Australia Deploys First Grid-Connected Sodium-Sulfur Battery, Integrating 1.45 MWh Storage With Solar Power

The project was developed through the Queensland Energy Storage Technology Hub with support from the Queensland Government and QUT. The battery will help test long-duration storage against industrial loads at Lava Blue’s materials-processing facility, including high-temperature operations. Its power-management system includes more than 80% Australian content, while NAS technology brings more than 20 years of international operating history and around 5 GWh deployed globally.
