Part two of a two-part series
As data centers scale, operators are weighing the tradeoffs of options for supplying more reliable power. Options include battery energy storage and software platforms. At the same time, utilities are eyeing virtual power plants and data-center tariffs to balance grid loads with data center draws.
Part one of a two-part series
Rapid growth in AI data center buildout poses challenges for utilities and operators. We look at the challenges operators and utilities face in meeting energy demand while maintaining grid stability, including the critical need for investments in battery storage and infrastructure.
An E Source white paper
This white paper demonstrates how a new developmental technology known as GORE Battery Insulation provides a mechanically stable thermal barrier that maintains excellent protective properties even under severe compression and at elevated temperatures.
An executive summary from Battery Next
Recent and planned policy changes could affect all parts of the US battery market, especially EVs and energy storage. These policy changes will likely increase battery prices, slow EV adoption, and require utilities to alter ESS plans.
Highlights from the Battery Price Forecast 2024 webinar
In this webinar recap, we look at the factors affecting global lithium prices and battery supply around the world. We also explore China’s effect on global battery prices and what it means for US energy storage systems. Lastly, we share our predictions for battery market growth in 2024.
By 2025, the US electrical grid will be fundamentally changed by batteries as a tidal wave of new stationary energy storage systems is installed. Underlying this transformational change is the plummeting cost of batteries. E Source experts break down what that means for utilities and the grid.
Research and advisory case study
This case study explains how the E Source Battery Next experts helped a utility proactively electrify its commercial fleet customers to increase load and revenue.
In the current battery market, there are supply chain issues, material shortages, and manufacturing limitations. But demand for batteries is skyrocketing. Learn how E Source can help you navigate the battery market with data science and our proprietary Battery Forecast Database.
Environmental impacts, production methods, and second-use ideas
In this episode of PowerTalking, we hear Emily Hersh, CEO of Luna Lithium, and Sam Jaffe, vice president of E Source Battery Solutions, explain the ins and outs of batteries. Wondering how batteries are made? Or where the lithium in lithium-ion batteries comes from? We’ve got these answers and more!
We used data-driven models to forecast battery pricing, supply, and capacity through 2030. EV battery prices will likely drop in half. And the current 30 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of installed battery storage should rise to 400 GWh by 2030. We explain some of the causes and effects of these changes.
