ABB collaborates with Ecotricity on 10-MW grid-scale battery project
June 13, 2022
The project, a 10-MW/20-MWh li-ion energy storage system will be colocated alongside Ecotricity’s wind farm in Alveston, Gloucestershire, which was constructed in 2017. The lithium-ion batteries will be supplied by Kore Power, and the BESS will be controlled by ABB’s eStorage OS energy management system.
Renewable energy sources, particularly wind and solar, are rapidly growing in adoption as a key source of energy for the grid. However, they carry important engineering challenges and other issues that cannot be overlooked.
The construction is estimated to be completed in September

Only 800 meters form the site, Hima Seafood has started the construction of the world largest onshore trout farm. When set in operation in 2023, it will use the excess heat from Green Mountain’s facility.
With data centers on par with the aviation industry for their contribution to the world’s CO2 emissions, alternative refrigerants in data center cooling systems have the potential to reduce emissions equivalent to 43.5–50.5 gigatons of carbon dioxide from 2020 to 2050.
Demonstrating sustainability and performance of hydrogen-fueled combined heat and power system
May 31, 2022
Supported and partially funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), the project will be led by Caterpillar in collaboration with District Energy St. Paul and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
New consortium to focus on sustainable development goals
May 25, 2022
An organization can become more operationally efficient and demonstrate a return on investment (ROI) when meeting sustainability goals. The ROI can potentially include reduced power consumption, waste reduction for packaging, cost-effective heating and cooling solutions, supply chain efficiency, and more.
Company installs SF6-free SafePlus AirPlus Ring Main Units from ABB
May 24, 2022
Gas-insulated switchgear, widely used in MV secondary substations, conventionally contain SF6, which has excellent dielectric and arc-extinguishing properties, but, at the same time, is the world’s most potent greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential 25,200 times that of CO2.
Natron’s batteries are manufactured using the same tools and equipment used for lithium-ion manufacturing. This similarity in manufacturing requirements enables Natron and Clarios to leverage a portion of the Clarios Meadowbrook lithium-ion facility for sodium-ion manufacturing at a lower cost and faster time to market compared to building a new factory.
Mission critical data center operations typically require significant amounts of water and energy for cooling, and hyperscale server rack power density is expected to double as soon as 2023.
Waste vegetable and animal fats, and used cooking oils, can be used as base materials for HVO, which are converted into hydrocarbons by means of a catalytic reaction with the addition of hydrogen.
