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

Green Car Congress

Quinones are naturally abundant, inexpensive, small organic molecules, and similar to molecules that store energy in plants and animals. The technology could fundamentally transform the way electricity is stored on the grid, making power from renewable energy sources such as wind and sun far more economical and reliable.

How Automotive Dealerships Can Save Money with Battery Energy Storage

Blink Charging

A BESS is a type of technology that utilizes batteries to store and supply reliable electricity when needed at desired levels and quality. For instance, on-peak price may be $0.15 Incorporating a BES system can aid in lowering the operational costs of a DC fast charger. kWh, while off-peak hours could be as low as $0.11

Proposed California Bill SB-233 Mandates Bidirectional Charging for EVs to Advance Grid and Climate Protection

Driivz

The bill, SB-233 , aims to advance grid resilience and protect the climate by using EVs as “batteries on wheels,” tapping their stored energy to balance electricity supply and demand rather than bringing high-polluting peak generators online. Vehicle-to-building works much the same way but on a larger scale.

CPUC proposes revising Net Energy Metering rules to push customers to install storage with rooftop solar

Green Car Congress

Now that California has nearly 25 gigawatts (GW) of solar on its grid, needs have shifted, according to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). It is now essential to address grid reliability shortfalls during “net peak” hours in the early evening when the sun is down and the grid has to rely on fossil fuels to meet demand.

International Transport Forum brief suggests Smart Grid and EV technologies could be mutually beneficial; V2X potential

Green Car Congress

A new policy brief published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) International Transport Forum (ITF) notes that existing electricity systems will need to be reconfigured to support the widespread adoption of electric mobility and suggests that Smart Grid technologies and EVs and EVs could be mutually beneficial.

Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

The company is building these shipping container systems, which work like giant batteries that store energy as heat and pressurized air , rather than a chemical reaction (Cheesecake’s name is derived from a nerdy acronym for their technology.) The compressed air, now cool and easier to store, is housed in a large air tank.
