Corinex Launches Grid Intelligence Node for Near-Real-Time Low-Voltage Network Monitoring
Corinex has introduced its Grid Intelligence Node, a distribution-grid monitoring system designed to provide near-real-time measurements and event detection on low-voltage feeders. The technology gives utilities more precise information on actual network conditions, helping them identify capacity constraints, verify grid actions and assess how much additional load or distributed generation can be connected. This capability is increasingly important as rooftop solar, EV chargers, heat pumps and battery systems place bidirectional and highly variable loads on distribution networks originally built for one-way power flows. Corinex positions GIN as a “grid-truth” layer supporting faster interconnection decisions and more effective use of existing infrastructure. The technology could help utilities defer costly upgrades while connecting larger volumes of distributed renewable energy and electrified demand.
SENS Adds 105,000 Sq Ft US Factory as Critical Power Workforce Grows Sixfold
Stored Energy Systems has opened a new manufacturing facility in Longmont, Colorado, adding 105,000 square feet and doubling the footprint it occupied only two years earlier. SENS’ workforce grew from 50 employees at the end of 2020 to 230 at end-2025 and 291 by July 2026, with around 300 expected by the end of August. Revenue has grown approximately 50 percent annually over the past five years. SENS says its power systems support more than 80 percent of North American data centers, alongside utilities, energy facilities and industrial customers. The expanded plant will manufacture integrated power-conversion, energy-storage, distribution, control and communications systems, addressing growing demand for resilient onsite power as AI data centers and grid infrastructure require increasingly sophisticated backup and operational energy systems.
Camel Group Sodium-Ion Battery Enters European Automaker Validation Program
Camel Group’s 12V sodium-ion battery technology has been selected by a major European automotive manufacturer for a pre-development and validation program. The project advances sodium-ion chemistry toward potential automotive commercialization for next-generation low-voltage applications. Sodium-ion batteries could reduce dependence on lithium and other constrained battery materials by using more abundant sodium-based chemistry, making the technology potentially attractive for vehicles, stationary storage and other applications where cost, safety and supply-chain diversity matter. The European OEM will evaluate Camel’s system through its technology-development process before determining potential deployment. Although Camel did not disclose project value or production volume, selection by a major automaker represents an important transition from internal R&D toward customer validation. Sodium-ion technology is increasingly being considered alongside lithium iron phosphate for lower-cost energy-storage applications.
