The US Department of Energy is awarding $620 million for projects around the country to demonstrate advanced Smart Grid technologies and integrated systems. The selected projects include advanced battery systems (including flow batteries), flywheels, and compressed air energy systems. New York State Electric & Gas Corporation.
BMW i announced a home stationary energystorage system solution integrating its BMW i3 vehicle battery at EVS 29 in Montréal. The system utilizes BMW i3 high-voltage batteries and can be expanded to incorporate second-life batteries as they become available in the market.
Tesla’s Megapack powerstorage systems are being deployed around much of the world, effectively offering massive batteries for storing energy from renewable sources such as solar or wind energy. Congratulations Megapack team on 12 GWh of operating industrial storage at 99% availability!
An Israeli startup thinks they may have found the solution to rural electric vehicle charging and powerstorage. One of the most significant challenges facing electric vehicle charging in rural areas worldwide is inconsistent power generation; if power isn’t generated, you can’t charge your car.
The hybrid module is available for all two-axle models with automatic transmission featuring the torque converter from the ample Intouro range. This current is stored and is available to the electric motor to support the combustion engine, especially when moving off, but also when accelerating. The drive technology behind it is simple.
Lithium is a stellar element for an electrochemical cell in many ways—it combines a high powerstorage capacity and cell voltage with fast ion migration. In addition, the lithium deposits on earth are limited and not available on all continents, mining is controversial and it can only be recycled extensively.
The 13 MWh battery storage will put its full capacity at the disposal of the German energy market before the end of this year. The output will be available to the winner of the weekly auctions among the network operators for primary controlling power range, with fully automatic energystorage and feed-in.
The system will be integrated with a 750 kW energystorage 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 energystorage and power management system.
will acquire a 51% controlling stake in its energystorage technology partner EEStor for staged cash payments totaling $1 million, and then reorganize the board and management of EEStor. ZENN’s goal now is to be a provider of leading edge powerstorage solutions and related technologies to the transportation industry.
Widespread application of electrical powerstorage 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.
Rated at 2.7V (2.85V surge), the new iCAP represents the lowest weight, lowest equivalent series resistance (ESR) and highest power density currently available in the market for energystorage cells, the company says. Ioxus, Inc. Quick Specs.
In July, the DOE announced that ARPA-E had received approximately 3,500 submissions for the approximately $150 million available as part of the first Funding Opportunity Announcement (DE-FOA-0000065) released 27 April 2009. The projects selected are grouped into 10 areas: EnergyStorage (6 projects). Biomass Energy (5 projects).
In addition to lower conversion losses, direct current based grids offer further considerable potential, among other things in the own use of regenerative energy, which can be generated, for example, via photovoltaic systems on the production halls. This ensures a reliable power supply even in fluctuating grids.
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.
Access to rapidly dispatchable grid-tied energystorage can help to mitigate issues like this. While we’re seeing more of them come out with this capability, as of now there are only a few available in Australia that currently have this capability – the venerable Nissan Leaf EV and the Mitsubishi Outlander and Eclipse Cross PHEVs.
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? Finally there may be new energystorage that requires less lithium. And who is going to pay for all this???… — paul 8.
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.
