Stortera

Founded in 2013 by directors Pas Pallawela, Gavin Park, and Brenda Park, Stortera is an Edinburgh-based developer of intelligent energy storage solutions. The company designs and manufactures energy storage systems, including hardware, software, and AI-powered controls for various scales and operational environments.

Stortera's main product is the SLiQ, a unique single liquid flow battery that utilizes pioneering lithium-sulphur chemistry and nanotechnology. This battery is designed for a long lifetime of up to 30 years, offering a potentially lower-cost alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries. The SLiQ system provides both millisecond response times and long-duration storage, making it suitable for grid flexibility by storing energy from renewable sources like wind and solar to be released during peak demand. Its power and capacity are independently scalable to meet specific client requirements.

Alongside the SLiQ, Stortera has developed other products, including the StorTower for homes and businesses, the medium-scale StorHub for commercial applications, and a portable energy storage backpack for disaster relief. All products are integrated with StorAI, a proprietary software platform that uses artificial intelligence to optimize battery system efficiency based on weather forecasts, user behavior, and grid data. Stortera serves a diverse client base that includes communities, councils, and businesses in the UK, Canada, and South Asia. The company has engaged in significant projects, such as installing the world's first smart energy network for Perth and Kinross Council and collaborating on a pilot smart grid in Nova Scotia, Canada.
