Solar and Battery Companies Rattle Utility Powerhouses

Cars That Think

All eyes these days may be on Elon Musk's space venture—which has just put people in orbit —but here on Earth you can now get your monthly electric bill courtesy of a different Musk enterprise. The UK-based energy developer's just broken ground on a new four-acre battery storage site outside London, its third such site.

Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

As countries transition away from fossil fuels to green sources of energy like wind and solar, there will be natural lulls in energy production due to weather conditions. Energy consumption also tends to peak during early evening hours , which is inconveniently right when solar energy output decreases.

Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

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. With a whole field of turbines or a large solar farm, one could imagine a few very large storage tanks.
