A new IDTechEx report, ‘Li-ion Battery Recycling: 2020-2040’ estimates that 2020 will see 330 kilotonnes of waste Li-ion battery, which could prove problematic if not properly dealt with.
Lithium-ion is far superior to lead acid as a battery chemistry for data centre applications because it delivers higher performance and a more reliable power supply, says temporary power solutions specialist Aggreko.
François Danet, Saft Batteries’ global business development manager, data centres, discusses how lithium-ion batteries could change the UPS market, and why recent developments in the technology make them better than VRLA.
Emphasising its commitment to the lithium-ion battery trend within the data centre, Vertiv has introduced the Vertiv HPL lithium-ion battery cabinet, for use with larger capacity Vertiv uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.
Despite the advantages of lithium-ion technology, many are still reluctant to invest, citing initial cost as a deterrent, but what if we told you this was no longer the case? DCR caught up with Schneider Electric, who helped to set the record
Schneider Electric has released a new white paper, #231 ‘FAQs for using lithium-ion batteries with a UPS’. The paper provides a comprehensive guide to lithium-ion technologies and the capabilities associated with their deployment in UPS systems.
Paul Reeve, director of business, ECA discusses the next steps for batteries and why a winning combination of renewables and energy storage is the key to helping the UK transition to a low carbon economy, as well as opening up new opportunities
Having been involved in the industry for over 20 years, Giordano Albertazzi, president of Vertiv EMEA knows a thing or two about data centres. Here, Giordano answers our questions and fills us in on Vertiv’s latest projects, as well as offering his insight into major industry
In a galaxy not so far away (as it can take from as little as 6 hours to get their from Earth) Lithium-ion cells from GS Yuasa have been successfully delivered to the International Space Station for the second time.
Emiliano Cevenini, vice president of commercial & industrial vertical for Vertiv EMEA explores how we can utilise UPS batteries to not only generate revenue, but help support the energy grid and push the shift towards renewable energy.
