New nanoparticle copper compound cathode could enable low-cost, long-life and high-power potassium-ion batteries for grid storage

Green Car Congress

Short-term transients, including those related to wind and solar sources, present challenges to the electrical grid. Stationary energy storage systems that can operate for many cycles, at high power, with high round-trip energy efficiency, and at low cost are required. Cost is a greater concern.

Opinion: Reinventing fuel-based power for a more secure and resilient grid

Green Car Congress

It is, however, a challenge that is being made all the greater as we continue to decentralize power generation with more distributed, variable and inflexible sources, such as wind and solar. This is to ensure that electricity is always there to safely power everything from industrial plants to the wall sockets in our homes and offices.

Tesla Energy takes a stand against coal and gas generators in Australia

Teslarati

Tesla Energy firmly argued against using coal and gas generators to support a proposed low-cost, reliable, secure, and zero-emissions grid in Australia. . The project was aimed at providing a more robust and lower emissions power system for Australians. Provisions for locational and temporal specific needs (e.g.,

Australia Goes All-in on Green Hydrogen

Cars That Think

The carbon-free rigs will pack 50 kilos of hydrogen zapped from water using electricity from the refinery’s dedicated solar power plant. Ark’s first move was to access more renewable power in Australia by buying into a 923-MW wind farm that’s expected to spin up in 2024. Why a hydrogen truck? In 2021, Ark Energy took a stake in.

UC Davis researchers suggest we may be at the beginning of a real hydrogen transition in transportation

Green Car Congress

in the past few years important factors have emerged that are re-accelerating the commercialization of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. Low-cost shale gas has improved the prospects for natural gas-derived hydrogen, especially in the United States, where it is a major force in the resurgence of federal interest in hydrogen energy.
