How Smart EV Charging Will Help Promote Renewable Power Generation

Wallbox

The proportion of grid electricity generated by renewables such as wind and solar energy fluctuates depending on how hard the wind is blowing or how strong the sun is shining. This can lead to a huge variation in the grid power available, which can be a problem for power companies.

Mad Power thoughts

EV Info

Wind farms stand idle for days on end, a fire interrupts a vital cable from France, a combination of post-Covid economic recovery and Russia tightening supply means the gas price has shot through the roof – and so the market price of both home heating and electricity is rocketing. This was plain wrong. Energy Solutions.

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

Green Car Congress

In a paper in Nature , they suggest that the use of such redox-active organic molecules instead of redox-active metals represents a new and promising direction for realizing massive electrical energy storage at greatly reduced cost. Paying for 50 megawatts of power capacity when only 1 megawatt is necessary makes little economic sense.
