Our view on the latest developments in energy storage.
pv magazine Deutschland published an article exploring the solar plus storage boom in the USA and what Germany can learn from it. This article was based on Apricum's article "Storage at 20 USD/MWh? Breaking down the low-cost solar-plus-storage PPAs in the USA"...
In the final part of this article, Florian Mayr completes his review of Covid-19’s longer-term impact on the third key driver of the energy storage market. He identifies the key mindset and behavioral shifts we expect to see in a post-pandemic world, and outlines how energy storage players can best adapt and respond.
Not only has Florian Mayr, Apricum partner and head of energy storage, written about the longer-term effects of Covid-19 on the energy storage market here, he has also discussed it in an interview for ees Europe for their latest episode of the smarter E podcast....
What is the actual impact of Covid-19 on the energy storage market in the longer term? In the first of this two-part article, Florian Mayr provides the bigger picture of “energy storage vs the virus” by closely examining its effects on the first two of three key market drivers
This article explores the competitiveness of energy storage and new market opportunities that are emerging via storage-plus-renewables projects by examining with some simple “reverse engineering” how recent low solar-plus-storage PPAs in the USA were achieved.
Apricum's article on vehicle-to-grid was referenced and quoted in this piece appearing on Energy Storage News on March 18, 2020, reporting on news that US V2G charging system maker Fermata Energy became the first to receive UL certification. You can read the full...
In this webinar from March 11, 2020, you can join the presentation and discussion of pv magazine's energy storage highlights awards. Each of the five winners discuss their entries and the jury members, including Apricum Partner Florian Mayr, give their comments and...
Apricum Partner Florian Mayr was one of the six industry expert jury members evaluating the many submissions for the “2020 Energy Storage Highlights”, a special edition produced in association with the Energy Storage Europe conference. You can read about the top 5...
Apricum Partner Florian Mayr, Project Manager Stephanie Adam and Consultant Jesselyn Malimata explore the true impact of e-mobility on stationary energy storage markets and applications. Read the full article here.
Exploring the impact of e-mobility on stationary energy storage: Part 3 focuses on second-life batteries, repurposing EV batteries for sustainable stationary storage.
Adding a battery to an electric vehicle charging station can help to “buffer” the power required from the grid, thus avoiding peaks and related grid constraints or costly charges. Consequently, additional demand for stationary storage is triggered – but what needs to be considered to successfully seize this new market opportunity?
The emergence of electric vehicles is not only shaking up the automotive industry. Through the increased electrification of the transport sector, a growing interlink to the power market is being established, leading to both new opportunities and challenges for stationary energy storage players.
