GE Energy Storage Technologies, a unit of GE Transportation, introduced its Durathon sodium-metal halide battery ( earlier post ) for critical backup power. GE is also using the technology to develop advanced transportation energy storage systems. Sodium-metal halide cell basic chemistry. Click to enlarge.

Under the FOCUS program, projects will develop advanced solar converters that turn sunlight into electricity for immediate use, while also producing heat that can be stored at low cost for later use as well as innovative storage systems that accept both heat and electricity from variable solar sources. Earlier post.). 3,000,000.

The primary goal is to increase the share of clean and sustainable energy in the overall energy mix, thereby reducing dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating environmental impacts. These systems store excess energy generated during periods of high production and release it when demand is high or when renewable generation is low.

CSP technologies concentrate the sun’s energy and capture that energy as heat, which then drives an engine or turbine to produce electrical power. CSP plants can include low-cost energy storage, allowing them to provide electricity even when the sun is not shining. The system will also feature a thermal storage system.

This has radically improved what can be done with high-voltage transmission lines, MRIs, and energy storage. To make YBCO tape, some manufacturers first use a laser to vaporize bulk YBCO into a plume. We theorized that we could get extremely high performance through the brute force of the magnetic field.”

The gears were custom-manufactured by a commercial supplier and modified in Henry’s lab in the Carbon Neutral Energy Solutions (CNES) Laboratory at Georgia Tech. Electricity produced by solar or wind sources could be used to heat molten silicon, creating thermal storage that could be used when needed to produce electricity.

Although CSP can integrate inexpensive thermal energy storage, the cost of CSP solar energy capture is high. These hybrid storage systems must generate electricity at higher round-trip exergy efficiency than is possible today using side-by-side combinations of purely electrical and purely thermal energy storage systems.
