Successful AI Implementations in Renewable Energy Forecasting

Baua Electric

As nations across the globe ramp up their commitments to combat climate change, renewable energy has moved from the periphery to the center of the world’s energy strategy. Solar, wind, hydro, and other renewable sources are rapidly replacing fossil fuels. The sun doesn’t always shine, and the wind doesn’t always blow.

New lithium polysulfide flow battery for large-scale energy storage

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have designed a new lithium/polysulfide (Li/PS) semi-liquid (flow) battery for large-scale energy storage, with lithium polysulfide (Li 2 S 8 ) in ether solvent as a catholyte and metallic lithium as an anode.

MIT researchers propose subsea version of pumped hydro for renewable energy storage

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT are proposing using a variation on pumped hydroelectric systems for storage of electricity produced by offshore wind farms. The key to this Ocean Renewable Energy Storage (ORES) system is the placement of 30-meter-diameter hollow concrete spheres on the seafloor under the wind turbines.
