Redt Energy Share Discussion Threads

Aye, a noddy one. Sinclair that is.I don't think envisioning a colony on Mars means you're bright either. I do look forward to the progress of Redt , it's helping me re-learn and the newly learn some qualities of electricity and physics and chemistry. And will I think transform my balance sheet too. Most of all it will allow the economic pursuit of the so called non carbon, really non carbon dioxide world. It does so purposefully in a business like way with none of the soppiness of traditional greens.

Clive Sinclair also had a vision :-)

I'm not sure if Elon Musk would be sending his batteries to Australia if he didn't think they would be able to cut the mustard down there. The man plans on having Mars colonised in the next decade, he's no idiot.

SCOTTISH company Gaia-Wind has flagged hopes of selling hundreds of its small turbines for electricity generation in Japan annually, after making important first strides in this key export market.

RedT is also pleased to announce an additional commercial sale of a Gen 2 energy storage machine to the University of Strathclyde. The 5kW, 20kWh machine will be used as part of a joint project between Gaia Wind and University of Strathclyde at a site in Glasgow, Scotland.

Flow battery standards take step forward at IFBF meeting
The 2017 International Flow Battery Forum (IFBF) covered a wide range of topics of relevance to the flow battery industry. Alongside the Forum, a related International Electrotechnical Commission technical committee meeting also took place. This discussed the ongoing development of important new standards for flow battery systems.

Patrick Jones, a Senior Engineer who helps manage NEL’s renewable energy test site at Myres Hill, attended the Forum and the meeting of the PEL/21 technical committee, which is responsible for the preparation of product standards for all secondary cells and batteries.

“I described my work on wind turbine metering and answered questions on accuracy and other issues,” says Patrick, whose expertise led to him being invited to attend the standards discussion. “I also took part in a joint standards working group looking at flow battery systems for stationary applications, as I have overseen the installation of such a battery system at our Myers Hill site, near Glasgow, for a South Korean company.”

They are all at it now; good job we've got some orders in at last!

> The delayed trade from the 27th is showing as a sell on lse

Delayed trade, sells going in at a lower price then that at similar time, suggests a buy and share price would certainly indicate such.

Cheek, absolutely, a temporary fix that will need a permanent solution soon enough ;-)

[cheek212] 29/9/2017 20:58

I wonder how soon the Ozzies will have to replace their Lithium battery that overheats with a vanadium one that actual does the job it's designed for!

[orbital_p] 29/9/2017 20:38

The delayed trade from the 27th is showing as a sell on lse. I also made a substantial buy today and didn't even show.

[dogrunner11] 29/9/2017 19:56

Pugs, nobody went up against Musk, simple fact nobody could build within that timescale set.

It will however fail, but a quick fix the Australian government needed.

In the meantime we have bigger fish to fry, this in the schemes of energy storage project value is quite small, it is however a good advert for the whole sector.

You are, as usual, showing your naivety within this area.

Musk crushes flow - -
"Musk’s 100-Day Race to Biggest Battery Starts in South Australia


Was not even (imo) a race - Lost before it even started - From the recent tele presentation RedT are in the micro-storage business for small businesses or back-up to solar for telecommunications and not seriously anywhere near grid potential at this stage- (or maybe ever)

Another delayed buy 27/9

Someone’s loading up big

Me too gspanner added my first tranche today.

Well possibly I’m a week or 2 late but this looks like a classic company that is about to rapidly deploy their tech having spent many years carefully developing it.

Will need some more funds but these will be obtained a a far higher share price as more orders come in and the production is ramped up.

Hot tech, good patents, savvy management, institutional involvement, green! What’s not to like!

Many articles being written about disaster planning and the opportunity for new microgrid design and energy storage to help secure power, mitigate exposure and faciltate recovery.

Perhaps redT could target such areas also in its marketing, (see Extract at Link2), to make its technology available for such assistance.




The Washington Post

Severe power failures in Puerto Rico and across the Caribbean spur new push for renewable energy
By Chris Mooney September 28 at 7:45 AM

Extract 1:

"Adding more renewables, and moving away from centralized power grids to more so-called “microgrids,” could lower costs and increase resilience in the face of storms, several energy experts said. And island nations, already at the forefront of pushing for action on climate change, have been moving this way for a while."

Extract 2:

"A different model would be to rely on wind, solar and batteries to store the electricity — with fossil-fuel backup ready to go when needed — and to set up small grids powered by renewables that link to a main grid but that also can be “islanded” from it and do not necessarily go down at the same time."


=======



Extract:

"Microgrids built around cheap renewable power and battery storage are now the fastest and cheapest way to restore power — while at the same time building resilience into the grid against the next disaster.

That’s been proven by Florida after Hurricane Irma, Japan after the tsunami that caused the Fukushima meltdown, and India after recent monsoons."

Nanogrid storage could prevent future Puerto Rico-style electricity disasters

While CSP now provides a cost-efficient method of storing renewable energy, the drive for 24-hour dispatchable clean energy will be boosted in the coming years with storage for PV solar. Earlier this year, Jordan’s Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources (MEMR) invited developers to submit bids for battery storage solutions for PV solar and wind projects under the third round of its direct proposal renewable energy programme.

Progress with developing PV storage solutions is now progressing at a much faster rate than previously predicted. While many in the region’s energy sector had predicted battery storage would not be cost-efficient until the 2020s, Jordan’s decision to allow bids with battery storage for its next renewables rounds shows that the next milestone for the region’s energy sector is closer than many had predicted.

I’d assumed it was heat related, lithium doesn’t work above 20oc, or fails badly. It doesn’t work that well at 20 with use of course.

Nice one DLG.

Bodes well for Africa and Australia, we could well be leaders in these continents based on usage alone.

[dlg3] 28/9/2017 20:58

Just as I had expected, they failed due to heavy demand,I know that lithium requires air-con to cool them, to stop them over-heating, what happens when the air-con fails? the battery over-heats draining the life out of them.

I had a mobile broadband dongle, the battery failed and swelled to about 4cm, it then exploded, luckily our floors are tiled and the wife put a pan over the top of it... we only have mobile broadband due to our location, so the dongle gets some heavy usage..

[dlg3] 28/9/2017 20:49

for those interested got a reply from Joe on the battery,s in Botswana.

Morning ,

The conventional batteries you refer to at the Botswana site experienced failure due to a combination of the ambient conditions (hot) and heavy usage.

[dogrunner11] 28/9/2017 17:33

Looks like a delayed buy from yesterday, had some large sells so kind of balances the books.

Someone is keen to load at these prices, we have some important news on the way and some heavy press coverage.

Lock n load for next couple months of action

[cheek212] 28/9/2017 17:25

1m trade popped up after close - buy or sell??

[pierre oreilly] 28/9/2017 15:21

Why? He doesn't want to upset other companies.

lithium is a great fit fr low energy applicatins - i'd say the technlgy has been revlutinary. It's just nt very good at all when lots f cells have t be packed together, and that's where flow batteries beat them hands down.

there may be a very big market in ripping out pioneering large litium systems and replacing them with superior redt machines which don't suffer the same heat and mtbf problems. it's always the first sales which are the hardest, and we now have those in the bag. plenty more price surges on each sales rns, especially if scott is going t be selective as t rnss.
