Grid-scale battery system developer Eos Energy Storage (Eos) has secured $15m of a planned $25m in funding for a pilot manufacturing scale-up of its energy storage system (ESS).
The US startup’s ‘Aurora’ battery promises 75% round-trip efficiency and 10,000 life cycles at a price of $160 per kWh.
Energy giant GDF Suez has appointed Judith Hartmann, currently finance chief at media group Bertelsmann, as chief financial officer.
Hartmann will start in her new position at the Franco-Belgian company in March. She will replace Isabelle Kocher, who was promoted to the role of deputy chief executive at the power group in October.
US firm ViZn Energy Systems (formerly Zinc Air) has commenced manufacturing of its zinc redox flow battery for customer pre-orders in the US and Europe.
Montana-based ViZn’s Z20 160 kWh zinc redox flow battery is aimed at the growing micro-grid markets and renewable integration. With more than fifteen years of research and product development cycles behind it, ViZn’s patented flow-battery technology claims it is capable of 10,000 cycles and a 20-year lifespan.
Delivering a 1MW/2.5MWh battery system at lower pricing than current competition allows for more rapid industry adoption, wider commercial acceptance, and greater reduction of fossil fuel carbon emissions, it says.
ViZn is taking orders for the Z20 now with volume manufacturing ramping up in Q2 of 2014.
