TT: Power vs Energy, the battleground for storage (Ep 071)

Published on: 27th February, 2018

Welcome to Episode 71 of SunCast! 

I hope you enjoyed the last episode with Brian Patterson of Emerge Alliance.

In Episode 59, Mike Grunow and I discussed an awful lot of excellent topics around the ins and outs of developing and even selling energy storage products. But it was his answer to one question in particular that set the stage for this Tactical Tuesday. Mike is the VP of Marketing for Vizn Energy, a Flow Battery manufacturer. 

Tune in Today as we Discuss Topics Such As:  

  • Why is Lithium Ion the dominant technology, and will that continue? 
  • What is a flow battery, and how are these two different/similar? 
  • The 3 critical things to understand about batteries: Duty Cycle, Cooling Cycle, and Electrodegredation 
  • The difference between Power & Energy 
  • How batteries can actually help a customer take advantage of these so-called ancillary services
