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. Packetized energy management (PEM) allows the power grid to flexibly handle a varying supply of renewable energy.

It is expected that there will be three million electric vehicles in the whole of Europe by 2020. To reduce CO 2 emissions, it is essential that this vehicle fleet will use green power. It is also important to prevent power grid overloads as a result of peaks in demand if all the cars would be charged at the same time.

Sales of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in India have been minimal due to a myriad of factors, the report notes: little domestic production; the high cost of vehicles; a lack of government commitment; an often unstable power grid; and almost no formal charging infrastructure. —“Electric Vehicles in India”.

Data centers are some of the largest consumers of power in the new economy, and the growth rate of this power consumption is significant as well. The high reliability, low emission rates, low noise levels and dramatically reduced footprint make fuel cells a suitable choice for micro-grids within data centers.

Costs of light-duty plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are high—largely due to their lithium-ion batteries—and unlikely to drastically decrease in the near future, according to a new report from the National Research Council (NRC). The steep early drop in cost often experienced with new technologies is not likely.
