Lithium Battery Technology for Grid-Scale Energy Storage
Grid-scale energy storage systems (ESSs) are used to store excess energy generated from renewable sources, such as solar and wind, and release it back to the grid when needed. This can help to balance the grid, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and improve the reliability of the electricity supply.

Lithium battery technology is the most promising technology for grid-scale ESSs due to its high energy density, long lifespan, and low self-discharge rate. Lithium batteries can also be charged and discharged quickly, making them ideal for responding to rapid changes in demand on the grid.


Benefits of lithium battery technology for grid-scale ESSs
Lithium battery technology offers a number of benefits for grid-scale ESSs, including:
High energy density: Lithium batteries have a high energy density, meaning that they can store a lot of energy in a relatively small and lightweight package. This is important for grid-scale ESSs, which need to be able to store a large amount of energy in order to be effective.
Long lifespan: Lithium batteries have a long lifespan, typically lasting for several years. This makes them a good value for the money, especially when compared to other types of energy storage technologies, such as lead-acid batteries.
Low self-discharge rate: Lithium batteries have a low self-discharge rate, meaning that they hold their charge for a long time when not in use. This is important for grid-scale ESSs, which may not need to be used every day.
Fast charging and discharging: Lithium batteries can be charged and discharged quickly. This makes them ideal for responding to rapid changes in demand on the grid.

Applications of lithium battery technology for grid-scale energy storage
Lithium battery technology is being used in a variety of grid-scale energy storage applications, including:
Frequency regulation: Lithium battery ESSs can be used to regulate the frequency of the grid and ensure that it remains within a safe range. This is important for maintaining the stability of the grid.
Voltage support: Lithium battery ESSs can be used to support voltage on the grid and prevent brownouts and blackouts. This is especially important in areas with high levels of renewable energy generation.
Energy arbitrage: Lithium battery ESSs can be used to store energy when electricity prices are low and release it back to the grid when electricity prices are high. This can help to reduce electricity costs for consumers and businesses.
Renewable energy integration: Lithium battery ESSs can be used to integrate renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, into the grid. This is important for reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and combating climate change.

The future of lithium battery technology for grid-scale energy storage
The future of lithium battery technology for grid-scale energy storage is very bright. As battery technology continues to advance and costs continue to fall, lithium battery ESSs will become even more attractive for grid operators and investors.
Here are some of the trends that we can expect to see in the future of lithium battery technology for grid-scale energy storage:
Increased energy density: Researchers are working to develop lithium batteries with even higher energy density. This would allow lithium battery ESSs to store more energy and become even more cost-effective.
Longer lifespan: Researchers are also working to develop lithium batteries with longer lifespans. This would reduce the need to replace lithium battery ESSs as often.
Faster charging and discharging: Researchers are also working to develop lithium batteries that can charge and discharge even faster. This would make lithium battery ESSs even more responsive to rapid changes in demand on the grid.
Overall, lithium battery technology is transforming the grid-scale energy storage industry. Lithium battery ESSs are helping to make the grid more reliable, efficient, and sustainable. As battery technology continues to advance, we can expect to see lithium battery ESSs play an even greater role in the future of the electricity grid.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
