Today, the global electric grid is under-going a trillion-dollar transformation to ensure green, carbon-free electricity to all customers. To enable this change, energy storage is needed to mitigate the intermittent issue of renewable power. This presentation will show how bipolar designs — specifically, the Advanced Battery Concepts second generation EverGreenSeal(R) bipolar technology — enable lead chemistry to compete in the energy storage market. It will also be explained how present scale manufacturing and recent performance enables a direct cost comparison of bipolar energy storage systems to lithium counterparts.
