Expanded graphite is already commercially available, but industry uses a different method to make it. They won’t be as powerful as lithium-ion batteries. If they follow Yang’s procedure, they can use it to make expanded graphite suitable for sodium-ion batteries. —UMD Professor Chunsheng Wang. —UMD Professor John Cumings.

Widespread application of electrical power storage may require more abundant materials than those available in inorganics (which often require rare metals), and at a lower cost. Materials for charge storage are desired from easily accessible and renewable sources. —Milczarek and Inganäs. doi: 10.1126/science.1215159.

At the current growth rate, humans will consume 90% of available fresh water by 2025, by which time the population living in water-stressed areas is expected to increase to 3.9 Wh l –1 ), the most efficient technique presently available. In their paper, the team reports demonstrating an energy consumption of 0.29 —Pasta et al.

Electricity generation from variable renewable electricity sources (VRE) such as wind and solar power has grown rapidly and is expected to continue to do so. However, the distributed, non-synchronous, and weather-dependent nature of the resources causes specific challenges when integrating them into power systems.

A team of researchers in South Korea and Italy has demonstrated a highly reliable lithium–sulfur battery showing cycle performance comparable to that of commercially available lithium-ion batteries while offering more than double the energy density. We believe that these results might advance the development of practical lithium?sulfur

The system will be integrated with a 750 kW energy storage facility that can store 2 MWh of energy using batteries—enough to power 100 average Michigan homes for a year. Xtreme Power of Austin, Texas, is supplying its Dynamic Power Resource on-site energy storage and power management system.

Smart EV charging uses intelligence to manage when and how an electric vehicle plugged into a smart charger will receive power for charging based on the cost of electricity, its availability, and the needs of the driver. They want chargers to always be available and simple to use.

In other words, it automatically distributes available energy evenly across all charging stations to ensure you’re not exceeding the condo’s maximum energy capacity. This turns EV batteries into a source for power storage that can be leveraged to balance energy capacity in your condo. The next step is getting a permit.

Of course, everything has its drawbacks and one problem with charging at home is that it is not an option available for some city dwellers. Although charging infrastructure is beginning to find its way into cities, it may be awhile until they are available in residential neighborhoods en masse. It does not reflect well upon you.

Aren’t we just exchanging one nonrenewable resource for another? The whole infrastructure needs to be revamped, from electrical generation to transmission of to user sources and, finally, how to make plug-in sites available to city dwellers? There are only 3 or 4 countries with lithium. C Dumke — Conrad Dumke 6.
