SwRI forms joint industry program to investigate safety, longevity of grid-connected energy storage systems

Green Car Congress

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has launched a new Joint Industry Program (JIP) to investigate energy storage systems for the grid. Over the course of its life, a grid-connected battery must respond slowly or suddenly, depending on the grid demands. The current monitoring standards are insufficient.

Volvo Car Group testing lightweight structural energy storage material applied in trunk lid and plenum cover

Green Car Congress

In one of the papers related to the work, a team from Imperial College London (the academic lead on the project), noted: To date, two main strategies have been applied to the fabrication of multifunctional structural energy storage devices. It is lighter than a standard boot lid, saving on both volume and weight.
