Battery Energy Power Solutions will provide manufacturing scale up of Gelion’s Zinc Bromide (ZnBr2 ) batteries at their site in Fairfield, Sydney.
University of Sydney’s designed Gelion Battery is a novel non-flow ZnBr2 battery is a low cost, safe, recyclable alternative to lithium ion and has been optimised for a wide temperature range, suitable for Australia’s harsh conditions.
The partnership will accelerate Gelion’s speed to market by providing exclusive distribution rights to Battery Energy for Australia and New Zealand and complement their future technology offerings.
‍

Australian battery manufacturer, Battery Energy Power Solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Gelion Technologies (Gelion). The new agreement will see Gelion’s Zinc Bromide (ZnBr2 ) GEL batteries made in Australia using Battery Energy facilities in Sydney as well as distribution networks. Production followed by testing and verification will be carried out during 2022 with full commercial deployment by first quarter 2023.

‍

With manufacturing in Australia typically going overseas, Gelion CEO, Andrew Grimes, stated, “We are very excited to work with Battery Energy. Their 30 years of experience delivering customer centric power solutions in harsh environments will be invaluable in helping us deploy our technology in our own backyard”.
‍

Gelion’s battery shares similar manufacturing characteristics to Battery Energy’s Advanced GEL lead acid battery technology. This allows Gelion to leverage the existing lead acid manufacturing equipment, techniques, and processes used by Battery Energy. The new agreement will create a significant number of Australian jobs.

‍

Gaby Peimer, Battery Energy’s Managing Director, sees an exciting and collaborative partnership going forward. “Battery Energy has built strong, long term customer relationships and we continue to raise our reputation for being a reliable and innovative supplier. Partnering with Gelion to establish a manufacturing and distribution partnership of their non-flow batteries will only complement and enhance our business.“
‍

A safer and more cost effective alternative to lithium batteries, the recently developed Gelion battery provides a stable long-life energy source. In contrast with lithium, Gelion batteries can be safely transported and stored with no risk of exploding or catching fire. The Gelion batteries, are also better for the environment as they are fully recyclable and manufactured using more sustainable materials.

Unlike zinc bromide flow batteries, the patented GEL chemistry replaces the liquid bromine used in flow batteries. This reduces the complexity of the design creating a more robust unit that is cheaper to maintain as well as manufacture. The zinc bromide chemistry is able to operate in high temperature environments with out the need for cooling making it perfect for the harsh Australian climate. The chemistry also allows the battery to be fully discharged with no harm to performance. This battery is desiged to last up to 5,000 cycles with a 100% depth of discharge.

Battery Energy believes that the Gelion Technology has an adaptable battery platform that offers significant advantages over lithium and other newer technologies filling a void of the Battery Energy product portfolio.

As renewable energy continues to boom, Battery Energy are committed to innovation and technical excellence and are continually developing and enhancing the Battery Energy product range.

‍

"Always listening to our clients to ensure we are innovating and delivering energy solutions they need both now, and in the future. Our partnership with Gelion is another example of how we explore opportunities to bring groundbreaking technology to the market," — Adrian Edgar, Executive Director for Battery Energy.
‍

The total market globally for clean technologies is set to double between now and 2025 reaching a projected AU$1.4 trillion and then grow exponentially until 2050. As renewable energy continues to thrive, demand for battery storage will also increase in the coming decades. With the turmoil caused by Covid-19 pandemic, this has been boosted further with governments looking to reboot their economies post Covid-19 and looking to bring a shift to a more resilient and cleaner energy future manufactured in Australia.

The move will enable Battery Energy Power Solutions and Gelion to deliver positive environmental outcomes and ensure Australia plays a critical role in the global battery revolution.

Zinc–bromine rechargeable batteries (ZBRBs) are one of the most powerful candidates for next-generation energy storage due to their potentially lower material cost, deep discharge capability, non-flammable electrolytes, relatively long lifetime and good reversibility. However, many opportunities remain to improve the efficiency and stability of these batteries for long-life operation. Here, we discuss the device configurations, working mechanisms and performance evaluation of ZBRBs. Both non-flow (static) and flow-type cells are highlighted in detail in this review. The fundamental electrochemical aspects, including the key challenges and promising solutions, are discussed, with particular attention paid to zinc and bromine half-cells, as their performance plays a critical role in determining the electrochemical performance of the battery system. The following sections examine the key performance metrics of ZBRBs and assessment methods using various ex situ and in situ/operando techniques. The review concludes with insights into future developments and prospects for high-performance ZBRBs. see link for full article

In recent years, Python has seen a massive upsurge in popularity, not least because of the availability of single-board systems such as the Raspberry Pi. But Python has also found broader application in other areas such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. It therefore seems natural to look at how we can employ Python, or the MicroPython variant at any rate, in microcontroller projects.

This article will look at the basics of MicroPython, and in particular at the most important commands and libraries available. We will use an ESP32 microcontroller to demonstrate a couple of small applications: the microcontroller will be programmed with firmware that interprets the Python commands. The Python program itself is written using a development environment that runs on a PC, and Python commands can be sent from the PC to the microcontroller either as an entire program or one at a time. That can be done either over USB or over a wireless network. Let’s look at these aspects one by one. Programming and Development Environments
In contrast to the Arduino ecosystem, MicroPython can work with a range of integrated development environments, or IDEs. Currently, the two most widely-used environments are µPyCraft and Thonny. Also, we might consider installing Anaconda Navigator, which is primarily used for programming microcontrollers in the field of artificial intelligence. Each approach has its own particular advantages and disadvantages. For example, the μPyCraft IDE offers only a comparatively unsophisticated user interface, using simple graphical elements reminiscent of text-oriented operating systems.

Thonny, on the other hand, offers a complete graphical user interface in the style of Windows (see Figure 1). This IDE is very popular in the maker community, in particular because it is available for the Raspberry Pi running under the Raspbian operating system. Many Raspberry Pi users are therefore already very familiar with Thonny. Thonny runs on all the major operating systems including Windows, Mac OS X and Ubuntu Linux, and is available for free download on the Internet.

ok a few have been asking me to post some more info posts so im going to choose a program for those who have a problem with space on there computer. Have you ever had a time when youve seen that popup saying low on disk space?
well then lets pop over to " www.uderzo.it " and pick a program called space sniffer. This program gives a graphic of your hardrive space in block form. basically the lager the file, the lager the block in the graphic so the easier it is to see where all the space is being taken up.

several of you have ask my opinion on what is a good upgrade in a pc for a good price. So ive decided to have a good look around and came up with this. Minix Neo Z83-4 Windows 10 installed for $359. can plug in two monitors and play game seemlessly. can plug into most wide screen TVs. Just needs a wireless keyboard and mouse as is equiped with WiFI. great for taking with you as it fits into a small bag if you going on holiday. Tried it with the Hauppauge Win TV dual HD usb tuner and was able to watch TV while runnings Windows office as it has 4GB DDR3L ram. For a mini computer that packs a punch, this one out shone the rest at a real good low price. Check it out at JB HIFI
