New energy requires a substantial breakthrough in energy storage The cost of photovoltaics has dropped by 80% in 10 years, and the downward trend is still maintained thereafter. Many people will use the experience of photovoltaics to analogize energy storage, and believe that within 10 years, the cost of energy storage will drop by 80%. Is this a reasonable inference based on science and facts? Wi...
Three steps to reduce fire risk in battery energy storage systems Operation of lithium-ion batteries is generally a safe process and failure is unlikely, but they may present a risk of catching fire if damaged and improperly stored or handled. As calls for the development of safer battery energy storage systems grow, Firetrace International has proposed three steps that battery manufacturers, batt...
