Paulo Fonseca's touchline ban to be upheld
A press release from Olympique Lyonnais suggests that Paulo Fonseca's nine-month touchline ban will be upheld by the authorities, despite an appeal. Fonseca was handed a nine-month ban for confronting referee Benoît Millot in the dying moments of Olympique Lyonnais' 2-1 victory over Stade Brestois in March. The suspension handed down by the LFP means that the Lyon manager is banned from the touchline until November 30. The Portuguese manager is even banned from entering the dressing room before, during and after the game, until September 15th. Advertisement Lyon were critical of the LFP's ban for Fonseca, appointed at the end of January and stated that they would appeal. OL had been set to make their appeal through the LFP. However, it was instead made through the Comité National Olympique du Sport Français (CNOSF) in order to find a mediation. However, during the appeal, which took place towards the end of the Ligue 1 campaign, Fonseca was not given the chance to defend himself, something he is frustrated about. As a result, he was not confident that the ban would be overturned. OL have now denounced the procedure, stating that the authorities 'refused to engage in discussion'. The communiqué, therefore, suggests that they have been made aware of the failure of the appeal. Fonseca, therefore, will start next season once again far from the touchline and from the dressing room. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

Delhi Unveils South Asia's Largest 20-MW Battery Energy Storage System to Boost Power Supply
New Delhi: Delhi power minister Ashish Sood on Thursday inaugurated a 20-MW battery energy storage system (BESS) at Kilokari, said to be the "largest" in South Asia. The system is also India's "first commercially approved" utility-scale energy storage system that will ensure improved power supply in different south Delhi areas, covering a population of over one lakh people, according to a statement from power discom BRPL (BSES Rajdhani Power Limited). The 20-MW (40 MWh) BESS installed at the BRPL substation at Kilokari is the "largest" utility-scale system in South Asia. "The energy storage system is designed to deliver up to four hours of reliable daily power—two hours each during the day and night—directly benefiting over one lakh residents in the densely populated Kilokri area in south Delhi," it stated. The system offers multiple benefits such as improved power supply, enhanced grid stability, optimised power purchase costs, peak shaving, reduced overloading of the network, and renewable power integration. Strategically located at the 33/11 kV Kilokri substation, it will deliver up to four hours of reliable daily power, two hours each during the day and night, directly benefiting over 1,00,000 residents in the densely populated Kilokri area in south Delhi, said discom BSES. This initiative significantly enhances grid reliability, especially during peak demand periods, setting a new standard for urban energy management. The project, completed within a year, leverages advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) technology known for superior safety, thermal stability, and durability. The system's temperature-controlled containers ensure optimal operations under Delhi's diverse weather conditions, making it ideally suited for dense urban locations, the discom said. South delhi MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, BSES director and group CEO Amal Sinha, BRPL CEO Abhishek Ranjan, and many other officials were present at the inauguration ceremony. The power minister said that the govt would deploy this new technology in Delhi and ensure the required investment for the same. "Entrepreneurs keen to work in the solar energy sector will also be supported with necessary facilities to help ensure continuous and sustainable power supply. The project will not only aid clean energy storage and green energy promotion but also marks the beginning of a new era of innovation," he said. Sood stated that implementing this 20 MW storage system will reduce the strain on Delhi's power infrastructure. The govt will scale up the model further, particularly in unauthorised colonies and areas with limited land availability or no existing grid. He said the Delhi govt's top priority is to overhaul the neglected and outdated power infrastructure of the last 10 years. The aim is to rapidly adopt new technologies to ensure smooth and round-the-clock electricity supply for the people of Delhi, he said.

Innometry to showcase X-ray inspection tech for EV batteries in Germany
Innometry said Thursday it was poised to present its noninvasive X-ray inspection solutions for electric vehicle batteries at next week's The Battery Show Europe 2025 in Germany. At the event, Europe's largest battery expo, the South Korean company will set up a booth to showcase its X-ray equipment, which can precisely analyze the internal structure of rechargeable batteries to identify defects, helping to reduce EV fires. Innometry underscored its technological prowess to offer optimized X-ray equipment tailored to each client by leveraging its artificial intelligence-based software platforms. 'We will display mock-up equipment to help visitors easily understand the battery inspection process,' stated an Innometry official. 'We will present our world-leading non-destructive inspection technology, including 46 series cylindrical batteries (46 millimeters in diameter), lithium iron phosphate and solid-state batteries, as well as our flagship equipment assessing prismatic batteries.' Having supplied equipment to Sweden's Northvolt, Innometry has gained recognition in Europe and has scheduled meetings with various companies, including local cell manufacturers and next-generation battery firms. It is also actively engaging with energy storage systems and battery recycling companies that it met with at the InterBattery expo, which was held from March 5-7. Furthermore, Innometry is venturing into semiconductors and electronics, focusing particularly on non-invasive inspection equipment for glass substrates (TGV) – used for glass substrates and optical fibers in AI data centers. 'Through this exhibition, we aim to actively communicate with potential customers in Europe and the US to create business opportunities,' stated Innometry CEO Lee Gap-soo. 'We expect a turnaround this year as major domestic clients resume orders for our inspection equipment for strategic products like the 46 series, LFP and ESS in the second quarter.' Meanwhile, The Battery Show Europe 2025 is set to take place from June 3 to 5 at Messe Stuttgart, featuring 1,154 participating companies and attracting over 10,000 visitors annually.

LGES, Samsung to produce LFP batteries in the US with GM
South Korean electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturers LG Energy Solution (LGES) and Samsung SDI Company have agreed to install lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery production lines at their respective joint venture plants with General Motors (GM) the US, according to reports in South Korea citing people familiar with the matter. LGES' joint venture with GM, called Ultium Cells LCC, currently has two battery plants in the US, in Tennessee and Ohio, which were completed in 2024 and 2022, respectively, and produce high-nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) batteries. GM has requested that some of the production lines be switched to cheaper LFP battery cells, to help lower its battery electric vehicle (BEV) production costs and allow it to offer a broader range of battery options in its BEVs in the North American market. GM hopes to lift its BEV sales in the region by offering both types of batteries in its vehicles, with the more expensive nickel-rich NCM batteries used mainly in its premium BEVs and LFP batteries used in its mass-market models, giving it access to a broader customer base. The US automaker is understood to be planning to offer LFP batteries in five of its seven existing BEV models, including the Chevrolet Bolt, Equinox, Blazer and Silverado EV. LGES and GM are also developing lithium-manganese-rich (LMR) batteries, which are expected to offer good performance characteristics while retaining the low-cost advantages of LFP batteries. Ultium Cells is expected to begin production of LMR batteries in 2028. Samsung SDI has also agreed to switch some production lines at its joint venture plant in Indiana. The facility, which is scheduled to become operational in 2027, was originally designated to produce only NCM batteries, but will now also produce the cheaper LFP battery cells. "LGES, Samsung to produce LFP batteries in the US with GM" was originally created and published by Just Auto, a GlobalData owned brand.
