The Construction of Wind Power Plants is Becoming more and more Challenging. Batteries Can Help

Just as the share of wind in electricity generation is increasing, so is the number of wind farms scattered across the landscape. And their size, which makes erecting these structures increasingly difficult. New approaches therefore rely on battery storage.

Making a Perforated Strip Requires High-Precision Mechanical Engineering

The electrodes of a nickel-cadmium cell include, among other things, a perforated strip of steel that forms a kind of pocket for the active material. These strips are made on specialized machines that combine the accuracy of a Swiss watch with the robustness of solid engineering.
