The remarkable advantage for BMW customers in using BMW i3 batteries as a plug and play storage application is the ability to tap into an alternative resource for residential and commercial backup power, thus using renewable energy much more efficiently, and enabling additional revenues from the energy market.

Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. They are highly automated production islands that directly convert wind energy to hydrogen, with a few of them processing the gas into fuels and other goods.

But up to 30% of the generated power may not be put into the grid and therefore could be available for hydrogen production (up to 3,600 GWh/a). Two recently opened projected in Germany, Dr Sames pointed out, have demonstrated how using hydrogen to store surplus energy was already a viable technology. Source: DNV.

Vehicle to Grid is a really interesting area to do projects. The idea here is that you can connect your EV to the power grid and flow power from your EV to the Grid. An electric car acts as a load or micro-generating station for the grid. Advantages of V2G in grid perspective 2. The topic is great.

is going on sale in mid-October, followed by the e-Golf launch in the spring of 2014 (in Germany). At an average electricity price of €0.258 (Germany, July 2013), driving 100 kilometers costs just €3.02 (US$4.00). Via a DC/DC converter it also supplies the vehicle’s circuitry with voltage of 12 V. and the e-Golf. Earlier post.)
