The Korean company LS Materials has developed a new hybrid energy storage system (H-ESS) for electric vehicle charging stations, which it claims is cheaper, more compact and significantly longer-lasting than conventional stationary storage systems for charging stations.
[pdf] The project involves the design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of a 10 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) plant integrated with a 20 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) and a 33 kV evacuation line. The hybrid system will be developed on a 290-hectare site in Garowe, Puntland.
[pdf] Italy’s Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security (Mase) has issued final approvals for five new battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, paving the way for 361 MW of new capacity to be added to the nation’s grid.
