An old articls from 2011 re post 3329 and sodium sulphur battery fire concerns:

[dlg3] 04/2/2019 11:54

you have to take in the saftey factor of this type of storage, it is limited to where it can be placed, should water get into the moulton salt these things go off like a bomb....

And then you put them in a part of the world not exactly known for peace and stability.

However, on a positive note, this kind of thing (rich Arabs investing in storage) makes storage of all types a much more investable product.

"Liquid sodium is highly reactive and can become explosive in the presence of water. Great care must be taken to insulate the inner components of the batteries from the outside environment. Corrosion at such high temperatures requires robust cell structures. While the materials are cheap, the supporting structure for the battery cells increases manufacturing costs."

Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

So you build very large sodium bombs and then put them at all our electric power stations .which need heating to 85c now that sounds like a good idea

You maybe right about new technologies but the VHS tapes probably had 25yrs even though CD and DVD were out way before VHS actually ran out of steam,

Red is here and now with the best thing on the market at the moment

chestnuts> You may well be right but the wrong type of storm - newer technologies and new stuff coming out of the labs have a significant chance of making vanadium flow obsolete (in terms of cost effectivness) before it gains commercial (as opposed to test and try) deployment.

[chestnuts] 03/2/2019 18:22

It really does look like a perfect storm is brewing for RED

Storage, of surplus, = generation. We need generation , possibly at night time too? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/feb/03/fate-of-uks-nuclear-power-stations-in-doubt-over-ageing-infrastructure?CMP=Share_iOSApp_OtherWhat I am I missing about inevitability here .

We have about 3GW of unsubsidised solar ready to go in in the UK this year. Same as in Germany last. 50% with storage in Germany , unspecified here. Source Chris Goodall carbon summary . It doesn't feel this week, but it feels like it should be.

[chestnuts] 02/2/2019 16:39

Charting wise we will breakout big time or go down to 3.41p

I am hoping the first with news on the German contract which proves the model and brings funds into the company so share price goes up, or there is another delay which pushes the share price down

[greenmachine2] 02/2/2019 15:49

Here is my idle speculation on the fund raise that owenski predicts,I think he was not too far off last time from memory in the timing . German deal funding confirmed subject to an open offer (I hope) with a placing with all the directors taking part, that would make a change!, and ex director John Ward taking part in the placing and signing another lock in agreement along with many other key investors and a strategic investor emerging. It's a dream I know especially that the directors would take part!

[mikemine] 02/2/2019 12:27

3319, so there should be some good news coming then.

[owenski] 02/2/2019 09:53

Four weeks till next fund raise imo, could be 3 weeks could be 5 weeks, but that's the ball park.

Another month gone and another broken commitment from Scott. And before anyone says: 'oh but it's still the New Year, he's still got 11 months left before he disappoints again' I'll give them a good slap.My remaining 500k will soon be looking for a new home.spud

Agreed on payments for stored energy (MWh) that is supplied within 24 hours

THe Lakestreet consulting article explains its to do with the balanceing of the grid structure, why dont the Grid buy a load of storage from RED and when the grid is quite send electric storage in Scotland down to electric storage in England. Quite easy really.
