This is part of a research project in which Volvo Buses, Göteborg Energi, Riksbyggen and Johanneberg Science Park are working together to examine electricity storage in apartment blocks that have their own electricity production via solar panels. The battery warehouse consists of 14 used lithium-ion electric bus batteries.

It comes upon us when we have barely started ripping out our gas boilers to make way for the expensive and inefficient heat pumps the Government is telling us to buy, or building the costly new power stations that will be needed to charge the electric cars we will all soon require. This was plain wrong.

The same approach can balance the flow of power between chargers at a workplace or destination, where cars are parked for relatively long time periods, to avoid grid overload during peak energy use. The battery can “tell” the grid how much power is available in its battery. These capabilities are available and in use today. .

In a paper in Nature , they suggest that the use of such redox-active organic molecules instead of redox-active metals represents a new and promising direction for realizing massive electrical energy storage at greatly reduced cost. Paying for 50 megawatts of power capacity when only 1 megawatt is necessary makes little economic sense.

In doing so, it promises to significantly advance the power system flexibility required to support charging the 250 million EVs projected to be on the road by 2030. That means millions of electricity storage units – the batteries – are available to the electric grid to serve peak demand, with the vehicles recharging during non-peak hours.

Energy storage has two main factors—how fast it can be charged and discharged (the spigot) and how much total energy it can hold (the bathtub). Batteries have a powerful spigot, but that comes at the cost of a small tub. The compressed air, once heated, drives a piston that runs a generator to produce electricity.

For some (not all) use cases, the economic advantages of going electric have been clear for a long time, and yet we’ve seen a dozen EV manufacturers go bust while trying to address the commercial market, while fleet operators continue to buy diesel vehicles, which continue to belch out clouds of oily black smoke. megawatt chargers?
