GE and SCE unveil first battery-gas turbine hybrid system

Green Car Congress

GE and Southern California Edison (SCE) unveiled the first battery-gas turbine hybrid system in Norwalk, California: the LM6000 Hybrid Electric Gas Turbine (Hybrid EGT). Further, California has committed to derive 50% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The unit integrates a 10 MW, 4.3

BMW i home energy storage system integrates 2nd-life i3 vehicle batteries

Green Car Congress

The battery storage system also includes a voltage converter and power electronics to manage the energy flow between renewable energy sources, the house interface, and the Li-Ion high-voltage battery from the BMW i3. This system can enable energy produced from solar panels to be used more efficiently.

Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. To be successful, systems will need to evolve—in some cases, considerably—to compete financially with the cost of natural gas production. The most commonly used systems today work by converting electricity to kinetic (e.g.,
