A Virginia Tech research team led by Dr. Y.H. Percival Zhang has developed a high-energy-density sugar “biobattery”—a sugar-fueled fuel cell based on a synthetic enzymatic pathway. Enzymatic fuel cells containing a 15% (wt/v) maltodextrin solution have an energy-storage density of 596?Ah?kg

In trials, GE’s sodium metal halide Durathon batteries ( earlier post ) have successfully powered GE Mining’s Scoop, an underground vehicle that transports mining materials, at Coal River Energy, LLC in Alum Creek, West Virginia. Additionally, the battery contains no lead acid materials. Click to enlarge.

If connection to the AC grid is not available, then the ENVILINE ESS (Energy Storage System) stores the surplus braking energy and feeds it to the power line to assist the acceleration of the train. —Jacques Poulin, ABB’s product manager for energy storage and rail.

Incentives from governments and utilities, along with declining battery prices and increasing battery efficiency and supply, also contribute to reductions in upfront costs. Then use that stored energy to charge EVs during peak times.

Around the same time, however, General Motors and other automakers were in the process of decommissioning their battery EV fleets, the key component of V2G. Electricity is a commodity that is bought and sold, and yet unlike most other commodities, it cannot easily be stored.

Just as conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) cars measure fuel by the gallon, EV owners measure their energy consumption in kWh. This metric quantifies the energy transferred to an EV’s battery during charging, similar to filling up an ICE vehicle. Kentucky will implement the kWh tax starting in January 2024.
