  • Talk outlines flow battery trends for industry leaders  

    Flow batteries hold promise to reliably store energy for longer periods of time and at a scale and cost useful for the electrical grid. Flow batteries are designed for large-scale energy storage applications, but transitioning from lab-scale systems to practical deployments presents significant challenges. Sandia’s Will McNamara recently addressed the Battery Council International’s Flow Battery Industry Group, outlining key emerging technological trends for the flow battery sector. He emphasized… Read More

  • Sandia supports development of faster battery models

    Sandia researchers contributed to a new publication that describes 10x faster physics-based battery models. Accurate battery models are essential for safe control and extended lifetime of batteries in applications ranging from consumer electronics to grid energy storage. Physics-based battery models offer significantly higher accuracy in predicting battery performance, but they are typically too computationally demanding to implement… Read More
