The "Juche" Flow Battery: A National Pride Inspired by vanadium flow batteries, scientists claim a proprietary design using locally mined zinc. Early tests show 65% efficiency—not stellar, but a start. State media calls it “a revolutionary leap in energy storage self-reliance.”
[pdf] The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM), under the National Research Council of Science and Technology (NST), has successfully developed and demonstrated key technologies for a Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) system—recognized as a next-generation solution for large-scale, long-duration energy storage.
[pdf] The stackable integrated energy storage system is a modular energy storage solution, usually composed of an inverter module and multiple independent battery modules, which can be expanded and superimposed according to user needs to achieve different energy storage capacities.
