Batteries are an energy storage technology that uses chemicals to absorb and release energy on demand. Lithium-ion is the most common battery chemistry used to store electricity. Coupling batteries with renewable energy generation allows that energy to be stored during times of low demand and released (or dispatched) at times of peak demand.
There has been significant recent growth in Australia''s energy storage sector and indications suggest that the pace of development is only going to increase. Recent examples have included the expansion of the Hornsdale Power Reserve, commencement of work on the 300MW/450MWh Victorian Big Battery, and
RayGen''s technology will accelerate Australia''s transition to 100% renewable energy by providing on-demand renewable energy (via its long-duration energy storage) and system strength (via its synchronous generator, capable to act as a synchronous condenser when solar is operating). Earlier this year, RayGen delivered its
