Battery storage with up to 4-hour duration is helping to meet peak demand across summer periods on the US power grid, but long-duration energy storage (LDES) may be key to managing demand in winter. That’s according to new research from the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Read MoreDownload files
The 2025 Lebanon International Solar Week (LISW) – the Middle East’s fastest-growing energy storage and solar expo – will take place at the Seaside Arena Exhibition Center (formerly BIEL) in Beirut from February 19 to 22 [1]. Read MoreDownload files
Energy storage is nowadays recognised as a key element in modern energy supply chain. This is mainly because it can enhance grid stability, increase penetration of renewable energy resources, improve th.

In 2022, a solar farm outside Pyongyang integrated lead-acid batteries to store excess daytime energy. While the system’s efficacy lagged behind lithium-ion counterparts, it reduced evening grid reliance by 40%—a win in a country where lightbulbs flicker like fireflies [1]. Read MoreDownload files
First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use carbon-fiber composite rotors that have a higher tensile strength than steel and can store much more energy for the same mass.OverviewFlywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor () to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as . When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotatio. .
A typical system consists of a flywheel supported by connected to a . The flywheel and sometimes motor–generator may be enclosed in a to reduce friction an.

An electric thermal storage heater is a stand-alone, off-peak heating system that eliminates the need for a backup fossil fuel heating system that is wall-mounted and looks a bit like a radiator that contains a ‘bank’ of specially designed, high-density ceramic bricks. Read MoreDownload files
Laayoune Haichen's partnership with Eletrobras created the continent's first solar-storage microgrid in Amazonas – keeping lights on even during monsoon season. Here's the kicker – Chile's massive copper reserves (28% of global production [5]) are now doing double duty. Read MoreDownload files
With renewable energy installations growing faster than Cypriot olives, the new regulations tackle the elephant in the room: how to store sunshine and breeze for rainy days. Nicosia’s playing 4D chess with its “storage-first” grid architecture. Read MoreDownload files
