nearly double the global installed base of solar energy!

1/ Last week, CATL announced a new high-specific-energy battery. So, what makes this battery special?
2/ CATL says it can store "up to" 0.5 kWh/kg. That's a big claim, but they're confident about mass production soon. And hey, they're not just moo-ing around – they've got a track record to back it up! 🐄
3/ Confused by energy density vs. specific energy? Energy density is kWh/litre, while specific energy is kWh/kg. CATL's new battery is all about specific energy, so let's avoid mixing those terms! 🔋⚡

but the height of the battery cell is targeting two heights in addition to 4680. (46120??) First of all, the factory will be built for the purpose of supplying batteries to legacy autos such as BMW, but it seems to be preparing for producing 4680 once there is a strategic need

I think it was a good decision considering many possibilities. But not promising competitiveness and capacity comparing other 2 makers.
In the case of SK On, it gets more obscure. This is because they continue to insist on pouches and prismatic batteries,…

💥A quick appetizer 🧵for my new article. #Chinese investments and #democratic #backsliding are mutually reinforcing in #Hungary. To further monopolize #political and #economic #power, the #Orbán govt continues utilising business provided by #Beijing bit.ly/3G4iICo 1/
After the 🇭🇺 MFA declared that it fully respects the “OneChinaPolicy”, the 🇨🇳 @catl_official announced the largest #industrial investment in #Hungary’s history. It stems from the strategy w/ which #Orbán committed himself to a China-friendly policy for pragmatic reasons 2/
The 🇭🇺 govt tilted the playing field w/ #clientelist #corruption. It created additional #informal sources through which #Orbán cemented #political #economic power. Economic ties with 🇨🇳 became an instrument to explore Asian markets/expand business in a #nontransparent way 3/

"This thing [points to transistor] lives in a centralized system. This thing [points to cancer drug] lives in US."

Long🧵on the provisions of #BuildBackBetter on all things #electricity & #grid. The act starts w/ ~3bn in loans for electric co-ops @NRECANews, incl. projects w/ #batteries. Co-ops have been very involved in @ENERGY-funded R&D & are now enabled to bring results to practice! 1/
It is funny that in my postdoc work @CMU_ECE & @NRECANews w/ @eeregov funding, we actually studied the added value of #battery to #photovoltaics for residential customers' energy cost savings: energy.gov/eere/solar/pro… & [1],[3], [4] here panay1ot1s.com/publications-s… 2/
Another ~10bn to co-ops for loans until 2031 to improve #resilience & #reliability w/ investments in #renewables & #transmission . Co-ops 'own' transmission lines & this money can motivate adjacent upgrades. Also critical that #renewables & #transmission appear together here! 3/
The Concord project opted to go with Solar (PV) connected to an energy storage system (battery storage) in lieu of a backup generator.
This system has been designed to keep the critical loads for the home operational even if the utility power is knocked out.
This system has been designed to keep the critical loads for the home operational even if the utility power is knocked out.
This includes the backup heating and domestic hot water system (gas boiler with radiant floor heat + indirect hot water tank), the refrigerator, freezer, microwave, TV/WiFi, lighting and receptacles in strategic areas.
The Generac PwrCell provides 18 kWh of battery storage in a single cabinet, and up to 9 kW of continuous power output, enough to power the critical loads for extended periods of time. It can also be expanded to 36 kWh of battery storage in the future should it ever be needed.
The story of how @Altris_ab came to be and my involvement in PBA research is also a nice one. It was really a combination of the right people meeting at the right time and at the right place.
It began with Ronnie Mogensen, who was working on polymer electrolytes at the time and just needed a reliable positive electrode that was easy to make. He tried NaFePO4 which didn't always function. Then he turned to NaxFe[Fe(CN)6]. This always worked to a reasonable degree
He then stumbled upon a paper where the group of John Goodenough (Nobel laureate in chemistry for Li-ion #batteries) made rhombohedral Prussian white. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
But first, I think it is good to generally introduce what a Li or Na-ion #battery is built up from. While I am not an electrochemist by any stretch, I do work a lot with batteries and will mention them often.
A battery is comprised of four key components. Two electrodes connected to an external circuit: a positive (high potential) and a negative (lower potential) electrode. These are electrically isolated from each other by a separator soaked in electrolyte allowing ions to pass.
The electrons pass via an external circuit where they perform work during battery use. Both the positive and negative electrode materials need to accept both electrons and ions (such as Li+) reversibly. Designing materials which can do this is quite challenging.

More dynamic renewables mean that storage will be key to any large scale solar/wind deployment. The lack of that will just put a higher reliance on legacy utility-scale generation (i.e. Coal and Natural Gas)
