Massive solar array to power airside electric ground service vehicles at JFK Airport’s New Terminal One

Charged EVs

Kennedy International Airport, the busiest airport for international traffic in North America, always seems to be reinventing itself. It opened in 1948 as New York International Airport, although it was typically referred to then as Idlewild. MWh of battery energy storage to balance electrical demand and improve power quality.

"Flying Batteries" Could Help Microdrones Take Off

Cars That Think

Merciers student Zixiao Lin described the new circuit last month at IEEE International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC). The best way to do that is to use lithium-ion batteries, because they have the best energy density. The piezoelectric actuator in the circuit acts like a capacitor, storing energy.

IIASA-led study proposes Underground Gravity Energy Storage as long-term energy storage solution for renewables

Green Car Congress

However, because sunshine and wind are inherently variable and inconsistent, finding ways to store energy in an accessible and efficient way is crucial. While there are many effective solutions for daily energy storage, the most common being batteries, a cost-effective long-term solution is still lacking. Dabek, P.B.,

UCR researchers find commercial fast-charging damages EV batteries, propose new internal-resistance-based technique

Green Car Congress

Commercial fast-charging stations subject electric car batteries to high temperatures and high resistance that can cause them to crack, leak, and lose their storage capacity, according to researchers at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) in a new open-access study published in the journal Energy Storage.
