Molecular photoswitches that can both convert and store energy could be used to make solar energy harvesting more efficient. At present, solar energy is either used directly to generate electricity, or indirectly via the energy stored in heat reservoirs. This corresponds to a closed cycle of energy capture, storage and release.

In a region known for long, dark winter nights, Polar Night Energy is building a system in the city of Tampere that can heat buildings with stored solar energy — all day, all night, and all winter long. These initiatives have largely focused on renewable electric power generation, distribution, and storage.

A novel project in Australia aims to harness the sun’s energy in two different ways: by storing it and by using it to produce green hydrogen. Operators can use the systems to store energy from solar panels and deliver power to the grid during cloudy days or at night. All together they’ll represent a 300-megawatt solar installation.

Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, in collaboration with KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, have produced a structural battery that performs ten times better than all previous versions. The carbon fiber acts as a host for the lithium and thus stores the energy. Image: Marcus Folino.

He is a professor of power systems engineering in the Fulton program at Arizona State University , in Tempe. He was part of an IEEE task force that in 2020 issued a report that described how equipment used for storing energy, transferring power over long distances, and integrating renewable energy could impact power system stability.
