Exide and Leclanché launch Li-ion battery JV in India

Green Car Congress

Exide Industries Ltd, India’s largest manufacturer of lead acid storage batteries and power storage solutions provider, and Switzerland-based Li-ion battery manufacturer Leclanché SA announced a joint venture to build lithium-ion batteries and provide energy storage systems for India’s electric vehicle market and grid-based applications.

JRC study finds 8 metals for low-carbon energy technologies at risk of shortages; EVs, wind and solar, and lighting the applications of most concern

Green Car Congress

The applications, i.e. technologies, of particular concern as a result are electric vehicles, wind and solar energy, and lighting. Dysprosium was identified as being the most at risk, as the EU is expected to require 25% of the expected world supply in 2020-2030 to meet the Union’s demand for hybrid and electric vehicles and wind turbines.

Increasingly, they are making inroads in transportation and grid storage applications. Electric utilities will implement more energy storage projects on their grids — partly driven by regulations as well as the proliferation of clean-energy grids with distributed wind and solar generation. That must change.

Axion supplying PbC batteries to Norfolk Southern for all-battery switcher and working on line-haul hybrid locomotives; micro-hybrid and stationary expansion

Green Car Congress

PbC batteries are multi-celled asymmetrically supercapacitive lead-acid-carbon hybrid batteries. Like a lead-acid battery, it comprises a series of cells. NS originally built NS-999 in early 2009 with leadacid batteries; however, the leadacid system consistently failed field testing.

To provide a context, even the much older lead acid chemistry lasts for 300 to 500 cycles.) In cylindrical cells, pressure does not matter, but here’s the catch: a high number of contacts leads to a challenge in electrical resistance management. However if you put the windings on the stator, life becomes easier.

How 14 Microgrids Set Off a Chain Reaction in A Himalayan Village

Cars That Think

The grids were divided among the village's monastery, dormitories at the elementary school, and a small computer lab built by GHE that doubles as an Internet café for travelers. The two-lane road heading out of town is winding but relatively smooth," Kumagi wrote. The engineers trekked alongside them.
