Researchers at MIT are proposing using a variation on pumped hydroelectric systems for storage of electricity produced by offshore wind farms. These structures would serve both as anchors to moor the floating turbines and as a means of storing the energy they produce. Earlier post.).

They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid. The company’s president, Tom Gage , dubbed the system “vehicle to grid” or V2G. And EV owners would become entrepreneurs, selling electricity back to the grid. And with the revival of the EV, the V2G concept was reborn.

FLECCS project teams will work to develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) processes that better enable technologies, such as natural gas power generators, to be responsive to grid conditions in a high variable renewable energy (VRE) penetration environment. Phase 1 FLECCS projects are: GE Global Research. 8 Rivers Capital.

The new semi-solid flow cells, which can use established lithium intercalation compounds, could deliver energy densities of 300–500 Wh L -1 (specific energy of 130–250 Wh kg -1 ) at system-level costs, depending upon the chemistries, of $250 kWh -1 and $100 kWh -1 for transportation and grid level storage, respectively, the researchers conclude.

MIT researchers have engineered a new rechargeable, membrane-less hydrogen bromine laminar flow battery with high power density. In such a device, two liquids are pumped through a channel, undergoing electrochemical reactions between two electrodes to store or release energy. Credit: Braff et al. Click to enlarge.

An international team from MIT, Argonne National Laboratory and Peking University has demonstrated a lab-scale proof-of-concept of a new type of cathode for Li-air batteries that could overcome the current drawbacks to the technology, including a high potential gap (>1.2 V) V versus Li/Li +.

This is the moment that the concept of electronic paper, or e-paper, went mainstream. Its story began a decade earlier, in 1997, at the MIT Media Lab , when it was created by two students, J.D. They came up with some early products that targeted shelf labels for brick-and-mortar retail stores and also for signage.
