Was it good?!!! I've missed it lol

RedT are on today's BBC1 countryfile program showing now!

parsons4 thats because he or she has bought in...

owenski thanks for the link, you seem to be warming to REDT !!!

Just answered my own question 'Lithium'

'Alfen-branded containerised lithium-ion battery energy storage system. Image:'

[edale] 08/10/2017 12:50

This dutch company is promoting industrial scale energy storage batteries and are involved in a number of projects but don't seem to broadcast which technology they are based on ? Does anyone Know?

dogrunner11: Yep they mention only TWO projects and thus REDt are, defacto, 50% of Centrica's high profile projects

[dogrunner11] 08/10/2017 11:38

Listen to that radio 4 thing link below, the centric chap talks from around 9 mins to mention the time shifting project with redT although doesn't mention our name....



Still good to know they are certainly keen on our project.

Re: Voltstorage etc - Yes,people are lazy but the market for vrb domestic storage if the idea proves to be economic, is more likely to be biassed towards new build as in the early days of central heating with retrofit catching up later.
Smaller and bigger versions are not what RedT need to be pushing atm but they will inevitably follow and if redT have a key patent which makes all versions more efficient they can licence a diversity of options and collect the cash.

Tesla have over $10 billion in Debt.... do we see another delorean ????

[dlg3] 08/10/2017 04:07

Cracks already appearing in the Tesla model.....that is why they have had to turn to Samsung for the battery,s for the Australian 112MW battery storage.


Out in the desert in Reno, Nev., Elon Musk and his team began production at Tesla Gigafactory 1, a massive complex built to lithium-ion batteries. Tesla and Panasonic are partnering on the effort, and Tesla considers it crucial for its own survival. There simply aren’t enough lithium-ion batteries available for Tesla to meet its goal of selling 500,000 Model 3 vehicles by 2018 — and current market prices are too high for the $35,000 car to be profitable.

Do not forget people are lazy, they just like to flick a switch... not have hi tech machinery to look after....and finance...

[dlg3] 08/10/2017 03:54

They are doing nothing new......just a vanadium flow battery for homes...good luck....most retail consumers would prefer to buy the renewable power from a utility company... In Australia you have Redflow, they are finding it tough going even in a willing market...

[dlg3] 08/10/2017 03:47

volt storage are the newest startup, REDT have 15 years development behind them....

boadicea Scott Mcgregor takes a walking approach, he never runs......

The Swiss battery manufacturer #Belenos a division of #Swatch plans #Va EV batteries next year. Ties in with our in depth #China research

Whereas lithium is the lightest known mineral, ideal for portable objects like cars, laptops, watches and phones, it is a rare earth mineral which is in finite supply. If it is wasted on stationary objects like large MW storage infrastructure, on current projections it will run out in 17 years.

[boadicea] 08/10/2017 01:43

Just noticed this - sounds interesting but early stage, possibly running before they can walk. (Ref also Australian Vanadium in 3232 above.)

[dogrunner11] 07/10/2017 22:44

That demand will drop as more companies and communities use their own solar and wind, 24/7 with storage.... that's the revolution!

Grid will be defunct to a point.

Storage has some days added over 3% to the UK Grid. at some parts of the day

[alchemy] 07/10/2017 22:23

Wonder how that will look on the anniversaries from now on.
