Renewables Integration + Microgrids

Solar panels and wind turbines are great for producing clean electricity – but what about when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow?  Zinc batteries store electricity as it is generated and discharge it when most needed.  Unlike competing technologies which are optimized for short duration discharge, zinc batteries offer the ability to release power back into the grid for several hours or even whole days at a time.

All the advantages of zinc batteries are utilized in these applications – long duration storage, long life, low Total Cost of Ownership, and safe technology.  Developers and companies who care about the environment and sustainability of their energy supply will also favor zinc’s excellent footprint in these areas.

Renewable energy and battery storage in microgrids is increasingly important in rural areas and for environmentally-minded organizations.  Zinc batteries provide a clean and high performing solution in these areas.

Energy Storage For Buildings + Homes

Zinc batteries installed in homes or buildings provide power in the event of an outage – with capabilities ranging to multiple days of electricity supply.  The batteries are powered either from the grid or by solar panels.  Savvy customers may use solar panels to lower electricity costs, in particular by utilizing power stored in zinc batteries during the periods of peak rates. Placement in your home requires a premium on safety, making zinc a perfect fit.

Data Center Back-Up Power

The massive amounts of data being generated and stored each day means battery technology needs to evolve to support this crucial sector.  Zinc batteries have a superior environmental footprint compared to lithium-ion alternatives.

Nickel-zinc batteries, compared to competing products, deliver higher power, wider operating temperature range, lower maintenance and superior safety given their non-flammable characteristics.

Transport Applications

Uninterrupted Power Supply is crucial for road transportation, where power outages at traffic signals or notification systems have the potential to lead to serious accidents.  Growth in connected vehicles and 5G in transport will significantly increase the needs for “always-on” intelligent transport systems, and augment the importance of batteries to ensure reliability. Nickel-zinc batteries have proven to be the fastest reacting and most reliable option for transportation UPS systems, with thousands of installations since the relatively recent commercialization of these products.  

Aerospace/Defense

Mission critical applications require a combination of performance and safety that only zinc batteries can provide. Lithium batteries are not well-suited to aviation and marine applications given their potential for thermal runaway and flammability issues. The U.S. Navy has been a leader in promoting the development of zinc as the premier chemistry to meet their demanding performance and safety requirements.
