ZBB Successfully Completes Advanced Electricity Storage Technologies Program

ZBB Energy Corp (AMEX:ZBB) announced that their ZESS 500 program has been successful– which included among other things, a zinc–bromine flow battery that store solar and wind energy.

The press release is quoted as saying:

The power capability of the battery is 100kW and can cover the total building load at night and during lower load periods such as weekends, with the excess stored energy capacity being exported to the electricity grid. Peak loads are met by a combination of renewable energy, battery output and grid electricity, with the ZESS 500 serving as the storage asset managed automatically using data from CSIRO’s building management system.
