How LEED v4.1 Provides Points for EV Charging

Blink Charging

New projects are classified under BD+C (Building Design and Construction) and existing projects are classified under O+M (Operations and Maintenance) for the purposes of LEED certification. Peak Load Optimization: demonstrate that strategy reduces on-peak load by at least 10% as compared to peak electrical demand referenced to the ASHRAE 90.1-2016

Magneti Marelli and Flybrid Systems Collaborate on Flywheel Capacitor for KERS

Green Car Congress

Italian motorsport electronics specialist Magneti Marelli and UK high-speed flywheel specialist Flybrid Systems are collaborating to develop a new energy storage solution for Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS). A small electric pump will occasionally top up the vacuum so that no regular maintenance is required.

PNNL study outlines requirements for grid storage, reviews four electrochemical energy storage systems: vanadium redox flow, Na-beta, Li-ion and lead-carbon

Green Car Congress

Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. And besides technical improvements, the systems will need to be built to last, using materials that are safe and durable so that batteries could operate more than 15 years and require very little maintenance over their lifetime. The need for storage.
