2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. No battery is perfect, however, so engineers keep pushing for new and improved ways to store those electrons.

We are all becoming increasingly familiar with the narrative that, energy storage is the solution for balancing a distributed and renewable grid, therefore reducing the need for vastly oversized infrastructure. Intelligent Power Generation. A fuel-based generator cannot turn on quick enough to respond to these types of changes.

With power-to-gas technology, you don’t need to stop renewable power generation when demand is low. Instead, the excess electricity can be used to make hydrogen that can be integrated into existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure and stored for later use. Power-to-gas systems are currently in place in Germany and Canada.

To make it clear, in a unidirectional (one-way) EV charger, electricity flows from the electric grid into the electric vehicle and with a bidirectional (two-way) EV charger, electricity can flow both ways. Let’s put it this way, if you’ve already paid to charge your vehicle, why not use the left-over power to run your home too?

Batteries get more powerful , charging grows more efficient, and the path to an all-EV future becomes increasingly clear. The potential of this technology now extends beyond simply powering the cars we drive. Through a converter that’s usually present in the charger, it allows vehicles to send energy directly back to the grid.
