How to Prevent Blackouts by Packetizing the Power Grid

Cars That Think

That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. That would mean installing vast amounts of energy storage, such as. There are a few possibilities.

Shipping industry eyeing hydrogen fuel cells as possible pathway to emissions reduction; work by Germanischer Lloyd and DNV

Green Car Congress

HybridSHIP is concerned with introducing batteries for on-board energy storage, integrated with fuel cells and gas engines. The GL design concept proposes using wind energy to produce LH 2. A 500 MW wind farm could produce up to 10,000 tonnes of liquid hydrogen from surplus power it is unable to feed into the gird.
