They can plug their tools into a portable battery instead. A silent, emissions-free battery that can also power lights and measuring instruments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SBB now has around 80 batteries made by Instagrid, a fast-growing startup headquartered in Germany.

The name of the company is short for \u201cinstant grid\u201d \u2014 which is what it\u2019s meant to feel like, says Sedlmayr.

Use cases will naturally depend on exactly how much power a customer requires \u2014 Sedlmayr says that tests involving construction companies in the EU showed that it was possible to rely on the batteries for powering tools such as circular saws across an entire day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another company, Allye (pronounced \u201cally\u201d), in the UK, is also working on a large but transportable 320kWh battery named \u201cthe Max\u201d. \u201cThe footprint is smaller than a typical parking space,\u201d says co-founder and CEO Jonathan Carrier. \u201cYou can lift them with a forklift.\u201d Allye has raised \u00a3900,000 and has 11 employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cutting_costs_using_smart_energy_storage\"><\/span><b>Cutting costs using smart energy storage<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Max is due to become commercially available later this year and Carrier says it could be of use to film and TV crews on location, construction teams or mining operations. There\u2019s nothing stopping you using the battery as a stationary solution, too, he stresses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A supermarket, for example, could use one to store energy when it is available at off-peak, cheaper tariffs via the grid. Then, during peak hours, the fridges and lights in the store could switch to running on the battery. This \u201cgrid flexibility\u201d, managed automatically by Allye\u2019s software, could save customers in excess of 50% of their electricity costs, estimates Carrier. The savings could rise further if they pair the system with solar panels, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re introducing what\u2019s called energy storage-as-a-service,\u201d he adds. \u201cYou don\u2019t pay for the asset [bar a one-time installation fee], you just subscribe on a monthly basis.\u201d The subscription would consume around 40-50% of the electricity cost savings enabled by the system and contracts would last two to three years, after which customers could either extend or end the contract.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plugging_in_to_existing_connections\"><\/span>Plugging in to existing connections<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first installation of an Allye Max battery took place last year, <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/allye-energy_we-are-delighted-to-support-aerovolt-with-activity-7151889004181782528-zQxU\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at an electric vehicle and aircraft charging station<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the south of England. In the UK, one significant barrier to the rollout of charging stations and renewables infrastructure such as solar panels is <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.renewableenergymagazine.com\/pv_solar\/uk-grid-delays-are-descending-into-farce-20240207\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the difficulty of getting access to upgraded grid connections<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, Carrier says the Max batteries will help customers bypass this by plugging into existing connections. \u201cOur solution stores energy from the grid on a much lower power output,\u201d he explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It could even work in residential areas \u2013 for instance, a handful of homes on a street all connected to one of these batteries, so that they may access energy and store it at times when it is available at a lower price. That could happen overnight, or on occasions where there is a high level of renewable energy available on the grid. To implement such a system in the UK would likely require regulatory reform, though, says Carrier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vijay Ramani of Washington University in St Louis, US, who studies energy storage systems, says that portable and transportable batteries will likely appeal to those who want to live or work off-grid. Though for applications that require more power, other technologies such as <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/engineering\/flow-battery\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">flow batteries<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 in which energy stored in liquid electrolytes is pumped into the battery cell \u2014 might be a better choice. \u201cThose tend to be cheaper at scale,\u201d he explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, devices such as the Instagrid MOVE and the Allye Max could be a good choice for facilities of the appropriate size that want to ensure that they always have backup power, suggests Ramani.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor people who value having uninterrupted power and who lose money if they lose power, essentially, they would be willing to pay for something like this,\u201d he says.<\/span>\n                        <\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
