Wednesday, 19 May 2021 Highview Power, a global leader in long duration energy storage solutions, announced today it is developing up to 2 GWh of long duration, liquid air energy storage projects across Spain for an estimated investment of around $1 billion. These projects will enable several Spanish regions to move towards their net zero emissions target.

The company says this would make it the lowest-cost build-anywhere energy storage on the market. By comparison, a four-hour 100MW/400MWh lithium-ion battery system currently has an LCOS of $132-245/MWh, according to investment bank Lazard. Long-duration energy storage market leader Highview Power offers a comparably low LCOS for its liquid-air system, which is currently about $100/MWh for a 100MW system and could fall to $50/MWh by 2030, its chief executive Javier Cavada told Recharge in February that its thermal energy storage system would deliver power for $48-60/MWh when converting existi...

Largo Resources, a vertically-integrated vanadium supplier launching its own line of redox flow batteries for energy storage, is establishing 1.4GWh of annual battery stack manufacturing capacity. The company said yesterday that it has secured a location in Massachusetts, US, from which it will manufacture the vanadium redox flow battery (VRF...

Recharge has learned. The company hopes that both projects will be commissioned within three to five years. Land has been secured at both sites, and Hydrostor (and its partners) are working on engineering, permitting of the projects, as well as submitting bids to the California Public Utilities Commission, which is working to secure up to 1.6GW of long-duration energy storage for the state by 2026. Hydrostor’s technology — which has been proven at its 1.75MW/10MWh Goderich facility in Ontario, completed in 2019 — differs from standard CAES in that projects can be built anywhere. Standar...

Consultant What are the best ways to match up long-duration energy storage technologies to applications and revenues? And what is ‘longer-duration’ storage and when will we need it? Florian Mayr and Dr Fabio Oldenburg at Apricum - The Cleantech Advisory offer some perspectives. This is a short extract of an article which originally appeared in Vol.26 of PV Tech Power, our quarterly journal and can be found in the Storage & Smart Power section contributed to each edition by the team at Energy-Storage.news.  Between five and more than 1,000 hours of energy discharge – that’s what the t...
