Introduction In a groundbreaking development for energy storage technology, Sineng Electric has launched the world''s largest sodium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) in Qianjiang, Hubei province, China.
Are sodium-ion batteries a good choice for energy storage? Compared to Lithium, Sodium is cheap and abundant. If we want to store mass amounts of energy from solar and wind, Sodium
In November 2023, Swedish battery developer Northvolt announced their first sodium ion battery. With a class-leading energy density of 160 Wh/kg, the battery cells promise cost-efficient and sustainable energy storage for various purposes. In the same month as Northvolt, BYD made headlines by announcing its 30 GWH sodium ion battery plant.
A major advantage of sodium ion batteries is their immunity to thermal runaway. In other words, they are non-flammable and it is really difficult to make them catch fire, or worse, explode. Lithium batteries, on the other hand, are not as safe.
The project will utilize 70 Intensium Shift+ lithium-ion battery containers and is designed as a complete turnkey solution. Saft plans to have the Huntly BESS operational by the third quarter of 2026, marking its third utility-scale energy storage initiative in New Zealand.
Economic Benefits: The battery storage project represents a significant investment in renewable energy infrastructure, likely creating jobs in both the construction and operational phases. This economic boost aligns with New Zealand’s broader goals of promoting local employment and supporting the green economy.
SIBs are more sustainable than Li-ion batteries Lithium ion batteries have played a major role in the growth of solar power, and in some places, they also reduce carbon emissions by replacing diesel or petrol generators. However, they also use materials that require extensive mining, which is a major limitation.
