Battery Cooling Tech Explained: Liquid vs Air Cooling Systems Updated On Fri, May 9th, 2025 by Saurenergy Electric batteries must be kept within a narrow temperature range (typically about 20–40°C) for peak performance and safety. In fact, research shows Li-ion batteries live about 20 percent longer at 20°C vs 30°C, and life drops by about 40 percent at 40°C. Hot spots in a pack can trigger runaway and fires. Thus thermal management […] Read more
Solving the Smart Metering Bottleneck: The Meters Aren’t the Real Problem Updated On Mon, May 5th, 2025 by Saurenergy After a decade of investment, trials, and large-scale rollouts, utilities have largely solved the problem of collecting data from smart meters. The infrastructure is in place, head-end systems are deployed, and data is flowing. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: what should have been a foundational step toward transformation has become a new kind of lock-in. […] Read more

5 Challenges For India’s 500 GW Clean Energy Target Updated On Mon, May 5th, 2025 by Saurenergy India’s aim to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based clean energy capacity target by 2030 may be one of the most ambitious goals for the decade across the globe. Yet, the probability of this happening may be bleak considering the factors adversely affecting the new capacity additions – comparatively sluggish progress, regulatory challenges, uncertainty in […] Read more
Rising Heat, Rising Demand: Demand Response Makes a Case For India Updated On Tue, Apr 29th, 2025 by Saurenergy Climate change has caused the global temperatures to soar to new heights with the world now witnessing significant heatwaves, and with that the rise of global cooling needs. In the new era of power consumption dominated by renewable energy (RE), Demand Response (DR) may play a crucial role in optimal use of power, especially in […] Read more
Global EV Battery Standards Tighten: What It Means for the Electric Mobility Updated On Thu, Apr 24th, 2025 by Saurenergy Electric vehicles (EVs) have shifted from niche to mainstream, and the EV batteries are becoming a critical influencer of their rate of adoption worldwide. In just the last couple of years, EV sales and boom in the related battery market have shattered records worldwide, led by markets like China, Europe, and the United States. This […] Read more
Top 5: Largest BESS Projects in the World in 2025 Updated On Sat, Apr 12th, 2025 by Saurenergy As large battery projects become more and more common across the world, a new initiative, BESS100 has emerged to track the largest among them all. The BESS100, an open source visual database of the 100 largest operational batteries in the world based on rated power i.e. MW, and not on installed or usable energy – […] Read more
Why Co-Locating of Storage And RE Matters Updated On Fri, Apr 11th, 2025 by Saurenergy India has ambitious goals to install 450 GW of renewable energy (RE) capacity by 2030. Even though India has an impressive track record of quickly deploying renewable RE generation assets, the share of RE (excluding large hydro) in total generation continues to be low (13.75 percent) hindering grid decarbonization. The generation-installation gap can be addressed […] Read more
Solid-State vs Sodium-Ion: Who Will Dethrone Lithium-Ion Batteries? Updated On Fri, Apr 11th, 2025 by Saurenergy The rise of renewable energy (RE) and the electric vehicle boom have brought with them increased expectations from the energy storage industry like increased efficiency, considerably high safety, and huge energy densities, and of course preferably at lower costs. Aiming to offer options are Sodium-ion batteries and solid-state batteries. Both have their own sets of […] Read more
