2006 Grid Lithium Ion Recharge 
Green Car Congress
JUNE 24, 2009
Leveraging expertise in materials science, nanotechnology, green chemistry and supercomputing, scientists at IBM Research’s Almaden lab in San Jose, California, are undertaking a multi-year research initiative around a grid-scale, efficient, affordable electrical energy storage network. not rechargeable.

And since these trucks typically operate on almost the same route every day and return to a company garage at the end of every operation, systematic central recharging is feasible. The comparison involved a 2011 Smith Newton electric truck powered by a 120 kW electric motor, and a 2006 Freightliner truck powered by a Cummins diesel engine.

Plug-in hybrid vehicles can be plugged into the electric grid – such as a normal 120 volt household outlet - to boost mileage. Since the utility grid has lower demand during overnight hours, the recharging of plug-ins would not add to the peak load. Thanks to Green Car Congress for the tip.

The battery pack is comprised of 5,088 lithium-ion cells for a cummulative 35kWhrs of energy storage. These specifications sound strikingly similar to the electric drive and energy storage system found in the very impressive AC Propulsion eBox electric vehicles which also sport a 5,088 lithium-ion cell battery with 35kWhrs of capacity.

Typical applications of the new convection battery would be plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric grid energy storage, they suggested. Ability to implement measures that will better-allow use of metallic lithium. In the new paper submitted to AIChE Journal , they validated their concept using lithium iron phosphate chemistry.

Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technology is a bi-directional electric grid interface that allows a plug-in to take energy from the grid or put it back on the grid. Smart Grid City will use a realtime high-speed two-way communication throughout the distribution grid. Smart meters and substations will be integral.
