Rechargeable room-temperature sodium–sulfur (Na–S) and sodium–selenium (Na–Se) batteries are gaining extensive attention for potential large-scale energy storage applications owing to their low cost and high theoretical energy density.
This technology strategy assessment on sodium batteries, released as part of the Long-Duration Storage Shot, contains the findings from the Storage Innovations (SI) 2030 strategic initiative.
High-temperature sodium–sulfur (HT Na–S) batteries were first developed for electric vehicle (EV) applications due to their high theoretical volumetric energy density. In 1968, Kummer et al. from Ford Motor Company first released the details of the HT Na–S battery system using a β″-alumina solid electrolyte .
A standard single NAS battery container has 1.45 MWh energy capacity. The containers are stackable, enabling utility scale energy storage systems. We supply containerized NAS battery systems: one standard 20-ft container has 1.45 MWh energy capacity. The compact form enables easy transportation and quick installation at our customers' sites.
Much of the attraction to sodium (Na) batteries as candidates for large-scale energy storage stems from the fact that as the sixth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and the fourth most abundant element in the ocean, it is an inexpensive and globally accessible commodity.
Not surprisingly, NAS batteries have been chosen in several recent projects for co-location with hydrogen production. Across the globe, testing and certification of energy storage technologies from cell to system level according to UL9540A and UL1973 standards is becoming crucial for bankability.
We are committed to excellence in solar container and energy storage solutions.
With complete control over our manufacturing process, we ensure the highest quality standards in every solar container and BESS system we deliver.
