Key milestone for LiNa Energy as it successfully demonstrates its sodium-ion technology for battery energy storage systems.
LiNa Energy passed a key milestone after it successfully completed an independent demonstration of its lithium-free energy storage systems (made up of its sodium batteries) with commercial partner ion Ventures.
The test, which challenged the energy storage system continuously for 5 days, proves it can respond to the modern demands of a national electrical grid.
The trial saw a 1kW/ 1kWh LiNa system perform Dynamic Containment, validating that it can sustain rapid injection and absorption of power to maintain the National Grid’s frequency, which is a key revenue stream for battery energy storage systems in the UK.
The test was performed independently at HORIBA MIRA in Nuneaton, and was funded by the Department for…
