Sodium-ion batteries are set to disrupt the LDES market within the next few years, according to new research – exclusively seen by Power Technology’s sister publication Energy Monitor – by GetFocus, an AI-based analysis platform that predicts technological breakthroughs based on global patent data. Sodium-ion batteries are not only improving at a faster rate than other LDES technologies but they are also set to be cost comparable with the cheapest forms of dispatchable power, and therefore enter mainstream use, as early as 2027.

How is it "exclusive" when I read this prediction every week?

The research they're reporting on hasn't been shown to others yet. The researcers carried out an analysis of patent data.

And that's useful/accurate how?

Well, today they are actually in production, while 5 years ago they were in laboratories.
