The device is described as a heat engine with no moving parts that is able to produce power from a heat source of between 1,900 to 2,400 C. This concept is known as thermal energy grid storage (TEGS) ...

Grid operators are racing to keep up with a surge of renewable power and a wave of electricity-guzzling data centers, and the old toolkit of short-duration lithium packs and gas peaker plants is no ...

Energy storage for the electrical grid is about to hit the big time. By the reckoning of the International Energy Agency (iea), a forecaster, grid-scale storage is now the fastest-growing of all the ...

Energy startup Commonwealth Fusion Systems has announced that it will begin construction of the “world’s first grid-scale” nuclear fusion power plant near Richmond, Virginia. The MIT spinout announced ...

Grid-scale energy storage has the potential to revolutionize the electric grid by making it more adaptable and capable of accommodating intermittent and variable renewable energy sources. In addition, ...

Grid operations require a constant balance between demand and supply to maintain stable and desired frequency and voltage levels. Large and continued frequency deviations in the system could damage ...

Global grid-connected battery energy storage system (BESS) installations have reached 156 GWh through October 2025, up 38% year-on-year compared with the same period in 2024, according to the latest ...

A grid-scale battery in the Scottish Highlands got a chance to prove its mettle in March when, 11 days after it started up, a massive wood-burning generator in northern England shut down unexpectedly.

American battery startup Peak Energy and energy developer Jupiter Power have teamed up to deploy grid-scale sodium-ion batteries. It's a big step forward for the nascent—and in some ways, ...
