Nickel Zinc’s Powerful Future in Stationary Storage

Richard Brody, Vice President of Business Development & Strategic Marketing, PowerGenix

When Thomas Edison patented the first Nickel-Zinc (NiZn) battery in 1901, the electrical grid was still in its infancy. Now, 110 years and 32 patents later, NiZn is a mature technology ready to serve critical functions within a rapidly developing smart grid. This diversity of applications can be divided roughly according to the side of the meter on which they fall: the utility side or power consumer side.
