Updates to the fifth edition of UL’s ANSI/CAN/UL 9540A standard include clearer criteria for determining cell-to-cell propagation of thermal runaway, a chemical reaction that causes rapid temperature and pressure rises in battery cells, leading to the risk of fire and explosion.
[pdf] The ambitious project involves building in Morocco a massive solar and wind farm equipped with battery storage. It is designed to generate enough clean energy to power 7 million homes in the UK.
[pdf] In Thailand, Trinasolar has implemented a 24 MW AC floating solar plant at Ubonrat Dam in Khon Kaen, which has been operational since March 2024. This project is expected to cut CO2 emissions by 41,000 tons and generate 46 million kWh of electricity annually, supporting approximately 18,000 homes.
[pdf] Release by Scatec has completed construction on two solar-plus-storage facilities, Maroua and Guider, in northern Cameroon, with a combined capacity of 36MW solar and 20MW/19MWh of storage.
[pdf] That's where the Guangming New Energy Storage Base steps in. Spanning 12.8 square kilometers in Anhui Province, this $2.4 billion project's redefining how we store clean energy. China added 216 GW of solar capacity in 2023 alone - enough to power 30 million homes.
[pdf] The new policy focuses on three pillars: Grid Stabilization: Deploying lithium-ion batteries at 15 key substations to reduce blackouts. Solar+Storage Mandate: Requiring new commercial buildings to install PV panels with 8-hour storage capacity. [pdf]
