New York: New York's first state-owned 20MW energy storage project put into operation
The New York Power Authority recently completed the grid connection of a 20 MW energy storage project in upstate New York. It is the first utility-scale energy storage project in New York State and the first battery storage project operated by the utility. The project employed five 53-foot-long energy storage cabinets, each containing 19,500 battery modules mounted in racks in blocks. Each energy storage cabinet can store 4 megawatts of electricity, enough to supply 3,000 households. The project is located in upstate New York, an area that generates more than 80 percent of its electricity from renewable sources. According to the plan released by New York State earlier this year, by 2030, they plan to add 4.7 gigawatts of energy storage projects. The energy storage project marks a positive development in New York State in the field of renewable energy and energy storage.
Australia: Study finds redesigned zinc-air battery a 'better alternative' to lithium batteries
Researchers at Australia's Edith Cowan University have redesigned zinc-air batteries, and their research has found that the technology outperforms traditional lithium-ion batteries. Dr. Muhammad Rizwan Azhar, the leader of the research team, said that this new design is very efficient and effectively reduces the impact of the internal resistance of the battery, making the actual voltage of the battery close to the theoretical voltage, thereby achieving higher peak power density and long-term battery life. stability. This discovery is expected to lead to an important breakthrough in the development of battery technology, opening up new possibilities for high-performance energy storage.
South Korea: South Korea plans to build 1 GW photovoltaic data center complex
South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) has agreed to cooperate with the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) and Jeonnam Development Corporation to build a photovoltaic-based data center complex in Haenam, Jeollanam-do. The complex will involve the participation of several regional authorities and companies, including Samsung C&T, LG CNS, NH Investment & Securities, Bosung Industry, TGK, Korea DRD and Deus Systems. The planned complex will contain 25 data centers each with a capacity of 40 megawatts. The project will be carried out in phases, and at least five data centers are expected to be completed by 2027. The total investment in the project is 10 trillion won ($7.53 billion).

France adds 1.37 GW of solar capacity in first half
According to a report by the French Ministry of Ecological Transition, some 1,378 MW of new photovoltaic systems were connected to the French grid between January and June this year. Compared with the 1,233 MW added in the same period last year, the photovoltaic power generation capacity has increased. As of the end of June 2023, France's cumulative photovoltaic installed capacity will reach 18.03 GW. New-Aquitaine, Auvergne-Rh?ne-Alpes, Provence-Alpes-C?te d'Azur and the Grand East accounted for 67% of new grid-connected capacity in the first half of this year. These regions also have the highest installed capacity, accounting for more than 73% of France's cumulative grid-connected electricity. At the same time, since the beginning of this year, the total capacity of solar projects that have been queued for grid connection has increased by 19% to 20.1 GW, of which 4.9 GW have signed grid connection agreements. France continues to promote the development of photovoltaics, making a positive contribution to the growth of renewable energy.
U.S. energy storage capacity exceeded 12.5GW in the second quarter; 3.5GW is expected to be added in the third quarter
According to Standard & Poor's statistics, as of the end of the second quarter, the total installed capacity of energy storage in the United States surged 61% year-on-year to 12.689 GW, and it is expected that about 3.5 GW will be added in the third quarter. In the second quarter, the newly added capacity was 1.931 GW, an increase of 18% compared with the first quarter. These energy storage facilities have started commercial operation or have been integrated into the grid. The data shows that California independent system operators lead the country in energy storage installed capacity, reaching 6.314 GW, accounting for 47.8% of the total US capacity. In the second quarter, Chicago had the highest new energy storage installed capacity, reaching 1.123 GW, accounting for 58% of the new energy storage installed capacity in the United States. The U.S. energy storage industry has shown strong growth momentum, providing important support for energy storage and the integration of renewable energy.
