Technical FAQs 4

Why are sodium-sulfur batteries used in stationary energy storage systems?

Introduction Sodium-sulfur (Na-S) batteries with sodium metal anode and elemental sulfur cathode separated by a solid-state electrolyte (e.g., beta-alumina electrolyte) membrane have been utilized practically in stationary energy storage systems because of the natural abundance and low-cost of sodium and sulfur, and long-cycling stability , .

What are sodium-sulfur batteries?

Sodium-sulfur (Na–S) batteries that utilize earth-abundant materials of Na and S have been one of the hottest topics in battery research. The low cost and high energy density make them promising candidates for next-generation storage technologies as required in the grid and renewable energy.

Who makes sodium sulfur batteries?

Utility-scale sodium–sulfur batteries are manufactured by only one company, NGK Insulators Limited (Nagoya, Japan), which currently has an annual production capacity of 90 MW . The sodium sulfur battery is a high-temperature battery. It operates at 300°C and utilizes a solid electrolyte, making it unique among the common secondary cells.

What is a standard NaS battery container?

A standard single NAS battery container has 1.45 MWh energy capacity. The containers are stackable, enabling utility scale energy storage systems. We supply containerized NAS battery systems: one standard 20-ft container has 1.45 MWh energy capacity. The compact form enables easy transportation and quick installation at our customers' sites.
